Wasserstein Exponential Smoothing extends forecasting to distributional time series

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method called Wasserstein Exponential Smoothing (WES) to extend exponential smoothing techniques to distributional time series. This approach allows for forecasting when observations are probability distributions rather than single real numbers. The paper details a principled generalization of exponential smoothing within Wasserstein space and demonstrates how to estimate the smoothing parameter by minimizing Wasserstein distance, showing practical effectiveness in financial and energy demand forecasting.
