Title: Interpretation of Point Forecasts as State-Dependent Quantiles
and Expectiles
Version: 0.2.1
Authors@R: person("Patrick", "Schmidt", email = "pschmidte@gmail.com", role = c("aut", "cre"))
Description: Estimate specification models for the state-dependent
level of an optimal quantile/expectile forecast. Wald Tests and
the test of overidentifying restrictions are implemented.
Plotting of the estimated specification model is possible. The
package contains two data sets with forecasts and realizations:
the daily accumulated precipitation at London, UK from the
high-resolution model of the European Centre for Medium-Range
Weather Forecasts (ECMWF, ) and GDP
growth Greenbook data by the US Federal Reserve. See Schmidt,
Katzfuss and Gneiting (2015)
for more details on the identification and estimation of a
directive behind a point forecast.
