Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your latest research to this Special Issue on the topic of Bayesian Time Series Forecasting.

Since the early 1990s, the importance of Bayesian methods to the study of time series has increased rapidly. This has, no doubt, been ignited by an increase in appreciation for the advantages that Bayesian inference provides. It provides us with a formal way to incorporate the prior information before seeing the data in a natural manner, it fits perfectly with sequential learning and decision-making, and it directly leads to exact results from small samples. In addition, the Bayesian paradigm is particularly suited to prediction, since it takes into account all parameters and even model uncertainty. Nowadays, with the availability of large amounts of data, Bayesian analysis remains suitable for solving forecasting problems by combining all of the information and sources of uncertainty into a predictive distribution for future values.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Forecasting is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In this paper, we provide a novel Bayesian solution to forecasting extreme quantile thresholds that are dynamic in nature. This is an important problem in many fields of study including climatology, structural engineering, and finance. We utilize results from extreme value theory to provide the backdrop for developing a state-space model for the unknown parameters of the observed time-series. To solve for the requisite probability densities, we derive a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter and, most importantly, a computationally efficient, recursive solution. Using the filter, the predictive distribution of future observations, conditioned on the past data, is forecast at each time-step and used to compute extreme quantile levels. We illustrate the improvement in forecasting ability, versus traditional methods, using simulations and also apply our technique to financial market data. Full article
