I have been looking for a package to do time series modelling in R with neural networks for quite some time with limited success. The only implementation I am aware of that takes care of autoregressive lags in a user-friendly way is the nnetar function in the forecast package, written by Rob Hyndman. In my… Read More »
On 16/11/2016 I gave a talk at the Stockholm School of Economics on the topic of advances in modelling and demand forecasting. Given the diversity of the audience I avoided going into the details of the mathematical formulations, some of which can be found in the appendix of the presentation. The presentation summarises three different… Read More »
Last August I attended the International Symposium on Inventories, organised by the International Society for Inventory Research (ISIR 2016). This is the second time I had attended this conference and it has been again a very good experience. Interesting talks on a variety of relevant topics to forecasting research. I organised a special track on… Read More »

Last June I attended the International Symposium on Forecasting (ISF) at Santander, which had been very interesting and enjoyable. I had already posted about the presentations I gave. I was involved in a number of… Read More »
Last week I attended the International Symposium on Forecasting 2016. It was very interesting and enjoyable. Apart from the workshop on forecasting with R, I gave the following presentations: Forecasting with Temporal Hierarchies This presentation was given to the practitioner track of the conference and its aim was to introduce the basic idea of temporal… Read More »
G. Athanasopoulos, R.J. Hyndman, N. Kourentzes and F. Petropoulos, 2015.
This is a talk that I am giving today at the University of Sydney Business School. This research builds upon MAPA and cross-sectional hierarchical forecasting, in particular optimal combinations. Temporal hierarchies reconcile across time, resulting in accurate short and long-term forecasts that can lead to aligned plans and decisions. Temporal hierarchies can be used with… Read More »
The International Symposium on Forecasting (ISF 2015) was held this week in Riverside, CA. It was a very interesting conference, with stimulating talks and a wide variety of forecasting related topics, both for academics and practitioners. It is a highly recommended conference to attend. I organised the invited session on the topic of “Forecasting with… Read More »
