PointFore: PointFore: A package for estimating state-dependent quantile...

Description PointFore functions

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 daily accumulated precipitation at London, UK from the high-resolution model of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF, https://www.ecmwf.int/). The package further contains quarterly GDP growth data with observations and forecasts from the Federal Reserve's Greenbook. Based on "Interpretation of Point Forecasts" by Patrick Schmidt, Matthias Katzfuss, and Tilmann Gneiting.
