Forecasting using a bagged model

Description

Returns forecasts and other information for bagged models.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'baggedModel'
forecast(
  object,
  h = ifelse(frequency(object$y) > 1, 2 * frequency(object$y), 10),
  ...
)

Arguments

object	An object of class "baggedModel" resulting from a call to baggedModel.
h	Number of periods for forecasting.
...	Other arguments, passed on to the forecast function of the original method

Details

Intervals are calculated as min and max values over the point forecasts from the models in the ensemble. I.e., the intervals are not prediction intervals, but give an indication of how different the forecasts within the ensemble are.

Value

An object of class "forecast".

The function summary is used to obtain and print a summary of the results, while the function plot produces a plot of the forecasts and prediction intervals.

An object of class "forecast" is a list containing at least the following elements:

model	A list containing information about the fitted model
method	The name of the forecasting method as a character string
mean	Point forecasts as a time series
lower	Lower limits for prediction intervals
upper	Upper limits for prediction intervals
level	The confidence values associated with the prediction intervals
x	The original time series (either object itself or the time series used to create the model stored as object).
xreg	The external regressors used in fitting (if given).
residuals	Residuals from the fitted model. That is x minus fitted values.
fitted	Fitted values (one-step forecasts)
