Description

Randomization test for forecast dominance

Usage

1
2
fdtest(fc, functional = "expectile", alpha = 0.5, np = 1000,
  test_functional = "sqpos")

Arguments

fc

matrix with forecasts (first two cols) and realization (third col)

functional

either "expectile" or "quantile"

alpha

level of the expectile or quantile

np

nr of randomization draws

test_functional

test statistic to be used, either "sqpos" or "abspos"

Details

Note: The test's H0 is that forecast 1 weakly dominates forecast 2. Hence, low p-values indicate that forecast 1 is not dominant. This can mean that either i) forecast 2 is dominant or that ii) none of the forecasts dominates the other.
