Hierarchical forecasting: forecasting a collection of time series
Hierarchical forecasting is a method used to generate forecasts at multiple levels of aggregation within a structured hierarchy. This technique is particularly valuable in situations where data can be organised into a hierarchy based on different dimensions, such as geography, product categories, or time. The approach ensures that forecasts at the top levels (e.g. total sales) align with forecasts at the lower levels (e.g. regional or product-level sales), creating a coherent and consistent forecasting process across the entire hierarchy.In many …

Exploring the potential of M-assisted survey estimators
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) conducts surveys to collect information from individuals, households and businesses in order to produce statistics and data products to help inform decision-making. Unlike a census, in which an entire population of interest is enumerated (e.g., all individuals residing in Australia), a survey collects information from only a sample (subset) of a population of interest. Estimators are then used to estimate quantities related to the population of interest using information from the sample. Currently, the …
