- Abstract:
-
We analyse by simulation the impact of model-selection strategies (sometimes called pre-testing) on forecast performance in both constant- and non-constant-parameter processes. Restricted, unrestricted and selected models are compared when either of the first two might generate the data. We find little evidence that strategies such as general-to-specific induce significant over-fitting, or thereby cause forecast-failure rejection rates to greatly exceed nominal sizes. Parameter non-constancie...
