Card forecasts for M4

Abstract:
The M4 forecast competition required forecasts of 100,000 time series at different frequencies. We provide a detailed description of the calibrated average of Rho and Delta (Card) forecasting method that we developed for this purpose. Delta estimates a dampened trend from the growth rates, while Rho estimates an adaptive but simple autoregressive model. Calibration estimates a more elaborate autoregressive model, treating the averaged forecasts from Rho and Delta as if they were observed. The proposed method is easy to understand, combining very fast execution with an excellent forecast performance.
