Spaghetti prediction: A robust method for forecasting short time series

Methodology 2014-03-28 v1

Abstract

A novel method for predicting time series is described and demonstrated. This method inputs time series data points and outputs multiple "spaghetti" functions from which predictions can be made. Spaghetti prediction has desirable properties that are not realized by classic autoregression, moving average, spline, Gaussian process, and other methods. It is particularly appropriate for short time series because it allows asymmetric prediction distributions and produces prediction functions which are robust in that they use multiple independent models.
