Forecasting in a changing environment
A good forecasting model captures the way things
move, not just where things are.
a highly volatile environment will continue to
be highly volatile;
a business with fluctuating sales will continue
to have fluctuating sales;
an economy that has gone through booms and
busts will continue to go through booms and
busts.
“If we could first know where we are and whither we
are tending, we could better judge what to do and
how to do it.” Abraham Lincoln

Efficient Market Hypothesis
Market efficiency causes existing values to
always incorporate and reflect all relevant
information. Thus, current values are their
own forecasts.
Consequences
No such thing as an undervalued stock or
inflated stock.
Insider information or waiting a long time
are the only ways to win.
In reality, slight inefficiencies exist but are
usually insufficient to beat transaction costs.

Australian drug sales
The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) is
the Australian government drugs subsidy scheme.
Many drugs bought from pharmacies (“drug
stores” in the US) are subsidised to allow more
equitable access to modern drugs.
The cost to government is determined by the
number and types of drugs purchased.
Currently nearly 1% of GDP.
The total cost is budgeted based on forecasts
of drug usage.

Forecasting the PBS
In 2001: $4.5 billion budget, under-forecasted
by $800 million.
Subject to covert marketing, volatile products,
uncontrollable expenditure.
Monthly data on thousands of drug groups and
4 concession types available from 1991.
Data were aggregated to annual values, and
only the first three years were being used in
estimating the forecasts.
All forecasts being done with the FORECAST
function in MS-Excel!

Forecasting the PBS
As part of this project, we developed an
automatic forecasting algorithm for exponential
smoothing state space models based on the
AIC.
Exponential smoothing models allowed for
time-changing trend and seasonal patterns.
Forecast MAPE reduced from 15–20% to 0.6%.
State space models provide prediction intervals
which give a sense of uncertainty.
Algorithm now implemented as ets function
in forecast package in R.

The problem
We want to forecast the peak electricity
demand in a half-hour period in twenty years
time.
We have fifteen years of half-hourly electricity
data, temperature data and some economic
and demographic data.
The location is South Australia: home to the
most volatile electricity demand in the world.
Sounds impossible?

“The M3-Competition is a final attempt by the authors to
settle the accuracy issue of various time series methods. . .
The extension involves the inclusion of more methods/
researchers (in particular in the areas of neural networks
and expert systems) and more series.”

  • 40. Forecasting the PBS As part of this project, we developed an automatic forecasting algorithm for exponential smoothing state space models based on the AIC. Exponential smoothing models allowed for time-changing trend and seasonal patterns. Forecast MAPE reduced from 15–20% to 0.6%. State space models provide prediction intervals which give a sense of uncertainty. Algorithm now implemented as ets function in forecast package in R.

State space models provide prediction intervals which give a sense of uncertainty. Algorithm now implemented as ets function in forecast package in R.
