主讲内容：
Forecasting has important applications in many areas. Ever since the pioneering work by Clive Granger, a Nobel Laureate in economics, a number of papers have devoted on the topic of how to combine different forecasts. There are several theoretical, computational and practical issues that are crucial to achieve accurate, robust and widely applicable forecast combinations. In this talk, we will introduce the forecast combination problem and provide insight on computational challenges and ways to attain effective combinations. Part of the work is joint with Gang Cheng, Wei Qian, Craig Rolling and Xiaoqiao Wei.
