HOW RELEVANCE-BASED PREDICTION WORKS
Relevance-based prediction (RBP) is an innovative model-free forecasting routine that overcomes the limitations of both classical prediction models and machine learning.
RBP forms predictions as weighted averages of past observations, where the weights are determined using fundamental principles of information theory to gauge which observations and predictive variables are most important for each individual prediction task.
By considering thousands of combinations of observations and variables for each prediction task, RBP extracts as much information from complex datasets as machine learning models. But unlike machine learning models, which rely on uninterpretable parameters, RBP reveals precisely how each observation and each variable influences the prediction.
Key advantages
-
RBP addresses complex relationships that are beyond the reach of linear regression.
-
RBP is transparent and adaptive, unlike machine learning models.
-
RBP identifies the optimal blend of observations and predictive variables for each individual prediction task.
-
RBP anticipates task-specific reliability for each individual prediction.
-
RBP guards against overfitting and offers protection against data errors.
-
RBP explains variable importance for each task, improving on conventional t-statistics and Shapley values.
-
RBP is theoretically justified by information theory and other fundamental principles.
-
RBP is robust to missing data and unforeseen circumstances.
