Forecasting uncertainty: sequential split conformal prediction + Block bootstrap (web app)

This post was firstly submitted to the Applied Quantitative Investment Management group on LinkedIn. It illustrates a recipe implemented in Python package nnetsauce for time series forecasting uncertainty quantification (through simulation): sequential split conformal prediction + block bootstrap

Underlying algorithm:

• Split data into training set, calibration set and test set
• Obtain point forecast on calibration set
• Obtain calibrated residuals = point forecast on calibration set – true observation on calibration set
• Simulate calibrated residuals using block bootstrap
• Obtain Point forecast on test set
• Prediction = Calibrated residuals simulations + point forecast on test set

Interested in experimenting more? Here is a web app.
