This repository serves as a curated reference for the domain of forecast reconciliation. It aims to contain an extensive collection of academic papers, articles, software tools, and educational resources. Ideal for researchers, analysts, and practitioners seeking to improve the consistency and precision of forecasting methodologies.
We wish to express our deep appreciation to the authors of the paper "Forecast reconciliation: A review" - George Athanasopoulos, Rob J Hyndman, Nikolaos Kourentzes, and Anastasios Panagiotelis - for providing their BibTeX file, which served as the cornerstone of this repository. Their paper serves as an invaluable resource with its comprehensive and insightful analysis of the forecast reconciliation field, providing a thorough overview of the existing literature and highlighting key advancements and research trends.
The remainder of the README is organized as follows: the Introduction collects entry points and reviews; the three core sections cover the main reconciliation frameworks (Cross-sectional, Temporal, and Cross-temporal). A Software section catalogs open-source implementations in R and Python. Beyond forecasting and reconciliation gathers closely related foundations (aggregation, benchmarking, temporal distribution, accounting constraints, etc.). Finally, Thesis section includes dissertations in the area.
