to the drc − Chol (due to the usually small shr<strong>in</strong>kage constants), but as we shall<br />

see later the forecasts are <strong>in</strong> fact somewhat better.<br />

Turn<strong>in</strong>g to the statistical comparison <strong>of</strong> the forecast<strong>in</strong>g methods, we first<br />

briefly present the Diebold–Mariano test<strong>in</strong>g framework as <strong>in</strong> Harvey et al.<br />

(1997). Suppose a pair <strong>of</strong> l-step ahead forecasts h1 and h2, h1,h2 ∈ H have<br />

produced errors (e1t,e2t), t = 1,...,T. The null hypothesis <strong>of</strong> equality <strong>of</strong> forecasts<br />

is based on some function g(e) <strong>of</strong> the forecast errors and has the form<br />

E [g(e1t) − g(e2t)] = 0. Def<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the loss differential dt = g(e1t) − g(e2t) and<br />

its average ¯d = T −1 � T t=1 dt, the authors note that ‘the series dt is likely to be<br />
