What this subgroup is for

When to reach for forecast combination

Reach for forecast combination when no single model is clearly best and you want to average out model risk by pooling several reasonable specifications.

Forecast combinationLive/Empirical lab support

Forecast ensemble

Combination of several base forecasters -- simple averages, weighted blends, or stacking -- to reduce single-model risk.

Best for: When no single model is reliably best and combining several produces a steadier out-of-sample read.
