Wasserstein Exponential Smoothing

arXiv:2606.05560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Exponential smoothing (ES) often outperforms other techniques in time series forecasting across a wide range of data-generating processes. While ES has traditionally been applied to time series in $\mathbb{R}$, this paper extends the methodology to distributional time series, where each observation is a probability distribution on $\mathbb{R}$. The primary contribution of this work is twofold. First, we propose a principled and intuitive generalization of ES within the Wasserstein space, which retains the exceptional parsimony of classical ES.…
