Wasserstein Exponential Smoothing for Distributional Time Series Forecasting

The paper introduces Wasserstein Exponential Smoothing (WES), a single‑parameter recursive method for forecasting distributional time series on ℝ. WES updates forecast distributions along Wasserstein geodesics, allowing direct application to empirical distributions without parametric modeling. In high‑frequency equity‑index return and household electricity‑demand data, WES achieves the lowest one‑step‑ahead Wasserstein prediction error among existing benchmarks and is retained in the 90% model confidence set for all 20 series examined.

Forecasting Voltage Time Series under Anomalies Using a WGAN Model With Lipschitz Control and Progressive Kernel Critic Strategy

The paper presents a deep learning framework, WGAN‑CLP, that forecasts voltage time‑series under anomalies by employing a Wasserstein GAN with a progressive Lipschitz penalty and an adaptive kernel critic. It processes a sliding window of data, predicts subsequent values, reconstructs the stream, and dynamically adjusts its kernel for each new window. Experiments on voltage and energy datasets show the model surpasses benchmark methods in accuracy and robustness, as measured by power ratios, correlation coefficient, and relative RMSE.

Online Multivariate Regularized Distributional Regression for High-dimensional Probabilistic Electricity Price Forecasting

The paper presents an online algorithm for multivariate distributional regression tailored to high‑dimensional probabilistic electricity price forecasting. It models conditional means, variances, and dependence structures of 24‑hour day‑ahead prices using coordinate descent and LASSO regularization, enabling scalable estimation in large covariate spaces. A regularized estimation path allows early stopping to prevent overfitting, and the method delivers interpretable, well‑calibrated joint prediction intervals, outperforming benchmarks on German market data.

Parametric and Generative Forecasts of EPEX Day-Ahead Energy Market Curves

The paper introduces two methods for modelling aggregated supply and demand curves in the EPEX SPOT Day‑Ahead market. The first is a low‑dimensional parametric approach that produces deterministic point forecasts using plateau levels, elastic‑region boundaries, polynomial coefficients, and XGBoost. The second is a high‑dimensional generative approach based on conditional Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models that samples plausible curves from price arrivals and volume‑increment marks, enabling analysis of price and volume sensitivity and price impact.
