Forecasting data published at irregular time intervals using an extension of Holt's method
Article Abstract:
In reality, most data series provide observations at irregular times while the majority of forecasting techniques are restricted to situations of equal time intervals in between data points. The article examines the extensions of Holt's Method and the Single Exponential Smoothing for the case of data that is irregularly spaced and represents them as very functional computations. The new techniques are used for six published series, with their performance evaluated according to four error measures with regard to alterations in the smoothing parameters.

The use of screening in policy analysis
Article Abstract:
There are many alternative policies, with their own effects, for the majority of policy analysis studies. Budget and time constraints make it difficult to compute all of the impacts of each individual policy. Consequently, these studies involve some process for cutting the amount of alternatives to be evaluated in detail. The approach is usually implicit and nonscientific.
