Entropy Application for Forecasting

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing in forecasting availability and the controversial debate about the advantages of alternative forecasting methods suggest the need of further research in this field, including both theoretical developments and innovative applications. Within this context, Information Theory provides a suitable framework for the analysis of forecasting uncertainty.

This special issue of Entropy emphasizes research that addresses forecasting problems using Information Theory. Theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome, including but not limited to, forecasting techniques, forecast uncertainty, comparison and blending of forecasts, forecasting evaluation and quality, scenario-based forecasting and other related areas.
