Whole-Route Forecasts: Better Plans for Linked Events
Read by Roger, a synthetic voice
PathFM forecasts whole future paths instead of separate points. It draws complete linked futures in short passes. The authors report it matches usual accuracy on standard tests, leads a new whole-path test, and keeps long-run variation better in hard tests.
Our take: The evidence is fairly strong across standard and new tests, but the path test is new and comes from the authors. It matters where plans depend on runs of events, such as energy or supplies.
- Most leading forecasters give separate future odds, leaving links between times unclear.
- PathFM draws complete future paths for linked measures and uses short passes to do so quickly.
- The authors report top whole-path scores, competitive usual accuracy, and steadier long-run swings in hard tests.
