Parametric Prior Mapping Framework for Non-stationary Probabilistic Time Series Forecasting
The article introduces a new framework called Parametric Prior Mapping (PPM) for forecasting non-stationary probabilistic time series. PPM combines the strengths of parametric methods and deep generative models to improve predictive accuracy and efficiency. Empirical results indicate that PPM outperforms existing methods in handling non-stationary data.
- ▪Parametric Prior Mapping (PPM) injects parametric structural priors into generative modeling processes.
- ▪The framework allows for dynamic, adaptive priors that enhance the learning of complex predictive distributions.
- ▪PPM has been shown to yield precise forecasts with well-calibrated uncertainty estimates.

Existing parametric approaches benefit from strong inductive biases but lack flexibility, whereas deep generative models struggle to capture complex temporal dependencies without extensive data and computation.
