Support for the foreach looping construct.  Foreach is an
        idiom that allows for iterating over elements in a collection,
        without the use of an explicit loop counter.  This package in
        particular is intended to be used for its return value, rather
        than for its side effects.  In that sense, it is similar to the
        standard lapply function, but doesn't require the evaluation
        of a function.  Using foreach without side effects also
        facilitates executing the loop in parallel.

Implementation of Forecastable Component Analysis ('ForeCA'),
    including main algorithms and auxiliary function (summary, plotting, etc.) to
    apply 'ForeCA' to multivariate time series data. 'ForeCA' is a novel dimension
    reduction (DR) technique for temporally dependent signals. Contrary to other
    popular DR methods, such as 'PCA' or 'ICA', 'ForeCA' takes time dependency
    explicitly into account and searches for the most ''forecastable'' signal.
    The measure of forecastability is based on the Shannon entropy of the spectral
    density of the transformed signal.

Methods and tools for displaying and analysing
             univariate time series forecasts including exponential smoothing
             via state space models and automatic ARIMA modelling.

The function forAD() implements the adaptive forecasting procedure of Giraitis, Kapetanios and Price (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2013.04.003>. The method can be iterated (e.g., adapt²) and combined with autoregressive (AR) forecasting. These approaches are computationally simple and adapt automatically to structural changes without requiring prior specification of the underlying data-generating process. They are applicable to both stationary and non-stationary time series. The numerical and graphical outputs assist in selecting an appropriate forecasting method, particularly one that minimises mean squared forecast error (MSFE) and yields uncorrelated forecast errors.

Aim: Supports the most frequently used methods to combine forecasts. Among others: Simple average, Ordinary Least Squares, Least Absolute Deviation, Constrained Least Squares, Variance-based, Best Individual model, Complete subset regressions and Information-theoretic (information criteria based).
