In recent papers, a new plausibility-based forecasting method was proposed. While this method has been empirically successful, one of its steps—selecting a uniform probability distribution for the plausibility level—is heuristic. It is therefore desirable to check whether this selection is optimal or whether a modified selection would like to a more accurate forecast. In this paper, we show that the uniform distribution does not always lead to (asymptotically) optimal estimates, and we show how to modify the uniform-distribution step so that the resulting estimates become asymptotically optimal. 2017-09-28T04:11:31Z 2017-09-28T04:11:31Z Book Series 1860949X 2-s2.0-85012273390 10.1007/978-3-319-50742-2_7 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85012273390&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/40813
