Lag Selection

Lag selection, the process of determining the optimal number of past data points to use in predictive models, is crucial for accurate forecasting across diverse fields. Current research emphasizes finding robust methods for selecting this parameter, particularly within the context of high-dimensional time series and deep learning architectures, focusing on techniques like cross-validation and convex programming to improve model performance. The accurate selection of lags significantly impacts forecasting accuracy, with both under- and overestimation leading to suboptimal results, highlighting the need for improved methodologies and evaluation metrics, such as length-adaptive measures for applications like simultaneous speech translation. This research directly impacts the reliability and efficiency of predictive models across various domains.
