Exploring the sources of uncertainty: Why does bagging for time series forecasting work?

TL;DR: The results show that the benefits of bagging predominantly originate from the model uncertainty: the fact that different models might be selected as optimal for the bootstrapped series should be preferred to selecting a single model.
