TLDR
This paper proposes the use of a number of nonparametric comparison methods for evaluating traffic flow forecasting techniques, free of any distributional assumptions and can be legitimately used on small datasets.Abstract:
This paper proposes the use of a number of nonparametric comparison methods for evaluating traffic flow forecasting techniques. The advantage to these methods is that they are free of any distributional assumptions and can be legitimately used on small datasets. To demonstrate the applicability of these tests, a number of models for the forecasting of traffic flows are developed. The one-step-ahead forecasts produced are then assessed using nonparametric methods. Consideration is given as to whether a method is universally good or good at reproducing a particular aspect of the original series. That choice will be dictated, to a degree, by the user’s purpose for assessing traffic flow.read more

Nonparametric Tests for Comparing Forecasting Models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of nonparametric tests used in business analysis and propose an alternative non-parametric statistical test that is highly robust, sensitive, and specific, based on comparing the a priori known probability of an event with its observed relative frequency.
