This paper proposes a new approach to time series forecasting based upon three premises: first, a model is selected not by how well it fits historical data but on its ability to accurately predict out-of-sample actual data, and second, models/methods are optimized for each forecasting horizon separately, making it possible to have different models/ methods to predict each of the m horizons.
