How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Tourism Forecasting Competition (2011, methodology): “This is a similar result to Witt and Witt (1995) and Kulendran and King (1997), but is in contrast to Allen and Fildes (2001) and Song et al.”
Illusions in Regression Analysis (2012, background): “Allen and Fildes (2001) provide an obvious starting point for research topics as they developed principles for the effective use of regression based on the existing knowledge.”
Findings from Evidence-Based Forecasting: Methods for Reducing Forecast Error (2006, unknown): “Allen and Fildes (2001) found that where there were good data, causal models were more accurate than non-causal extrapolations.”
Forecasting and operational research: a review (2008, methodology): “These tests should be carried out prior to model specification, since the empirical results summarized in Allen and Fildes (2005) suggest that such pre-testing improves subsequent forecasting accuracy.”
