SynthCast (version 0.2.1)
Synthetic Control Method to Forecast Series
Description
Not a new method implementation.
Usage of the Synthetic Control Method, see Abadie et al. (2011) ,
as an ad-hoc approach to forecast series with panel in a specific context. The context being: There are units in different stages of a certain journey, there the assumption that the units<80><99> behavior throw out the journey are similar is valid and there are not enough data to use traditional forecasting methods.
For a usage example see the package home page documentation.
