Nowcasts for dates close to the present vs. further in the past?
This is how I have been thinking about it. I also like this approach or really the horizon approach more generally as it allows a seamless transition between forecasting and nowcasting which seems important.
Something to keep in mind here is that we might also combine nowcasting and forecasting in one tool/model (see e.g. Forecasting in epinowcast), so it becomes even more important to have a consistent and maximally inuitive terminology.
Ha yes exactly.
I think you are right and there isn’t consistent terminology for this. Perhaps we should talk about this at the next meeting (which is in a few weeks?).
