  • Forecasting (OECD - Data and Metadata Reporting)

Definition: Forecasting

OECD - Data and Metadata Reporting

"Forecasting" and "prediction" are often used synonymously in the customary sense of assessing the magnitude which a quantity will assume at some future point of time: as distinct from "estimation" which attempts to assess the magnitude of an already existent quantity.
