Abstract: Observed time series data can exhibit different components, such as trends, seasonality, and jumps, which are characterized by different coefficients in their respective data generating processes. Therefore, fitting a given time series model to aggregated data can be time consuming and may lead to a loss of forecasting accuracy. In this paper, coefficients for variable components in estimations are generated based on wavelet-based multiresolution analyses. Thus, the accuracy of forecasts based on aggregate data should be improved because the constraint of equality among the model coefficients for all data components is relaxed.
