title: 'nowcast: Economic Nowcasting with Bridge Equations and Real-Time Evaluation'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.nowcast
abstract: Provides bridge equations with optional autoregressive terms for nowcasting
  low-frequency macroeconomic variables (e.g. quarterly GDP) from higher-frequency
  indicators (e.g. monthly retail sales). Handles the ragged-edge problem where different
  indicators have different publication lags via mixed-frequency alignment. Includes
  pseudo-real-time evaluation with expanding or rolling windows, and the Diebold-Mariano
  test for comparing forecast accuracy following Harvey, Leybourne, and Newbold (1997)
