Description:

Provides tools for implementing bridge models, which are used to nowcast

and forecast macroeconomic variables by linking high-frequency indicator

variables (e.g., monthly data) to low-frequency target variables (e.g., quarterly GDP).

Forecasting and aggregation of the indicator variables to match the target frequency are simplified,

enabling timely predictions before official data releases are available.

For more information about bridge models, see
