Bridging Data Frequencies for Timely Economic Forecasts

CRAN Package

Implements bridge models for nowcasting and forecasting macroeconomic variables by linking high-frequency indicator variables (e.g., monthly data) to low-frequency target variables (e.g., quarterly GDP). Simplifies forecasting and aggregating indicator variables to match the target frequency, enabling timely predictions ahead of official data releases.
