UMP-45 | K.O. Factory (Field-Tested)
7-day forecast validation for the SMG category, 19 items (walk-forward, 47 folds)
| Model | Mean abs. error | vs. no change | Folds won | Range coverage (calibrated) | Interval score | Direction accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No change (baseline) | 0.0733 | baseline | — | 79.9% | 0.3922 | — |
| Average drift | 0.0740 | -1.0% | 16/47 | 79.6% | 0.4006 | 49.3% |
| AR(1) momentum/reversion | 0.0725 | +1.1% | 33/47 | 79.1% | 0.3914 | 54.9% |
No model beats “no change” significantly and consistently (best: AR(1) momentum/reversion, t=-2.41, 33/47 folds won). Errors are on log-price changes; significance is tested on per-date averages with Newey-West standard errors. Range widths are calibrated on earlier folds only; the closer coverage is to 80%, the more trustworthy the range. The interval score rewards ranges that are both narrow and right (lower is better).
