  <dc:title>Forecasting Hierarchical Time Series Using Information
Combination</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package icomb version 0.2.0</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: TimeSeries (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=TimeSeries)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Implements the Information Combination (IComb) approach proposed by Nguyen, 
      Vahid and Wickramasuriya (2025)&lt;https://www.monash.edu/business/ebs/research/publications/ebs/2025/wp11-2025.pdf&gt; for hierarchical forecast reconciliation. The method
      combines information from base forecasts constructed using different information
      sets while ensuring coherence. It is implemented using a penalized regression-based
      framework.</dc:description>
