As deep learning develops, the major research methodologies of time series forecasting can be divided into two categories, i.e., iterative and direct methods. In the iterative methods, since a small amount of error is produced at each time step, the recursive structure can potentially lead to large error accumulations over longer forecasting horizons. Although the direct methods can avoid this puzzle involved in the iterative methods, they face abuse of conditional independence among time points. This impractical assumption can also lead to biased models. To solve these challenges, we propose a direct approach for multi-horizon probabilistic forecasting, which can effectively characterize the dependence across future horizons. Specifically, we consider the multi-horizon target as a random vector. The direction of the vector embodies the temporal dependence, and the length of the vector measures the overall scale across each horizon. Therefore, we respectively apply the von Mises-Fisher (VMF) distribution and the truncated normal distribution to characterize the target vector’s angle and magnitude in our model. Extensive results demonstrate the superiority of our framework over eight state-of-the-art methods.
