Difference between "in-sample" and "pseudo out-of-sample" forecasts
Is there an explicit difference between in-sample forecasts and pseudo out-of-sample forecasts. Both is meant in the context of evaluating and comparing forecasting models.

What is the difference between in sample error and training error, and intuition of optimism?
In the book Elements of Statistical Learning in Chapter 7 (page 228), the training error is defined as:
$$
\overline{err} = \frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{N}{L(y_i,\hat{f}(x_i))}
$$
Whereas in-sample error is defined as
$$
Err_{in} =…

In practice, do we distinguish between "in-sample" and "training" error?
In Elements of Statistical Learning, it distinguishes between "in-sample" and "training" error (Frankly, I found the chapter on errors to be very confusing, especially with how they use the different error terminology). Also see the question asked…

Out of Sample and In Sample testing
I am very confused in testing regressions and know that there are many explanations available online, but I am still not getting anything it in my mind.
Suppose I have daily data for past 100 days, I run a simple linear regression estimate the…

What is the posterior in-sample vs the posterior out-of-sample?
I'm watching this video on Bayesian modelling for the stock market by Thomas Wiecki, Thomas has a slide with two posterior distribution over the mean parameter in his stock return model. Around 18:26 we see this slide:
The phrase “in-sample” and…

in-sample data vs out-of-sample data
I know that a train-validation-test splits the data into:
a training dataset - obviously my "in-sample" data
a validation dataset
a test data set - obviously my "out-of-sample" data
My question is: Should I refer to the validation dataset as…

In which scenarios are the in-sample error and training error NOT the same?
In Elements of Statistical Learning, Chapter 7 (pages 228-229), the authors define the optimism of the training error rate as:
$$
op\equiv Err_{in}-\overline{err}
$$
With the training error $\overline{err}$ defined as:
$$
\overline{err} =…

Optimism bias - alternative references
In Hastie & al's book Elements of Statistical Learning, there are two subsections covering insample prediction errors and optimism bias (section 7, p.228-230).
Hastie & al explain that defining the insample prediction error as
(1),
we can take the…

what does it mean when out of sample AUC is greater than in sample AUC?
I am fitting a logistic regression model on a data set with about 200,000 observation and 100 features. According to SAS output, the model converged correctly with an in-sample AUC of 0.85. However, when I applied the model on a few out of sample…

In-Sample and Out-of-sample forecasting accuracy
I am currently doing my college final project. I forecasted national soybeans yield and used MAPE to calculate the in-sample and out-of-sample forecasting accuracy. The MAPE results showed that the in-sample forecasting accuracy is higher than the…

How does GARCH compute the realized daily volatility to be compared to the output of the model, to compute in-sample MSE?
How do GARCH and GJR-GARCH models (as implemented in rugarch or in EViews) calculate the in-sample MSE if they use the time series of daily returns as the input and don't use a time series of daily variances: How do these models compute the realized…

Can you compare in-sample vs. out-of-sample using a MSPE?
Is it possible to compare in-sample and out-of-sample forecasts by calculating a MSPE for each? For example, my in sample period is say 12/1987-12/2015, and my out-of-sample forecasting period is 12/1993-12/2015 (I use an expanding window to…
