На сегодняшний день существует множество вариантов построения весовых коэффициентов, и некоторые из них включают в объединение постоянный коэффициент из-за предположения о повышении с его помощью точности прогнозирования. При этом однозначного ответа на вопрос, насколько верна данная гипотеза, к сожалению, нет —  в ней присутствуют как положительные, так и отрицательные стороны.</p><p>Целью исследования является определение преимуществ и недостатков использования постоянного коэффициента при объединении прогнозов на основе имеющихся практических и теоретических данных, а также формирование единого подхода к данному вопросу. В ходе работы применялись научные методы объединения прогнозов (предложенные К. Гейнджером и Р. Раманатханом), один из которых предполагает наличие и расчет постоянного коэффициента.</p><p>Полученные автором статьи практические результаты в целом подтвердили ценность включения в объединенный прогноз постоянного коэффициента, на основании чего сделан вывод, что использование последнего возможно, если есть уверенность, что это может повысить точность прогнозирования. В рамках исследования также определена необходимость поиска такого подхода к построению весовых коэффициентов, который бы учитывал возможность изменения постоянного коэффициента для объединения прогнозов, тем самым расширяя возможности его применения.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article discusses the methodology for using a constant coefficient when combining forecasts. Today, there are many options for constructing weighting coefficients, and some of them include a constant coefficient in the combination due to the assumption that it improves forecasting accuracy. Unfortunately, there is no clear and unambiguous answer to the question of how true this hypothesis is — it has both positive and negative sides. The purpose of the study is to determine the advantages and disadvantages of using a constant coefficient when combining forecasts based on available practical and theoretical data, as well as to form a unified approach to this issue. In the course of the work, scientific methods for combining forecasts were applied (proposed by K. Granger and R. Ramanathan), one of which involves the presence and calculation of the constant coefficient. The practical results obtained by the author of the article have generally confirmed the value of including a constant coefficient in the combined forecast, on the basis of which it was concluded that the use of the latter is possible if there is confidence that it can improve the accuracy of forecasting. The study also identified the need to find such an approach to constructing weighting coefficients that would take into account the possibility of changing the constant coefficient for combining forecasts, thereby expanding the possibilities of its application. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>объединение прогнозов</kwd><kwd>прогнозирование</kwd><kwd>весовые коэффициенты</kwd><kwd>постоянный коэффициент</kwd><kwd>комбинированный прогноз</kwd><kwd>точность прогнозирования</kwd><kwd>качество прогноза</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>merging forecasts</kwd><kwd>forecasting</kwd><kwd>weighting coefficients</kwd><kwd>constant coefficient</kwd><kwd>combined forecast</kwd><kwd>forecasting accuracy</kwd><kwd>forecast quality</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Эскиндаров М.
