A possible alternative is to identify and form an efficient model generating a set of iid residuals. Generate a forecast using the model and then use the distribution of residuals as the basis of the montecarlo creating limits that are not presumptively based upon a distributional assumption. Use this empirical dostributiondistribution to offset the expected value. This method allows the identification and incorporation of possible unusual pulses and the option to incorporate (allow for ) futurepredicted pulses into the forcastforecast distribution. This is the suggested approach of Prpf. Sam Savage as an extension to his book "The Flaw of Averages".
