Replications

This track shows end-to-end examples of running a research-grade macroforecast study from raw FRED data through bit-exact replicable manifest. Three layers:

1. Bundled example walkthroughs – detailed walk through one of examples/recipes/*.yaml, explaining every layer choice and the resulting artifact tree.

2. Bundled paper baselines – a published paper’s ridge / model horse-race ported to macroforecast schema. Recipe ships in the repo, runs end-to-end, replicates bit-exact. The user swaps the bundled smoke panel for real FRED data when reproducing the paper’s figures.

3. Research replications – four studies the project maintainer conducted with macroforecast. Each replication includes the exact recipe YAML, command line, expected artifacts, and pointers back to the published paper / preprint.

Use these as a template when you want to write your own publication-grade replication study.
