Title: TFRBench: A Reasoning Benchmark for Evaluating Forecasting Systems

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.05364v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce TFRBench, the first benchmark designed to evaluate the reasoning capabilities of forecasting systems. Traditionally, time-series forecasting has been evaluated solely on numerical accuracy, treating foundation models as ``black boxes.'' Unlike existing benchmarks, TFRBench provides a protocol for evaluating the reasoning generated by forecasting systems--specifically their analysis of cross-channel dependencies, trends, and external ev
