Abstract
In this comment, I consider the issue of serial dependence in the Probability Integral Transforms that arises when performing multi-step ahead forecasts. I provide a simple technique for correcting the autocorrelation that relies on fitting a Moving Average under correct specification. I show via simulation and empirically that this technique appears reliable.
