About this title

From the Author

Forecasting with Parameters Statistical forecasting is one of the major approaches to creating forecasts across many different fields. Statistical forecasting has proven unmatched in the ability to cost effectively create very large numbers of items, and the statistical forecast is often the first forecast which is created - although manual adjustments may follow. However, in many statistical forecasting systems it is necessary to understand the parameters, which control the forecasting model, and to tune it for the specific items to which it applied. This book not only explains the statistical forecast parameters (dividing them into three parameter categories), but also shows many examples of parameters and how the parameters affect the different forecasting examples.
