What is time-series forecasting?

Time-series forecasting (TSF) is a collection of methods used to predict future outcomes based upon historical values. These historic values, often referred to as a "time-series" data, are spaced equally over time and can represent anything from monthly sales data to daily electricity consumption to hourly call volumes.

What if your time-series data is dependent on outside influences?

If your time-series data are dependent on outside influences such as prices or regular sales promotions, CB Predictor can perform iterative linear regression to build the most accurate predictive model. This advanced method automatically determines the relationships between independent and dependent variables in your data and uses those relationships to create the best forecast.
