Enabling Statistical Forecasting
-
From the menu, select Datasets > Properties
.
- On Dataset Properties, select the Forecast tab.
- To enable Forecast Calculation , select DMP Forecast Calculation.
- On the Calculation Measures tab, select the Data Type for Demand and for Calculated Forecast.
-
On the Forecast
Time Points tab, specify this information:
Note: Each forecast method enables you to add an offset to the calculation initialization, start, and end points.
- Algorithm fit initialization (init point)
- Select whether to use Time mark or Period
and then specify a value from the list.
The value specified in this field is used to indicate the start of the memory forecast calculation in the application.
- Algorithm fit write
- Select whether to use Time mark or Period
and then specify a value from the list.
The value specified in this field is used to indicate the start period of the results that are recorded in the database.
- Forecast point
- Select whether to use Time mark or Period
and then specify a value from the list.
The value specified in this field is used to indicate the end period of the forecast calculation and then proceeds to the extrapolation of the forecast.
Note: The end point is usually the first period after a valid demand data (statistics). Each forecast method defines the period extrapolated after the period specified in Forecast point.The Algorithm fit write and Forecast point refer to the same point in the case of a continuous forecast process. The forecast calculation for a period is generated and applied to future periods, depending on the number of extrapolation periods defined in the forecast method or until the end of the views model.
