Course Details
• Advanced Regression Analysis: Exploring various regression techniques such as multiple linear regression, logistic regression, and polynomial regression, emphasizing their application in demand forecasting.
• Time Series Analysis: Examining autoregressive (AR), moving average (MA), and autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models, with a focus on seasonal decomposition and exponential smoothing techniques.
• Advanced Exponential Smoothing Methods: Delving into Holt-Winters, triple exponential smoothing (TES), and other seasonal models, as well as state-space models.
• Machine Learning Techniques for Demand Forecasting: Applying artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machines (SVMs), and ensemble methods like random forests and gradient boosting machines (GBMs) for advanced demand forecasting.
• Introduction to ARIMA and SARIMA Models: Understanding the Box-Jenkins approach, differencing, and seasonal differencing, as well as applying SARIMA models to seasonal data.
• Prophet and Theta Models: Exploring forecasting techniques based on decomposable time series models, which allow for easy incorporation of trend, seasonality, and holidays.
• Model Validation and Selection: Examining techniques for model validation, including cross-validation, and comparing model performance using metrics like MAPE, MAE, and RMSE.
• Forecasting for New Products and Short Lifecycle Products: Applying alternative methods when historical data is limited, such as analogous products, expert opinions, and conjunctive Bayesian methods.
• Forecasting in the Presence of Outliers and Level Shifts: Learning techniques to address unusual data points and structural changes, including robust regression, spline functions, and dynamic regression.
