Description

Forecasting is a necessary input to planning, whether in business, government or the academy. Often, forecasts are generated subjectively and at great cost by group discussion, even when relatively simple quantitative methods can perform just as well or, at very least, provide an informed input to such discussions. The purpose of the workshop is to introduce participants to univariate forecasting methods and to provide a systematic development of the statistical models that underlie these methods. The discussions of the methods will be introduced and illustrated by computer-based analyses of a variety of series.
