Course details
Time Series Decomposition: This unit covers the fundamental concept of time series decomposition, which is essential for demand forecasting in retail. It involves breaking down time series data into its trend, seasonal, and residual components to better understand the underlying patterns. •
ARIMA and SARIMA: This unit delves into the world of autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) models, which are widely used for demand forecasting in retail. These models are particularly useful for handling seasonal and trend patterns in time series data. •
Machine Learning for Demand Forecasting: This unit explores the application of machine learning algorithms, such as regression, decision trees, and neural networks, for demand forecasting in retail. It covers the primary keyword of machine learning and secondary keywords like regression and decision trees. •
Feature Engineering for Demand Forecasting: This unit focuses on the importance of feature engineering in demand forecasting. It covers techniques such as data preprocessing, feature selection, and dimensionality reduction to extract relevant features from time series data. •
Ensemble Methods for Demand Forecasting: This unit introduces ensemble methods, which combine the predictions of multiple models to improve the accuracy of demand forecasting in retail. It covers secondary keywords like ensemble methods and model combination. •
Deep Learning for Demand Forecasting: This unit explores the application of deep learning techniques, such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, for demand forecasting in retail. It covers the primary keyword of deep learning and secondary keywords like RNNs and LSTM networks. •
Hyperparameter Tuning for Demand Forecasting: This unit covers the importance of hyperparameter tuning in demand forecasting. It introduces techniques such as grid search, random search, and Bayesian optimization to optimize model hyperparameters and improve forecast accuracy. •
Demand Forecasting for New Products: This unit focuses on the challenges of demand forecasting for new products in retail. It covers techniques such as time series analysis, machine learning, and statistical modeling to forecast demand for new products. •
Demand Forecasting for Seasonal Products: This unit explores the challenges of demand forecasting for seasonal products in retail. It covers techniques such as seasonal decomposition, ARIMA, and SARIMA to forecast demand for seasonal products. •
Demand Forecasting for Online Retail: This unit introduces the unique challenges of demand forecasting in online retail. It covers techniques such as web scraping, social media analysis, and clickstream analysis to forecast demand for online retail products.
