Course details
•
Time Series Decomposition: This unit focuses on breaking down time series data into its component parts, including trends, seasonality, and residuals, to improve forecasting accuracy. •
Exponential Smoothing (ES): A popular forecasting method that uses weighted averages of past observations to forecast future values, with a focus on reducing forecast errors. •
ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average) Modeling: A statistical model that combines autoregressive, differencing, and moving average components to forecast future values and account for seasonality and trends. •
Machine Learning for Demand Forecasting: This unit introduces machine learning techniques, such as regression, classification, and clustering, to improve demand forecasting accuracy and handle complex data patterns. •
Seasonal Decomposition using STL: A method that decomposes time series data into trend, seasonal, and residual components, providing insights into the underlying patterns and drivers of demand. •
Forecasting with LSTM Networks: A deep learning approach that uses long short-term memory (LSTM) networks to forecast future values by learning patterns in historical data. •
Ensemble Methods for Demand Forecasting: This unit explores the use of ensemble methods, such as bagging and boosting, to combine the predictions of multiple models and improve overall forecasting accuracy. •
Hyperparameter Tuning for Demand Forecasting: A unit that focuses on optimizing model hyperparameters to improve forecasting accuracy, using techniques such as grid search, random search, and Bayesian optimization. •
Retail Demand Forecasting with Big Data: This unit introduces the use of big data and advanced analytics to drive demand forecasting, including data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model deployment. •
Case Studies in Retail Demand Forecasting: A practical unit that applies the concepts and techniques learned throughout the course to real-world retail demand forecasting scenarios, providing insights into best practices and challenges.
