-
See patterns in time series data
-
Make forecasts based on models
Let me give you a brief overview of the course
-
Section 1 – Introduction
In this section we will learn about the course structure
-
Section 2 – Basics of Forecasting
In this section, we will discuss about the basic of forecasting and we will also learn the easiest way to create simple linear regression model in Excel
-
Section 3 – Getting Data Ready for Regression Model
In this section you will learn what actions you need to take a step by step to get the data and then prepare it for the analysis these steps are very important.
We start with understanding the importance of business knowledge then we will see how to do data exploration. We learn how to do uni-variate analysis and bi-variate analysis then we cover topics like outlier treatment and missing value imputation.
-
Section 4 – Forecasting using Regression Model
This section starts with simple linear regression and then covers multiple linear regression.We have covered the basic theory behind each concept without getting too mathematical about it so that you understand where the concept is coming from and how it is important. But even if you don’t understand it, it will be okay as long as you learn how to run and interpret the result as taught in the practical lectures.
We also look at how to quantify models accuracy, what is the meaning of F statistic, how categorical variables in the independent variables dataset are interpreted in the results.
-
Section 5 – Handling Special events like Holiday sales
In this section we will learn how to incorporate effects of Day of Week Effect, Month Effect or any special event such Holidays, pay day etc.
-
Section 6 – Identifying Seasonality & Trend for Forecasting
In this section we will learn about trends and seasonality and how to use the Solver to develop an additive or multiplicative model to estimate trends and seasonality. We will also learn how to use moving averages to eliminate seasonality to easily see trends in sales.
-
Section 7 – Handling Changing Trend & Seasonality over time
In this section we will learn about Winter’s Method that changes trend and seasonal index estimates during each period has a better chance of keeping up with changes than other methods.
-
Section 8 – Forecasting models for New Products
In this section we will learn techniques to forecast new product sales. It is difficult to forecast when we have little or no historical data. The S curve can be used when we have little data and the famous bass diffusion modelcan be used to predict product sales even before the product is launched in the market.
Some of the examples in this course are from the book Marketing Analytics: Data-Driven Techniques with Microsoft Excel[Winston, Wayne L.]. We suggest this book as reading material for anyone aspiring to be a marketing analyst.
I am pretty confident that the course will give you the necessary knowledge and skills related to forecasting analytics, forecasting models and demand forecasting strategies; to immediately see practical benefits in your work place.
