The aim of this white paper
The aim of this white paper is to try and evaluate different forecasting strategies to create a predictive model.
To evaluate the predictive model, we will predict values for an existing period and compare the forecasted values with the actuals for this period. When the forecasted results are satisfying, we can use our model to forecast the future years and months.
