By default, Forecast Pro will
use expert selection, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine, to automatically
select the appropriate forecasting method. In this case, the item will not have
a forecasting modifier. If an item on the Navigator does have a modifier that
specifies a statistical model to be used instead of Expert Selection, when you click
the Expert Selection icon on the Forecasting tab or select Forecasting>Expert
Selection on the Navigator’s context menu, the forecasting modifier(s)
will be removed, and Forecast Pro will use expert selection to automatically select
the appropriate forecasting method.
On The Performance Tab
of the Options dialog, you can specify methodologies that expert selection
should not consider. These methodologies include: ARIMA, (Box-Jenkins),
seasonal simplification, the NA-CL model and machine learning.
