Humans-in-the-loop forecasting: integrating data science and business planning

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

This classification is based on the purpose, horizon, update frequency and uncertainty of the forecast. Nor can we learn prediction intervals across a large set of parallel time series, since we are trying to generate intervals for a single global time series. These characteristics of the problem drive the forecasting approaches.

Using random effects models in prediction problems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Finally, through a case study of a real-world prediction problem, we also argue that Random Effect models should be considered alongside penalized GLM's even for pure prediction problems. Random effects models are a useful tool for both exploratory analyses and prediction problems. bandit problems).

Predicting Movie Profitability and Risk at the Pre-production Phase

Insight

The values 500 and N /2 are somewhat arbitrary but were chosen in order to obtain a smooth distribution of ROI values and to balance the desire for sufficient variability in the predictions with the need to maintain a large enough training set for each model. A schematic diagram of my modeling process is shown below.
