Neural Network and Time Series as Tools for Sales Forecasting
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the use of times series AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average ARIMA(p,d,q) model with interventions, and neural network back-propagation model in analyzing the behavior of sales in a medium size enterprise located in Rio Grande do Sul Brazil for the period January 1984 – December 2000. The forecasts obtained using the neural network back-propagation model were found to be more accurate than those of ARIMA model with interventions.

The sales proceeds are the most important factors for keeping alive profitable companies. So sales and budget sales are considered as important parameters influencing all other decision variables in an organization. Therefore, poor forecasting can lead to great loses in organization caused by inaccurate and non-comprehensive production and human resource planning. In this research a coherent so...
متن کاملWhich Methodology is Better for Combining Linear and Nonlinear Models for Time Series Forecasting?
Both theoretical and empirical findings have suggested that combining different models can be an effective way to improve the predictive performance of each individual model. It is especially occurred when the models in the ensemble are quite different. Hybrid techniques that decompose a time series into its linear and nonlinear components are one of the most important kinds of the hybrid model...

متن کاملVehicle's velocity time series prediction using neural network
This paper presents the prediction of vehicle's velocity time series using neural networks. For this purpose, driving data is firstly collected in real world traffic conditions in the city of Tehran using advance vehicle location devices installed on private cars. A multi-layer perceptron network is then designed for driving time series forecasting. In addition, the results of this study are co...
