Salient Features
Outlier correction Median Method Expost Method Forecast accuracy measures supported in DP Mean absolute deviation (MAD), Error total (ET), Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), Mean square error (MSE), Square root of the mean squared error (RMSE) , Mean percentage error (MPE) R square, Adjusted R square, Durbin-h, Durbin-Watson, T-test , Mean elasticity Adaptive Modeling DP supports automatic selection of best forecast settings (model and parameters) using following techniques: Generate profile and assign it . Automatic adaptation of Seasonal, Trend, Linear factors Generate new profile on error Assign diagnostic group, and if the measure of error exceeds, systems assigns a profile Best-pick System evaluates user defined models for a run and saves the forecast based on the model that generated least error. User defined the cut-off and method for measuring error
