If there are important leading indicators or explanatory variables, use Forecast Pro XE to build causal models. You can include independent variables, lagged or transformed variables and build generalized Cochrane-Orcutt models. Self-interpreting diagnostics lead you quickly through the model building process. Event Models - Event models extend exponential smoothing by providing adjustments for events like promotions, strikes or other irregular occurrences. These can be promotions of different sizes or types, or the effects of moveable holidays like Easter and Rosh Hashanah.
Event models are easy to build and adaptable to a variety of situations.
There is no limitation on the number of levels. Seasonal and event indexes can be extracted from higher level aggregates and applied to lower level data. Expanded Batch Forecasting - Forecast Pro XE allows you to forecast up to 100 items in a single run. If you need to forecast hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of items you can do it with Forecast Pro Unlimited. You can adjust single points, ranges or totals, using percentages, increments or by simply entering new values.
