Talk:Calculating demand forecast accuracy

message: This page should be deleted as measures of forecast accuracy, not limited to demand forecasting, are provided (in common notation) under Forecast - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forecast. Also, MAPE is not considered the primary demand forecasting error by statisticians and/or practitioners, MAE (MAD) is the primary measure, see Sanders, N. R. (1997). Measuring forecast accuracy: Some practical suggestions. Production and Inventory Management Journal, 38(1), 43-46 and Makridakis, S., Wheelwright, S. C., & Hyndman, R. J. (1998).

message: There has been considerable confusion on the issue of forecast accuracy.  While academics use MAD and MAPE, there is little practical relevance the way MAPE is used by academics in the industry.  The discussion on this page is perhaps one of a few on the web that brings to light the criticisms leveled against the use of MAPE as aruged by the academics.  
While the industry practitioners have seen the rise of the discipline of demand planning, there is little recognition of this discipline among academic forecasters.  The wiki should have a fair discussion of both the academic as well as the real world concepts. Markchockal 17:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Measuring the forecast accuracy or the forecast error is the two sides of the same coin. The page Calculating demand forecast accuracy should probably be merged into Forecast error. The present page is a bit more focused on demand forecasts (a sub-category of forecasts), but considering the extend of demand-specific materials available here (about none), I see no reason to have a separate page.--Joannes Vermorel (talk) 15:17, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

message: We should add a summary of the seven's educational qualifications. I just discovered an interesting fact about two of them: despite the requirement of a "bachelor's degree or equivalent", two of them, Glenn and Carpenter, did not technically meet all the requirements of their schools, and therefore did not actually receive their degrees until 1962 after each had made his Mercury flight. Shepard actually exceeded the requirement, having earned a Master's degree in 1957. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:51, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

message: (and whoever else is interested) - I am starting a list of improvements that should be done to this article prior to GA. With it being the lead article in the topic, it would be nice if we could take it to featured.
*Revise the captions, some too long
*Verify image licensing
*Write about Mercury 7 Memorial (and any related types of memorials)
*Add additional awards/honors as necessary
*A bit more about their educational background, per your point above, perhaps with more demographic information.
*Create a background section
*Maybe some sort of cultural impact section, or at least a section related to the 'hero' status, the 'do no wrong' the astronauts had (that was later revealed to be not-so-true.
*:Also their impact on later selections and missions
*:I guess we probably need to say a bit more about The Right Stff
*Failed candidates of the 1959 selection process.

thread_title:  Scott Brown 

message: Several editors have added Cyndi Zagieboylo to the notable alumni list.  She does not have a biography article in this Wikipedia.  Many editors feel that before adding a name to the list someone should write the article first.   I feel that for people, not presumed to be notable and lacking an article, sufficient references should be provided to clearly demonstrate that a notability criteria is met. Editors who can provide that could also simply create a stub article for the person.  Citing an independent source confirming attendance at the school is also needed. 
Two references have been provided:
#
#
The first reference provides a short profile of Zagieboylo. It is clearly not independent  - being on a webpage of the organization she is CEO of.  The second reference is a longer profile on the webpage of an organization that works closely with the National MS Society. While slightly more independent it is published by an organization that has an interest in promoting Zagieboylo. It does not appear to be a product of independent journalism. Rather it appears to be a promotional bio likely developed by or for  Zagieboylo.  Nearly the same wording can be found at American Entertainment (AAE), a talent booking agency. These references are not convincing of notability. Neither confirms that she attended this school. I have found sources that say she attended but they are not independent reliable sources.
I'll again remove her name from the list. While I think the best approach is to write her biography article before re-adding her I could be convinced it belongs if editors can identify multiple independent reliable sources containing significant coverage. I have found some interviews of Zagieboylo but those are generally not very helpful to notability.
