Claim One:
1. A system comprising: one or more processors; one or more computer-readable storage mediums containing instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to perform operations including: analyzing a distribution of time-stamped data to identify a plurality of potential time series data hierarchies for structuring the data, wherein a potential time series data hierarchy is a framework for structuring the data using multiple time series; performing an analysis of the potential time series data hierarchies, wherein performing the analysis of the potential time series data hierarchies includes determining an optimal time series frequency and a data sufficiency metric for each of the potential time series data hierarchies; selecting one of the potential time series data hierarchies based on a comparison of the data sufficiency metrics; deriving, in a single-read pass through the time-stamped data, multiple time series from the time-stamped data according to the selected time series data hierarchy, wherein a derived time series includes observations at intervals of time spaced in a manner commensurate with the optimal time series frequency determined for the selected time series data hierarchy; and generating a time series forecast corresponding to at least one of the derived time series.
