  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HIERARCHICAL FORECASTING
    Publication number: 20140114727
    Abstract: There is provided a computer-implemented method of generating a data forecasts for different levels of an entity. The method includes generating an aggregate forecast for an upper level entity comprised of two or more components. The method also includes determining mean values and a coefficient of variation for a probability distribution corresponding to future expected decomposition rates for each of the two or more components. A probability distribution parameter vector is computed based on the mean values and the coefficient of variation. The expected future decomposition rates for each of the two or more components may be computed based on the probability distribution parameter vector and a sample observation corresponding to previously observed decomposition values of each of the two or more components. Component forecasts corresponding to each of the two or more components may be computed based on the aggregate forecast and the expected future decomposition rates.
