  • Publication number: 20230325743
    Abstract: A method and system for a machine learning duster analysis of historical lead time data, which is augmented by one or more features. The data can also be divided into groups, based on time-density of the data, with clustering performed on each group. Furthermore, clustering can also be projected onto two dimensions. in addition, the historical lead time data is separated into a plurality of tolerance zones based on tolerance criteria. The clusters are separated in accordance with a tolerance zone of each group; and further separated according to one or more lead time identifiers to provide one or more separated clusters.

  • Publication number: 20210272027
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reconciling a forecast within a hierarchy, comprising a pre-processing module and a forecast reconciliation module. The pre-processing module reconstructs the structure of the hierarchy and captures the relationship between the nodes of the hierarchy in a summation matrix S. The forecast reconciliation matrix uses S, a weight matrix W (that reflects a weighting scheme between the nodes) and a base forecast to optimize the overall forecast error using a least squares procedure. The reconciled forecast has a zero consistency error.

  • Publication number: 20210117863
    Abstract: Methods and systems that provide machine learning interpretability. SHAP values of historical and predicted data, along with features of both, are used to provide a measure of the impact of training data points on a predictions. Removal of an individual training data point from a training data set, followed by comparing the resulting prediction with that obtained by the full training data set, also provides a measure of influence of individual training data points on forecasts.
