Abstract: A computer-implemented method for prescriptive time-series forecasting, which combines both what-if analysis and goal-seeking analysis. The method comprises building a model for a target metric with a set of predictors, based on historical time-series data, and computing, using the model, a set of forecast values. Using the set of forecast values with respect to a forecasting period, both a set of goals for the target metric and a set of constraints for the predictors are analyzed. A set of updated forecasts based on the analyses with respect to the forecasting period is determined to meet the goals within the set of constraints. The updated set of forecasts is presented with respect to the forecasting period, e.g., using a table, a visualization, and/or an interactive user interface.

Abstract: In the embodiments disclosed herein, an approach based on a mask function M is disclosed. This approach meets the requirement of the Hopkins model and at the same time incorporates the incident angle effects of a given partially coherent illumination. The new mask function M is referred to as a partially coherent mask function (PCMF). In the embodiments disclosed herein, the incident angle effects of individual source points of a given partially coherent illumination are removed from the mask function M and incorporated into a source function G.

Therefore, the Hopkins model can be used with partially coherent mask function M and at the same time capture the incident angle effects.
