  • Time-Series Forecasting Methods: A Review

    Abstract: Time-series forecasting techniques are of fundamental importance for predicting future values by analyzing past trends. The techniques assume that future trends will be similar to historical trends. Forecasting involves using models fit on historical data to predict future values. Time-series models have wide-ranging applications, from weather forecasting to sales forecasting, and are among the most effective methods of forecasting, especially when making decisions that involve uncertainty about the future. To evaluate forecast accuracy and to compare among models fitted to a time series, three performance measures were used in this study: mean absolute error (MAE), mean square error (MSE), and root-mean-square error (RMSE).
