End-to-end probabilistic hierarchical forecasting of large hierarchies via probabilistic top-down
通过概率自上而下方法实现大型层级的端到端概率预测
Retail and supply chain operations rely on demand forecasts to drive decisions, from replenishment at the product level to capacity planning at the store level. These forecasts should be probabilistic, to allow risk-aware decisions, and coherent across the aggregation hierarchy, so that decisions taken at different levels are not based on conflicting demand forecasts. Producing such forecasts is computationally demanding; at retail scale, with hierarchies of hundreds of…
