Machine Learning for Financial Forecasting, Planning and Analysis: Recent Developments and Pitfalls
财务预测、规划与分析中的机器学习:近期进展与陷阱
This article is an introduction to machine learning for financial forecasting, planning and analysis (FP\&A). Machine learning appears well suited to support FP\&A with the highly automated extraction of information from large amounts of data. However, because most traditional machine learning techniques focus on forecasting (prediction), we discuss the particular care that must be taken to avoid the pitfalls of using them for planning and resource allocation (causal…
