TL;DW Executive Summary
- Time series analysis and model limitations are generally misunderstood
- There tends to be a disconnect between the classroom and the office
- Analysis and decomposition is only useful if status quo persists
- There is no such thing as a "prediction" just an expectation if status quo
- Incorrect models can still be used to make optimal choices in uncertainty
- Composite models of exogenous factors can improve forecasts
I hope you enjoyed!
