Some articles report on academic research, or include case studies, but most are thoughtful discussion of important business forecasting topics, such as the role of the sales force in forecasting, or the value of judgmental overrides to a statistical forecast, or how to determine what forecast error is "avoidable." Articles were chosen for their importance, influence, informativeness, and for being provocative -- leading the reader to new considerations and ideas"Wiley and SAS business series.Business forecastingArtificial intelligenceMachine learningElectronic books.Business forecasting.Artificial intelligence.Machine learning.658.40355Tashman Len1942-Sglavo Udo1968-Gilliland MichaelMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910554874103321Business forecasting2020035UNINA
