RETAIL FORECASTING USING PARAMETER ESTIMATION

摘要

A system generates a parameter estimation of a plurality of variables. The system receives input data that includes user acceptance criteria and user objectives. The system encodes the input data into a matrix and transforms the input data using a dual linear program. The system then solves the dual linear program using a dual simplex method with boxed variables, and recovers parameter values for the parameter estimation. The parameter estimation may be used to provide retail forecasting.
