Predictive Analytics with Forecasting Model Selection

摘要

Methods and apparatus for predicting network activity with forecasting model selection are disclosed. In one embodiment a network analytics forecasting model with a preferred model error measurement is selected from among a set of model error measurements for a set of network analytics forecasting models. The selecting includes, for each of a set of network analytics forecasting models, calculating a set of predicted network analytics metric values corresponding to individual ones of a set of actual network analytics metric values in a network analytics metrics data set, comparing individual ones of the set of predicted network analytics metric values to corresponding ones of the set of actual network analytics metric values, and generating a model error measurement reflecting the comparing. Future network analytics metric values are predicted using the network analytics forecasting model with the preferred model error measurement.
