Generating accurate forecasts is difficult because it depends on the quality of the data available to train predictive models, as well as on the model chosen for the task. We evaluate the approach on two datasets of varying complexity and compare the results with three machine learning algorithms, Results show our approach can outperform these approaches.}, url = {http://www.meneguzzi.eu/felipe/pubs/flairs-demand-forecasting-2017.pdf} }
