Documentation

Definition

Indicator which specifies that the system should initialize a forecast model. The system also calculates the parameters that are needed for the model (such as basic value, trend value, and seasonal indices).

Supplementary Documentation - KZINI 0001

Use

This will be the case, for example,

  • in the initial forecast
  • when there are structural changes in the time series

Dependencies

The system needs a set number of historical values in order to be able to carry out the initialization, and these depend on the chosen forecast model.
