Documentation

Definition

With this option you can determine whether consecutive zero values at the beginning of the selected historical period are to be taken into account with forecasting.

Use

Activate this option if initial zero values are to be excluded from the forecasting calculation.

Dependencies

Example

You want to calculate forecast values for your product. The historical period is the last 24 months. Therefore, the time series for products that have only existed for a short time begins with a long sequence of zeros. Activate this option to prevent the forecast values being affected by this.
