SAS Visual Analytics - Forecasting

[andreas_zaras]

Hello!

In SAS Visual Forecasting - Model Studio can you do scenario analysis like in Forecast Server?

In SAS VA in the forecasting object can you save the forecasted obeservations in a data set? If yes how?

Thanks in advance,

Andreas

Hello!

I found how to save the forecasts in SAS VA so this is ok.

If the scenario analysis in SAS Visual FOrecasting is not implemented then i assume that the instruction is to do it thorough SAS VA, right?

Though in SAS FOrecast Server when a scenario analysis was performed it could be disseminated into the hierarchy through reconciliation processes. Now i guess this cannot be done. 

Thanks in advance,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Scenario analysis is not yet available in the Visual Forecasting application.

Hello!

Thanks for your answer!

One more question: In SAS Visual FOrecasting can you see the parameters of the optimal model like you did in Forecast Studio?

If yes, how?

Thanks in advance,

Andreas

Hi,

There is a way you can download a VF modeling strategy and make modifications to it. In that way, you can stop cleaning up some of the results generated while running modeling strategies. You can begin by downloading the "Hierarchical Forecasting (Pluggable)" modeling template from the exchange for a quick start.

You can also refer to a link "https://www.sas.com/content/dam/SAS/support/en/sas-global-forum-proceedings/2019/3258-2019.pdf" for help with understanding the contents of a Visual Forecasting modeling strategy. The example mentions creating a GB model for generating forecasts. But you can relate some of the concepts explained to understand the content when you download a modeling strategy.

Best Regards,
