Hi, I have been wondering about the same question and glad found some discussions here. For me the motivation is to see if the forecast figures generated among the "top ranking models" from forecast studio makes sense, i.e. they shouldn't be too far off by either too optimistic or too pessimistic. Because to me when the MAPE is very similar, it makes sense to compare models from a non-statistical perspective. Hence it is of interest to actually have for instance the forecasts generated from top 5 models automatically generated instead of manually clicking and validating each time and waiting for the server to run. As far as I understood the forecast studio has SAS code behind, but I couldn't seem to find the part where I set another model, such as my customize model as the final forecasting model. And then there's the same question if I can have a list of the models for each series ranked by their fitting criteria such as in-sample MAPE.
