SAS/Foresight Q4 webinar: Avoidability of Forecast Error

0

In this quarter's installment of the SAS/Foresight Webinar Series, Steve Morlidge will discuss his promising new approach to evaluating the "Avoidability of Forecast Error." Based on his article in the Summer 2013 issue of Foresight, and examined in a four-part series on The BFD blog (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4), Morlidge attempts to answer the common question, "What is the best forecast accuracy I can reasonably expect to achieve?"
