Forecasting

Forecasting approaches are used to predict future values of certain variables such as market demands, prices, supplies, weather temperatures, economic factors, social factors, medica related factors, population, productivity, quality, and reliability of systems. While it is almost impossible to determine the exact future values of a given variable, it is possible to estimate its value with some level of precision using a proper forecasting method.
