Comparing Prophet and Deep Learning to ARIMA in Forecasting Wholesale Food Prices

Abstract: Setting sale prices correctly is of great importance for firms, and the study and forecast of prices time series is therefore a relevant topic not only from a data science perspective but also from an economic and applicative one. In this paper, we examine different techniques to forecast sale prices applied by an Italian food wholesaler, as a step towards the automation of pricing tasks usually taken care by human workforce. We consider ARIMA models and compare them to Prophet, a scalable forecasting tool by … Show more

“…Although the combination of CNN and LSTM methods produced the best cross-validation results, it was discovered they were computationally intensive to fit. Similar to previous work 43 , we found that Prophet was the most time-efficient and had comparable cross-validation scores as compared to STL + ARIMA. In the withheld testing sample, Prophet also outperformed both.…”

“…This method is built on two basic characteristics of past values and errors. Furthermore, the method utilizes historical data to determine the performance of the model by using estimated errors (Menculini et al 2021). Physics-based methodologies are based on the physical models that define and represent the behavior of the variables providing more reliable predictions for the future trend of the model.…”
