Abstract:This research investigated a retail sales forecasting problem based on early sales. An effective multivariate intelligent decision-making (MID) model is developed to handle this problem by integrating a data preparation and preprocessing module, a harmony search-wrapper-based variable selection (HWVS) module and a multivariate intelligent forecaster (MIF) module. The HWVS module selects out the optimal input variable subset from given candidate inputs as the inputs of MIF. The MIF is proposed to model the rela… Show more
