Statistical forecasting
Statistical forecasting is a method of predicting future values based on the analysis of historical data and statistical models. It uses patterns identified in time series (trends, seasonality, cyclical fluctuations) to estimate probable outcomes and construct forecasts, which are often accompanied by confidence intervals indicating the degree of confidence in the outcome.
