New research suggests adaptive model selection for forecasting inconsistent demand

A new research paper explores the challenge of selecting the most effective forecasting model when demand patterns are inconsistent. The study proposes that the model selection mechanism itself should adapt to specific conditions, rather than relying on a universal approach. Researchers compared five selection mechanisms across various datasets and forecasting horizons, finding that no single method consistently outperformed others. Instead, certain mechanisms proved more suitable for specific demand types like 'Smooth' or 'Erratic', while others performed better in 'Intermittent' and 'Lumpy' settings, indicating a context-dependent strategy is necessary.
