One important implementation of Bayesian forecasting is the Multi-State Kalman Filter (MSKF) method. It is particularly suited for short and irregular time series data. In certain applications, time series data are available on numerous parallel observational units which, while not having...

Organizations in the private sector must do strategic planning over long-term horizons to locate new facilities, plan new products, develop competitive advantages, and so forth. Consequently, long-term forecasts of demand, costs of raw materials, etc. are important in the private sector. There...
