posted on 2023-06-08, 12:00 authored by Ibrahim Zafar Qureshi, Marv Khammash, K NikolopoulosIn this study we model the effect of promotions in time-series data and we consequently forecast that extraordinary effect via Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as implemented from the Expert Method of a popular Artificial Intelligence software. We simulate data considering five factors as to determine the actual impact of each individual promotion. We consider additive and multiplicative models, with the later presenting both linear and non-linear relationships between those five factors; in addition, we superimpose either low or high levels of noise. Our empirical findings suggest that, for nonlinear models with high level of noise, ANN outperform all benchmarks. Standard ANN topologies work well for models with up to two factors while the Expert method provided by the software works well for higher number of factors.
