"Fundamental Forecasts: Methods and Timing" by Vinesh Jha, CEO of ExtractAlphaQuantopian
From QuantCon 2017:
Fundamental and quantitative stock selection research has long focused on creating accurate forecasts of company fundamentals such as earnings and revenues. In this talk we examine why fundamental forecasts are powerful and survey some classic methods for generating these forecasts. Next we explore some newer methodologies which can be effective in generating more accurate fundamental forecasts, including new uses of traditional data as well as novel crowdsourced and online behavior databases. Finally, we present new research examining the temporal variation in efficacy of these forecasts with an eye towards understanding the market conditions in which an accurate fundamental forecast can be more or less profitable.
The document discusses various quantitative forecasting techniques including time series methods like moving averages and exponential smoothing. It provides examples of how to calculate 3-period moving averages and exponential smoothing forecasts using sample sales data. Exponential smoothing places more weight on recent observations compared to moving averages. The smoothing constant determines how quickly older data is discounted.

Principles of Modern Marketing at NetSuite - Rob Israch (TOPO Demand Generati...TOPO
1) The document discusses principles of a modern marketing team at NetSuite, a cloud ERP software company. It outlines how NetSuite marketing focuses on sales-marketing alignment, a science-based approach, intent-based marketing, speed and agility.
2) Key aspects of NetSuite's marketing include generating over 50% of new sales leads, optimizing programs based on ROI data, focusing efforts on top performing channels, and identifying new growth opportunities from analytics.
3) The marketing team operates with speed and agility, constantly testing, optimizing, and changing course based on data, with a focus on repeatable and scalable processes.
This document provides an overview of a week-long marketing analytics training program led by Stephan Sorger. The agenda covers defining problems, selecting team members, preparing data and technology, executing analyses, and presenting results. On Monday, participants will define problems and build business cases. On Tuesday, they will select core and extended team members needed for the project. On Wednesday, they will prepare the necessary technology and data. The training aims to complete a full marketing analytics project within a week to satisfy demands for quick results.
The document discusses forecasting challenges for new products and sudden rapid growth. It notes a lack of historical data and limited forecasting capabilities can make these forecasts difficult. It provides several recommendations for improving forecasts, including adjusting historical data to generate the desired forecast, overriding forecasts by copying similar products and adjusting volumes, and turning off automatic forecasting to allow manual forecasts. Additional tips include avoiding bias from budgets, admitting and learning from forecast errors, and ensuring accurate and up-to-date data. Understanding market structure, dynamics, and maturity is also important for anticipating challenges.
The document discusses various forecasting techniques including qualitative and quantitative methods. It describes exponential smoothing, which weights recent data more heavily than older data. An example shows how to use exponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of 0.1 to forecast quarterly port cargo volumes over 8 quarters. The forecast for the 9th quarter is calculated as 178.02 based on the previous actual and forecast values.

Visuals present better and quicker insights when forecasting sales. At a glance business strategies can be planned - time periods, geographic locations, pick variables that can highlight what works or doesn't, where it scores or doesn't, join two or more variables that work in specific geographical locations or don't, etc. All this put together makes data virtualization a very nifty tool to project what can make or break your predictions for sales!
IRJET - Stock Recommendation System using Machine Learning ApproacheIRJET Journal
This document proposes a stock recommendation system using machine learning approaches. It uses five machine learning algorithms (linear regression, random forest, ridge regression, stepwise regression, and gradient boosted regression) to predict stock returns based on 20 financial factors. The system selects the top 200 stocks in each sector quarterly based on the model with the lowest mean squared error on past data. It then backtests portfolio strategies using the recommended stocks to demonstrate the system outperforms the S&P 500 index in terms of risk-adjusted returns. The key steps are data preprocessing, model training/selection, stock ranking/selection, and backtesting portfolio strategies.
The document discusses forecasting techniques. It outlines the learning objectives which include listing elements of a good forecast, describing qualitative and quantitative forecasting approaches, and explaining measures of forecast accuracy. The document also describes various forecasting techniques such as qualitative judgmental forecasts, quantitative time-series forecasts including naive forecasts, moving averages, weighted moving averages, exponential smoothing, and linear trend analysis. It provides examples and discusses advantages and disadvantages of each technique.
The document discusses Six Sigma (6s), including what it is, why companies implement it, and how the process works. 6s is a statistical approach to quality improvement that aims to reduce defects to 3.4 parts per million. It provides a rigorous process for defining, measuring, analyzing, improving, and controlling quality issues important to customers. The document outlines the key benefits of 6s such as decreased costs, improved quality and customer satisfaction, and making data-driven decisions.
This document discusses key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics for evaluating forecast performance in demand planning. It provides examples of metrics such as trended forecast bias and error, which measure how consistently a forecast is too high or low, and the absolute differences between forecasts and actual demand. The document also discusses forecast completeness indicators, process compliance metrics like the percentage of demand forecasting units with automated statistical baselines, and demand planning analytics like measuring demand patterns, forecast stability, evolution over time, and statistical predictability. It emphasizes the importance of tracking these metrics to ensure a successful demand planning process.
The document provides an overview of sales forecasting including: defining sales forecasting and its importance; levels of forecasting; the sales forecasting process and common techniques; types of errors; and how sales forecasts are used in budgeting. Key points covered include common sales forecasting techniques like time series analysis and causal models; using forecasts in budget determination and allocation; and the role of sales forecasts in establishing budgets for departments like sales, production and administration.
This document discusses various demand forecasting methods and facility planning concepts. It begins by explaining the need for demand forecasting and some common forecasting methods like time series analysis, simple moving average, exponential smoothing, and regression analysis. It also discusses qualitative forecasting techniques like market research, focus groups, and historical analogy. The document then covers factors that influence facility location according to various theories. Finally, it provides a brief overview of capacity planning and the key steps involved.
This document summarizes a re-examination of crowd-sourced earnings forecasts from Estimize. It finds that:
1) Estimize estimates tend to be more accurate than Wall Street estimates, especially for sectors like information technology, consumer staples, and consumer discretionary. Estimize accuracy increases with more analyst estimates.
2) Estimize estimates better predict earnings surprises, generating larger returns after earnings surprises.
3) Estimize estimates deviate more from Wall Street benchmarks as the report date approaches, providing an early indication of institutional investor trading. Large deviations in Estimize estimates predict positive cumulative returns after the report date.

The document analyzes the performance of applying a trend-following strategy of going long after an 18-day high and short after a 14-day low to the SLV ETF. It finds that while shorter parameters led to losses due to volatility, parameters around monthly timeframes captured longer movements profitably. The optimized 18-day high and 14-day low parameters achieved a 16.9% gain over 10 years. However, drawdowns were larger than for the similar GLD strategy, and the approach may be less effective in bottoming markets.
