Cover Story: Global forecasting models like RNNs can be a powerful tool for forecasting in retail settings, where multiple time series are often influenced by a variety of external factors. By including covariates in a forecasting model, we can often better capture the factors that can influence sales in retail. We investigated how the accuracy of global forecasting models is affected by the inclusion of different potential demand covariates. The results obtained from DeepAR models trained on different combinations of features indicate that the inclusion of time-, event-, and ID-related features consistently enhances the forecast accuracy. The optimal performance is attained when all these covariates are employed together, improving RMSSE and MASE errors compared to the baseline model without features. View this paper
