Forecast Errors in Service Systems
We investigate the presence and impact of forecast errors in the arrival rate of customers to a service system. Analysis of a large dataset shows that forecast errors can be large relative to the fluctuations naturally expected in a Poisson process. We show that ignoring forecast errors typically leads to overestimates of performance and that forecast errors of the magnitude seen in our dataset...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Moving Epidemic Method Model in Determining Threshold Levels of Influenza Outbreaks in Iran
Background and Objectives: Timely dection of influenza outbreaks is very important for a better reponse to outbreaks. The aim of this study was to assess the moving epidemic method for determinating influenza outbreak threshold levels in Iran. Methods: The moving epidemic method was applied to the WHO Flunet website data from January 2010 to December 2017 with the aim of determining outbreak...
متن کاملGeneralized Forecast Errors, A Change of Measure, and Forecast Optimality
This paper establishes properties of optimal forecasts under general loss functions, extending existing results obtained under speci c functional forms and data generating processes. We propose a new method that changes the probability measure under which the well-known properties of optimal forecasts under mean squared error loss can be recovered. We illustrate the proposed methods through an ...
متن کاملReporting errors in infectious disease outbreaks, with an application to Pandemic Influenza A/H1N1
BACKGROUND Effectively responding to infectious disease outbreaks requires a well-informed response. Quantitative methods for analyzing outbreak data and estimating key parameters to characterize the spread of the outbreak, including the reproductive number and the serial interval, often assume that the data collected is complete. In reality reporting delays, undetected cases or lack of sensiti...
