Exemplary embodiments are generally directed to methods, mediums, and systems for correcting censored or constrained historical data with various possible types of computing devices, including cloud-based devices, personal computing devices, and edge-based devices. The corrected data may be used in forecasting, for example to forecast demand for a limited resource. In some embodiments, the data is modeled at a higher level of granularity than an individual record. The aggregated demand may then be pro-rated over a group of categories or users where a given category of users that might be small or nonexistent over a certain time frame may be better accommodated. Moreover, it may be easier or more efficient to make assumptions and employ computing resources at the aggregate level.
