Abstract

A data prediction subsystem stores event data indicating amounts of items removed from locations over a previous period of time and event-to-status transition rules for each location. An event is detected at a first location. The detected event is associated with a change in status of a first item. Based on the detected event and the event-to-status transition rules, an anticipated item status is determined for the first item, indicating whether the first item is believed to be present at the first location at a time during the previous period of time of the event data. Based at least in part on the anticipated item status for the first item, a prediction value is determined that corresponds to a recommended amount of the first item to request for a future time.
