Abstract
A data prediction subsystem receives event data indicating an amount of an item removed from each of a plurality of locations over a previous period of time. For each location, prediction data is determined using the event data. The prediction data includes, for each day over a future period of time, a non-integer value indicating an anticipated amount of the item that will be removed from the location. An improved rounding process is used to round the prediction value for each day. The resulting prediction data is used to proactively request items with improved communication and computational efficiency.
