Abstract
In an aspect, input data can be received, including at least time series data associated with purchases of at least one product and causal influencer data associated with the purchases. The causal influencer data can include at least non-stationary data, where lost shares associated with said at least one product are unobserved. An artificial neural network can be trained based on the received input data to predict a future global demand associated with at least one product and individual market shares associated with at least one product. The artificial neural network can include at least a first temporal network to predict the global demand and a second temporal network to predict each of the individual market shares. The first temporal network and the second temporal network can be trained simultaneously.
