Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods for providing a forecast using time series data that is indicative of a data generation activity occurring over a period of time. Candidate models and candidate input variables are received. For each candidate model, transfer functions are determined for the candidate input variables in order to relate a variable to be forecasted to the time series data. For each candidate model there is a selection of which of the candidate input variables to include in each of the candidate models based upon the determined transfer functions. A model is selected from the candidate models to forecast the time series data using the selected input variables of the selected model.
