Add Your Business Knowledge
Forecast Pro lets you adjust
your forecasts on a graph or in
a spreadsheet-like display. You
can adjust single points, ranges
or totals, using percentages,
increments or by simply entering
new values. If you've defined a
multiple level hierarchy,
adjusting a value at any given
level will automatically adjust
all appropriate levels.

Make Convincing Presentations
With Forecast Pro, you can
create dazzling,
presentation-quality reports in
seconds. Four
professionally-designed
standardized report formats are
included as well as a custom
reporting option for maximum
flexibility. You can graph your
results on a time series or
year-over-year basis, and choose
from several eye-catching
formats including 3-D lines and
3-D columns.
Work With Your Existing Data
Forecast Pro imports data in
a variety of flexible,
easy-to-create formats including
Excel and Lotus spreadsheets,
text files and ODBC. These
flexible formats allow you to
easily import and export data
from virtually any source. There
is also an on-line editor to
enter your data directly, or to
modify and amend files.
Diagnose Your Models
Forecast Pro provides
a standardized set of diagnostic
screens to help you compare and
evaluate models. You get graphs
of the residuals and the error
autocorrelation function, grid
displays of the correlation
matrix and covariance matrix, as
well as key numeric statistics:
Adjusted R-Square, MAPE, Sample
Size, Mean, Schwartz BIC, Ljung-Box,
RMSE, Standard Deviation, MAD,
R-Square and Standard Forecast
Error.
Evaluate Alternative
Forecasts
If you define a holdout
sample, Forecast Pro XE will
automatically generate
out-of-sample MAPE, MAD and
GMRAE statistics to measure
forecast performance. This handy
feature allows you to quickly
evaluate different models and
answer questions like "How
accurate would my forecasts have
been had I used Forecast Pro
last year?"
