Bussines Intelligence Studio support time series and regression(arimax)?

Question

Dear All,

My question is: In my company ,our sales changes by time but time is not the only variable that effects sales, inventory level,price also effect sales. Can Bussines Intelligence support to enter time, inventory level, price in time series model? This type of model also called Arimax.

Thank you

Answer 1

SQL Server has 2 time series algorithms: ARTXP and ARIMA.

You can achieve what you want with ARTXP.

ARIMA does not support cross-predictions (that is when one series values, such as inventory, affect another series predictions, such as sales).

You can read more information about it here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174923.aspx

SQL Server does not implement ARIMAX
