Forecasting Methods for Seasonal Peaks

Seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA)

SARIMA is especially applied in the forecasting of data with significant seasonal patterns, as it may lead to greater accuracy through explicit consideration of seasonality. This predictive analytics ecommerce approach is essential for effective demand forecasting.
