Operational Finance in the Age of Covid-19: Time to Change the Basics?

Jet Global

And it’s possible to become lost in the minutiae of the many different metrics available to measure an organisation’s AR capabilities. A 2017 study by FSN found that businesses which made better use of non-financial data were more than twice as likely to be able to forecast beyond the 12-month time horizon than those that didn’t.

For this reason we don’t report uncertainty measures or statistical significance in the results of the simulation. From a Bayesian perspective, one can combine joint posterior samples for $E[Y_i | T_i=t, E_i=j]$ and $P(E_i=j)$, which provides a measure of uncertainty around the estimate. ACM, 2017. [4]

Quantification of forecast uncertainty via simulation-based prediction intervals. First, the system may not be understood, and even if it was understood it may be extremely difficult to measure the relationships that are assumed to govern its behavior. Crucially, our approach does not rely on model performance on holdout samples.

My 10-step path to becoming a remote data scientist with Automattic

Data Science and Beyond

While some people may find this kind of uncertainty daunting, I find it interesting, as it is one of the things that makes data science a science. As the plugin didn’t include any tests for short texts, one of the main contributions of my work was the creation of datasets and tests to measure its accuracy on texts of different lengths.
