Description

Each time series in the dataset can be assigned one of the following classes:

Usage

m5_demand_type(data)

Arguments

data

The result of the m5_prepare function; tiny_m5 can be passed as well.

Details

• Smooth (ADI < 1.32 and CV² < 0.49).

• Intermittent (ADI >= 1.32 and CV² < 0.49)

• Erratic (ADI < 1.32 and CV² >= 0.49)

• Lumpy (ADI >= 1.32 and CV² >= 0.49)

Value

A data.table containing item ids (item_id and store_id), ADI and CV2 scores (adi and cv2 respectively) as well as the final class chosen based on the aforementioned scores (demand_type).
