Demand forecasting is one of the core challenges in retail business and successful supply chain planning. However, many endogenous and exogenous factors make the task very challenging. Simple linear and univariate models are unable to capture many of the complex patterns present in the demand time series. Hence, probabilistic Bayesian models have gained prominence in the field. The objective of this thesis is to determine whether the probabilistic model specification by Chapados (2014) is sufficient for industrial-scale demand forecasting. The model is a state space model with negative binomial observations and a latent autoregressive (AR) process of order one. The Bayesian inference over the unknown parameters and latent states is car...
