My network growth is not exactly linear. What is the benefit of ForeCast Managers Dyna-LinearTM Regression Analysis?
Network growth never demonstrates a true linear pattern. True network growth follows a step-function model. Strict linear or logical regression analysis is not adequate in forecasting network utilization. Linear regression under- and then over-predicts demand; while, logistical regression overreacts shortly after the step. ForeCast Manager’s Dyna-Linear Regression Analysis methodology allows for the filtering of data prior to the step in order to focus exclusively on the current growth pattern. Our Dyna-Linear Regression Analysis projects what resource and element requirements will be needed and how long a particular resource is likely to last. Also, ad-hoc “what-if analysis” can be done on subsets of historical data.
