Q2Domain Verified
According to "The Complete Predictive Sales Forecasting Course 2026," when evaluating the performance of a predictive sales forecast model, what is the primary advantage of using Mean Absolute Scaled Error (MASE) over Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) for cross-model comparison, especially when dealing with data that may include zero or near-zero actual sales values?
MASE is computationally less intensive than MAPE.
MAPE is inherently biased towards over-forecasting when actual values are small.
MASE directly measures the accuracy of the forecast in absolute dollar terms.
MASE provides a dimensionless measure that is independent of the scale of the actual data, thus handling zero or near-zero values more robustly.
Q3Domain Verified
"The Complete Predictive Sales Forecasting Course 2026" emphasizes the importance of feature engineering for predictive sales forecasting. Which of the following feature engineering techniques would be most effective in a scenario where sales performance is heavily influenced by the time of year and specific promotional periods, even if those periods are irregular?
Simple Lagged Variables
Cyclical Feature Encoding (e.g., using sine and cosine transformations for month or day of week) and creating dummy variables for specific promotional events.
Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
One-Hot Encoding of Categorical Features
