\subsection{Impact of the Training Horizon}
|
||||
\label{training}
|
||||
|
||||
Whereas it is reasonable to assume that forecasts become more accurate as the
|
||||
training horizon expands, our study reveals some interesting findings.
|
||||
First, without demand, \textit{trivial} indeed performs better with more
|
||||
training material, but improved pattern recognition cannot be the cause
|
||||
here.
|
||||
Instead, we argue that the reason for this is that the longer there has been
|
||||
no steady demand, the higher the chance that this will not change soon.
|
||||
Further, if we focus on shorter training horizons, the sample will necessarily
|
||||
contain cases where a pixel is initiated after a popular-to-be restaurant
|
||||
joined the platform:
|
||||
Demand grows fast making \textit{trivial} less accurate, and the pixel moves
|
||||
to another cluster soon.
|
||||
|
||||
Second, with low demand, the best-performing \textit{hsma} becomes less
|
||||
accurate with more training material.
|
||||
While one could argue that this is due to \textit{hsma} not fitting a trend,
|
||||
the less accurate \textit{hses} and \textit{hets} do fit a trend.
|
||||
Instead, we argue that any low-demand time series naturally exhibits a high
|
||||
noise-to-signal ratio, and \textit{hsma} is the least susceptible to
|
||||
noise.
|
||||
Then, to counter the missing trend term, the training horizon must be shorter.
|
||||
|
||||
With medium demand, a similar argument can be made; however, the
|
||||
signal already becomes more apparent favoring \textit{hets} with more
|
||||
training data.
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, with high demand, the signal becomes so clear that more sophisticated
|
||||
models can exploit longer training horizons.
