Historical Market Development Information |
Delphi Method |
Long-term prediction |
Experts will develop in accordance with the law, conduct anonymous surveys on multiple experts, conduct statistical analysis on the results through multiple rounds of feedback, and generate quantitative results using average or median. |
Comprehensive Analysis of expert opinions |
Analogy Prediction Method |
Long-term prediction |
Compares and analyzes the appearance and development of similar products based on the principle of development similarity of things. |
Related Historical Data |
Quantitative Method |
Linear regression prediction (including mona1 and multivariate) |
Short and mid-term prediction |
There is a linear relationship between the dependent variable and one or more independent variables. The most common one-dimensional model relationship is y = ax + B. |
Historical data of the volume to be analyzed |
Nonlinear regression prediction |
Short and mid-term prediction |
There is a non-linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. Common relational models include power function, exponential function, parabolic function, logarithm function, and s-form function. |
Historical data of the object to be analyzed |
Trend Extension Method |
Medium-to long-term prediction |
Use mathematical models to fit a trend line and predict the future development trend of things |
Long-term Historical Data |
Average moving Method |
Short-Term Prediction |
Use the average value of multiple data periods to predict future trends |
Multiple historical periods. |
Exponential Smoothing |
Short-Term Prediction |
Similar to the mean moving method, but different weights are given to recent and distant observations to predict trends. |
Multiple historical periods. |
Adaptive Filtering |
Short-Term Prediction |
The nature of the trend pattern changes with time, and there is no seasonal time series data |
Multiple historical periods. |
Smoothing time series prediction method |
Short-Term Prediction |
Prediction methods applicable to the development forms of various sequences |
Multiple historical periods. |
Intervention analysis Prediction Model |
Short-Term Prediction |
A Prediction Method Applicable to time series when a node is affected by unexpected events. |
Historical data and major impact events |
Boom Prediction Method |
Short and mid-term prediction |
Continuation and turning prediction of time series Trends |
Large amount of historical data |
Grey Prediction Method |
Short and mid-term prediction |
At that time, the development was exponential. |

State space model and Kalman Filter |
Short and mid-term prediction |
Suitable for prediction of various time series |
Analyze historical data of an object |
Introduction to qualitative methods and specific cases
1. Expert Conference method and Delphi Method
Both of these methods rely on the judgment of experts to make predictions. They are subjective. Therefore, its effectiveness is very limited to the professional level of experts, so its practicality and reliability are relatively poor.
The basic process of expert meetings is to organize relevant materials> organize expert meetings> give experts their own ideas> summarize the results.
The Delphi method is different in that there is no face-to-face meeting process, and experts make their own judgments anonymously.
There are three methods to summarize the results:
A. Three-point estimation method. That is, the participating experts give three possible values: highest, most likely, and lowest.
B. Relative Importance method. Based on the knowledge and experience of the experts, divide them into different weights and calculate the weighted average for the prediction results based on the weights.
C. subjective probability method. The forecaster makes a subjective judgment on the probability of the event to be predicted, and gives the possible probability.
In practical application, the above methods may be used for interaction. The example in the reference document is the combination of the three-point estimation method and the relative importance method. For example, Manager, b, c, very easy to understand. A good example of the subjective probability method is Chapter 7 subjective probability in "in-depth analysis of data", which also involves how to use Bayesian rules to correct subjective probability, if you can find this book online, you can check it out.

2. analogy Prediction
Analogy prediction is based on the differences between the comparison objects, such as product analogy, Regional Analogy, International analogy, Industry Promotion, and updating. Predict the possible market performance of a new product based on the Market Performance of a known product, or predict the possible market performance of a product in region. However, the similarity of events is limited, and different events are affected by many different factors. Therefore, analogy prediction is not a strict prediction method, and the effect is limited. However, it has many applications. The second reference Link provides an example of Regional Analogy prediction.
