Embodiment 1

[0051] A large-scale 020 instant platform has a total of more than 100,000 stores, and the database has operation records of all stores from January 1, 2016 to August 31, 2019. Now it is planned to predict the order demand of 44 stores in the next day, and the forecast lead time τ=1 day. Through the preliminary analysis of historical sales, it is determined that the difference interval length δ = 1 day, and the training set time period does not exceed TP = [2018-11-1, 2017-11-2, ..., 2019-10-31] T . Some new stores will be launched after November 1, 2017, that is, the length of the time period is tp≤365.

Embodiment 2

[0068] A large supermarket has a total of 1,000 existing SKUs, and the database has operating records of all SKUs from January 1, 2016 to October 31, 2019. It is currently planned to conduct demand forecasting for SKUs with a procurement lead time of 3 days to support daily replenishment decisions. Forecast lead time τ = 3 days. Through the preliminary analysis of historical sales, it is determined that the difference interval length δ = 7 days, and the training set time period is TP = [2016-1-1, 2017-1-2, ..., 2019-10-31] T , the time period length is tp, a total of 1399 days.

Embodiment 3

[0085] A large supermarket has a total of 1,000 existing SKUs, and the database has operating records of all SKUs from January 1, 2016 to October 31, 2019. Now it is planned to forecast the demand for the 30-day sales in October 2019 of SKUs with a procurement lead time of 7 days in a region to support the replenishment decision of the general warehouse. Forecast lead time τ = 7 days. Through the preliminary analysis of historical sales, it is determined that the difference interval length δ = 1 month, and the training set time period is TP = [2016-1-1, 2017-1-2, ..., 2019-10-31] T , the time period length is tp, a total of 1399 days.

Abstract

The invention discloses a demand prediction method based on an incremental algorithm. The demand prediction method comprises the following steps of: extracting features and then carrying out differential processing on the features to obtain increments of the current features relative to historical features; carrying out differential processing on the demand to obtain an incremental demand of the current demand relative to a historical demand; constructing a feature matrix by means of the incremental features and the initial features; forming training data by using the feature matrix and the increment demand; training an incremental demand estimation model by adopting a machine learning method; and estimating the future increment by using the learned model so as to obtain future demand prediction. According to the demand prediction method, the influence of factors which cannot be quantitatively characterized on prediction can be reduced by predicting the demand increment, and the accuracy of demand prediction is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the interdisciplinary field of machine learning and supply chain management, and in particular relates to a method for pattern mining and real-time prediction of demand for products or services, specifically a demand forecasting method based on an incremental algorithm. Background technique [0002] The development of the Internet, mobile marketing, and new retail has put forward higher requirements for the sensitivity of consumer demand perception, inventory response speed, and supply chain management efficiency. In the field of supply chain management, inventory management and decision-making occupy a very important position; and accurately predicting future demand and demand changes will greatly improve the operating level of inventory. How to effectively predict the future demand of new products, especially the real-time demand, has gradually become an important topic and difficult problem in product operation and supply ch...
