Forecast master: Short-term forecasting package: User's manual, Version 2. 1
Your FORECAST MASTER forecasting package contains highly developed statistical forecasting programs for use in business, science and finance. The package makes sophisticated and accurte foreasting methodologies easy to use and, for the first time, readily accessible to the user who is not also a specialist in statistical forecasting. FORECAST MASTER provides the user with seven procedures to fit a statistial model to a historical time series of one or more dependent (endogenous) and one or more independent (exogenous) variables. The resulting model is then used to compute forecasts of the dependent variable(s) into the future. You can obtain forecasts of key macroeconomic variables like GNP from external sources, and use them in preparing your own forecasts. All of the forecasting procedures follow the same easy to understand format. A full range of standardized diagnostic statistics and graphical output is presented as each trial model is fitted to the historical data. The program itself will guide you in improving your model. Very few keystrokes are required. The programs run virtually automatically, except if you want to deviate from the default parameters. The default settings are presented to you in full screen deisplay, to be changed as desired. An online help facility is always ready to assist you. You should rarely have to consult this manual after your first time through.
