LightGBM Algorithm Supports Lever Sheets for Predictive Forecaster

LightGBM Algorithm Supports Lever Sheets for Predictive Forecaster

Preview: 2025-02-08
We deliver the option to add lever sheets for forecasts using the LightGBM algorithm.

Business Benefits

LightGBM is ideal for demand forecasting scenarios. Now, with the ability to add regressor data to the reference data, you can influence your machine learning (ML) forecast. The values you enter in the lever sheet adjust the algorithm calculations that populate in the forecast.

Changes

We now provide the
Lever Sheet
 drop-down prompt in the Algorithm section when you’re creating or editing a forecast with the LightGBM algorithm. The prompt enables you to select up to 3 modeled sheets to use as levers.

What Do I Need To Do?

You can create new LightGBM forecasts and use lever sheets. Or you can add lever sheets to existing forecasts that use LightGBM:
  1. From the main menu, select
    Modeling
    .
  2. Select
    Predictive Forecaster
    .
  3. Hover over the forecasts in the list to access the
    More Actions
     menu.
  4. Click the 3 dots that display and select
    Edit
    .
  5. In the
    Algorithm
    section, use the
    Lever Sheet
     prompt to add lever sheets to the forecast.
  6. Select
    Run
    or
    Save
     to run it later.

What Happens if I Do Nothing?

The option is available for all new and existing forecasts that use algorithms that support lever sheets, which now includes LightGBM.
