Advances in Business and Management Forecasting cover

Volume 13, Advances in Business and Management Forecasting, is a blind refereed serial publication. It presents state-of-the-art studies in the application of forecasting methodologies to such areas as sales forecasting, retailing, service contracts, bankruptcy prediction, executive compensation, and call center staffing. The orientation of this volume is for business applications for both the researcher and the practitioner of forecasting. 
Volume 13 is divided into three sections: Marketing, Sales and Service Forecasting; Economic, Financial and Insurance Forecasting; and, CEO Compensation and Operations Forecasting. An interdisciplinary group of experts explore wide-ranging topics including omnichannel retailing, growth business cycles, under-resampling methods to detect non-injured passengers within car accidents and regression modeling of CEO compensation.

Business scholars present recent findings on the forecasting of marketing, sales, and service; economic, financial, and insurance forecasting; and forecasting CEO compensation and operations. Specific topics include exploring the suitability of support vector regression and radial basis function approximation to forecast sales of Fortune 500 companies, service contracts for delays in delivery, detecting non-injured passengers and drivers in car accidents: a new under-resampling method for imbalanced classification, regression modeling based on a peer group for the executive compensation of AT&T CEO, and an agent-based queuing model for call center forecasting and management optimization. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *
