1. Abstract Ensuring that each explanatory indicator has the correct expected sign before running Predict prevents mis-specified relationships and unnecessary reruns. Confirming sign direction improves model validity, interpretability, and efficiency. 2. Context Apply this best practice during Predict configuration, after…
1. Abstract Including too many explanatory variables in a model can reduce clarity, increase instability, and weaken long-term performance. Thoughtfully limiting variables helps preserve interpretability, strengthen generalization, and improve stakeholder trust. 2. Context Apply this best practice when configuring Predict,…
1. Abstract Large one-off shocks, such as strikes, pandemics, or natural disasters, can distort time-series data. Adding control binaries isolates these events, ensuring your model focuses on true economic relationships. 2. Context Apply when a dataset contains periods of extraordinary disruption unrelated to normal market…
1. Abstract Residuals show how closely a model’s predictions match actual outcomes. Reviewing recent residual behavior helps confirm that a model remains reliable and has not drifted away from current business conditions. 2. Context Use this best practice after running Predict and before moving a model to Production, as…
1. Abstract A successful model is not defined by statistics alone. The best models combine strong statistical performance with clear, intuitive business logic and are easy to explain to stakeholders. This best practice guides users through selecting, validating, and approving models for real-world use. 2. Context Use this…
