Covid impact on eCommerce websites and how to manage it in the Time Series Forecasting model
Apr 6, 2022
--
Working on Time Series model and noticed that due to covid impact, the trend is incorrectly going negative.
Option to mitigate it:
- Dump 2020 data and start forecasting from 2021 data only. It can be a short term solution.
- Add a adjusting factor to adjust page views in 2019. Make sure that covid impact is mitigated
- Create synthetic data for 2020.
Will provide more details once I start working on solution
