[Feature Request] Implement Retail Sales Forecasting Model Using LSTM for Time Series Analysis #154

Open gos24abhik opened 1 day ago

gos24abhik commented 1 day ago

🔍 Problem Description: The rapid advancement of technology and online platforms has led to a significant increase in the amount of data generated. Predicting sales trends can be a complex challenge for businesses, especially in retail. A robust retail sales forecasting model can help businesses optimize inventory, reduce costs, and increase revenue by accurately predicting future sales based on historical data.

🧠 Model Description: I propose to implement a Retail Sales Forecasting Model using Time Series Analysis techniques. The model will utilize Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, which are well-suited for time series data due to their ability to remember previous time steps and effectively handle sequential data. The model will be trained on historical sales data, considering factors like seasonality, promotions, and economic indicators. Additionally, I will explore the integration of external factors such as marketing campaigns and local events to enhance prediction accuracy.

⏲️ Estimated Time for Completion: I estimate that the implementation and testing of the Retail Sales Forecasting Model will take approximately 1-2weeks. This timeframe includes data preprocessing, model training, testing, and documentation.

🎯 Expected Outcome: The expected outcome of this model is to provide an accurate and reliable sales forecasting tool that can assist retailers in making informed decisions about inventory management, resource allocation, and marketing strategies. By integrating this model into the ML-Nexus repository, we can enhance its utility for businesses aiming to leverage data for strategic planning.

📄 Additional Context:

This model can be expanded to accommodate various types of retail environments (e.g., e-commerce, brick-and-mortar). I will ensure that the model aligns with the existing project structure and guidelines. I will create detailed documentation to facilitate understanding and usage of the model.
