Time series analysis

Bold BI makes time series analysis simple and actionable by visualizing historical data clearly helping teams analyze past performance, understand seasonality, and make decisions based on trends rather than assumptions.

Forecasting in Bold BI

Now, you can use Bold BI® to predict trends in your data. Our exponential smoothing model uses the weighted average of past data points to forecast future outcomes.

Also, you can add a trendline to your data series to easily perform regression analysis. We offer Linear, Exponential, Logarithmic, Power, and Polynomial trendlines to suit all your needs.

Any AI or ML use case goes through such a life cycle. Using Syncfusion’s Data Integration Platform, the ETL process to extract data from a source, transform/process it by running python machine learning scripts as scheduled and export the resultant data to the SQL server can be done with ease. This helps visualize data into meaningful insights in Bold BI.
