Autobox 6.0 - Interactive and Batch Versions

See how easy and accurate forecasting can be. Import your own data, run forecasts, generate graphs and reports to feel the power of our forecasting engine. You can also choose to use our example data sets that demonstrate different ways our Autobox engine can uncover the knowledge from the noise in real world data sets.

Once you have installed Autobox you can try out the Interactive version by clicking on the "Autobox" icon on your desktop or the "Autobox batch" icon also foundon the desktop.

Works on the following platforms:
Windows 2000 / NT/ XP / Vista / Windows 7

*Note for Vista users when installing Autobox you must save the file to your desktop and then right click the Autobox icon and select 'run as administrator'. When you run Autobox, you need to right click on the icon and choose "run as administrator".

Autobox is a freeware version of Autobox 6.0 where you can test it out on YOUR DATA and 720 classic textbook time series. After 30 days, you will be restricted to getting a one period out forecast(You can send us your data in an email and we analyze it and send it back to you with complete results if you want us to add our opinion on what interesting findings you should be aware of!) You can see the model and the model development process. Autobox was the best performing automated software in the 2008 Neural Network Forecasting Competition! Instead of using a pick best approach Autobox automatically builds the model (univariate and multivariate) all while identifying and incorporating any interventions. It selects the best lead/lag structures for each input series and corrects for omitted variables (holidays or price changes that have affected the historical data, but that the system has no knowledge of) by identifying pulses, seasonal pulses, level shifts and local time trends, and then adding the needed structure through surrogate variables.

Version 6 has now handles daily data specific issues like day of the week and week of the year effects.

Try out the Interactive Batch version using our data. This is the solution for users with lots of series ot model/forecast. This version will import data from Excel and then let you add various causal variables to all of your different series in one fell swoop. It still is an Executable that reads flat files and process them. It allows you to review the output (graphs and reports) easily. The forecasts are concatenated to one file so that the forecasts can be easily integrated your supply chain application. There is also one forecast file for each series.

Only 10 observations will be analyzed of your data and 1 forecast period given.

Autobox 6.0 - Mixed Frequency Suite

When you download the demo, download it and create a new folder. This is a sophisticated approach to solving the problem of hourly forecasting and you need to spend a few minutes reading the manual before "jumping into it". This demo version contains 5 example datasets. Just click on 'global1' to run the first example or 'goglobal' to run all 5 in batch. these are very large problems, so if you do run 'goglobal' go take your dog for a walk. The regular mixed.zip download is for 16 and 32 bit machines.

The 64 Bit (mixed64bit.zip) download is for 64 bit machines which were launched in 2003 and are the standard when you go to buy a new computer these days(2010).

This version will not run on your data.

The need to forecast interval data (ie hourly, semi-hourly) requires a unique approach to capture cyclicality and events while still trying to model the intraday variations that change during the week. Our solution sorts through this problem in a unique way.

Autobox goes through a two-step process that uses the daily data and then uses that output to guide the interval modeling. The results are oustanding. This solution is for anyone with quality forecasting at a discrete level. We have satisfied customers needing this analysis for staffing, energy, etc.

All of Autobox's expert features are all included here.

Callable DLL

We do not provide a way to download and try out our callable DLL unless we first have a conversation. At that point, we will provide at the "API" and make it available for your testing.

This is the fastest way to get series in and forecasts out!
