Exam AWS Certified Machine Learning - Specialty topic 1 question 282 discussion

A machine learning (ML) specialist at a retail company must build a system to forecast the daily sales for one of the company's stores. The company provided the ML specialist with sales data for this store from the past 10 years. The historical dataset includes the total amount of sales on each day for the store. Approximately 10% of the days in the historical dataset are missing sales data.

The ML specialist builds a forecasting model based on the historical dataset. The specialist discovers that the model does not meet the performance standards that the company requires.

Which action will MOST likely improve the performance for the forecasting model?

  • A. Aggregate sales from stores in the same geographic area.
  • B. Apply smoothing to correct for seasonal variation.
  • C. Change the forecast frequency from daily to weekly.
  • D. Replace missing values in the dataset by using linear interpolation.

Could be B or D. The question calls out that 10% of the data is missing, which a lot. Smoothing would help as well. I'll go with D.

While both B & D will have effect on performace but MOST effect will be from B - smoothening of seasonal variations for forecasting. Linera interpolation may even have adverse effect on performance if relationship between variables in not linear.

After must consideration, I will change my answer to "D" First and foremost, solving missing data is more important. The question clearly states that 10% data are missing.

I'm going with B. 10% missing data on 10 years of data shouldn't matter too much, so D falls off. Seasonality introduces issues and should be fixed. A and C are wrong for obvious reasons.

10% data in 10 years is an entire year of missing data. Its D, we dont even know if this company has seasonality problems

Selected Answer: B
B. Apply smoothing to correct for seasonal variation. Smoothing techniques, such as using moving averages or other time series smoothing methods, can help in reducing noise and capturing the underlying patterns in the sales data. Seasonal variation is a common issue in time series data, especially in retail where sales may exhibit regular patterns based on seasons, holidays, or other recurring events.
