Forecasting Methods
TERMS OF USE: The forecasting methods used in
the Forecasting Function are based on the statistical analysis of
historical information drawn from underlying data sources. The accuracy
of the forecasted values is subject to many variables. These variables
include the accuracy of the underlying historical data and external
events which could affect the validity of that underlying historical
data for forecasting purposes. The Forecasting Function is to be used
only as a guide of the future values for the measures being forecasted
and is not intended to be used as the basis for complex financial
or business decisions.
IBM® makes no representations as to the accuracy of the actual future values and does not guarantee any specific results. You use the Forecasting Function and the data it generates at your own risk. The Forecasting Function may contain errors or produce inaccurate calculations. You accept the Forecasting Function and the documentation "AS IS". IN NO EVENT SHALL IBM BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE FORECASTING FUNCTION OR THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.
