In this example, you will use the Expert Modeler to produce forecasts for the next three months for each of the 85 local markets, saving the generated models to an external XML file. Once you are finished, you might want to work through the next example, in, , Bulk Reforecasting by Applying Saved Models, which applies the saved models to an updated dataset in order to extend the forecasts by another three months without having to rebuild the models.
