How the forecast was made

Intermittent (TSB)off by 2.9 syringe/week on average, over-forecast0% better than naive

This item is used on fewer than 60% of days, so the forecast is 'how much when it's used' times 'how often it's used', each updated daily.

Report card: the model was fit on history up to Tue Jul 21 and scored on the 56 days after. Weekly totals were off by 2.9 syringe a week, and it over-forecast by 28% overall. A same-weekday-last-week guess would have been off by 54%. This item had no usage on 52% of days, so the intermittent method is used.

Weekly totals in syringe. Error is forecast minus what was used, so a positive number means the model ran high. This window was hidden from the model when it was fit.
