    Comparison of Causal and Time-Series Models in Forecasting: Applications, Challenges, and Techniques Discussion 2 What is the difference between a causal model and a time- series model? Give an example of when each would be used. What are some of the problems and drawbacks of the moving average forecasting model? How do you determine how many observations to average in a moving average model? How do you determine the weightings to use in a weighted moving average model? What is the difference between a causal model and a time- series model? Give an example of when each would be used. The casual model is broader in the number of factors that are analyzed when determining the outcome of the forecasting exercise. This method is useful when you need to apply several different components to the analysis in order to receive a well-rounded forecast. The time-series model uses time to determine the outcome of the forecasting requirement. The time-series method uses historical data over a set period to determine the result of the forecasting. This is useful in a more limited scenario that is basic in nature. The casual model would be useful in determining the forecast of a bonus system in which several different factors are applied to the final value being distributed. The time-series model would be useful in determining traffic levels in a retail store based solely on time of day and no any other factors such as seasonal elements or other data.
