Create representative weeks for a long-term forecast

Optimizer uses the representative week to distribute weekly numbers to daily numbers for each route group. In this dialog, you can merge any number of the past 8 weeks into a single "Representative Week".

Note: This dialog also appears if you run the Set Value modification on a week with a 0 value.

Best practice recommends that, for a more accurate average, you select typical weeks. Optimizer uses the average representative week when it converts weekly data to daily or hourly numbers.

1. Review the weeks you want to use to create an average representative long-term forecast week. By default, all weeks are selected.

2. Deselect any non-typical weeks, or weeks you do not want to include, and click OK. The Generating long-term forecast “name” page opens.

3. When prompted, click OK.
