Abstract: Forecasting is generally involved in business activities to anticipate or predict the future. With availability of numerous techniques and models, forecasters regularly face a genuine issue to identify suitable technique for different time series available in an organisation. Most of the time, it is not possible to find one technique that can be used for all-time series as the selection is dependent upon the characteristics of a time series. Hence, the research proposes a selection tree to aid in decision making based upon availability of type of dataset and time series characteristics. The framework is validated using four real case studies. This study also presents advancement to existing forecasting method selection tree by exploring a new dimension of complex seasonal pattern for long time series.
