Datetime
Disposable Personal Income value
Additional features that can be computed are:
Disposable Personal Income: As a leading indicator, this index changes before sales change. Observe the best lag that is of interest.
Modeling parameters, including test.length, seasonality, observation.freq, and timeformat, needs to be input as well.
Datetime
Date features: year, month, week of month, etc.
Time features
Season features
Weekday-and-weekend features
Holiday features: New Year, U.S. Labor Day, U.S. Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday, Christmas, etc.
Suggestions:
Consider only sales values greater than 20
Divide the dataset into 2 years of training set and last 1 year of test set.
Take a log transformation of the sales value (dependent variable)
