Forecasting Methodology: Online Retailer

For online retailer (or a single store): When a stock-out was suffered and subsequent sales lost, this formula then finds the best category sales to infer seasonality from, for the item that sold out, and it corrects the sales history to what it would have been had the item not sold out. One can then use these "corrected sales" as basis for better forecasting
