Our predictive models combine ARIMA time-series analysis with machine learning ensemble methods (Random Forest, XGBoost, and LSTM neural networks). Models are trained on historical data from the NBS, CBN, FAO, and our proprietary survey data. Forecasts are validated using walk-forward analysis with a minimum 80% confidence interval.
