ARIMA model Customize

[RAMN]

Hi Community,

Can someone help me with 'Allow Drift' option available in ARIMA forecasting model. What exactly that option does in the model ?

Thanks,

Ramn

Hi @RAMN 

The Alteryx documentation on the ARIMA tool includes a link to documentation on the modeling methods used in the tool:

A detailed discussion of the ARIMA model, along with a description of the automated methods used in this tool, can be found in Chapter 8 of Hyndman and Athanasopoulos's online book Forecasting: Principals and Practice.

Section 3.1 of that material provides more information on the drift method including an explanation and examples.
