- The width of the 80% prediction interval for this forecast in March of 2027 is 45 dollars.
These three residual plots allow the analyst to examine the distribution of the residuals of the modeled time series.
Despite increasing volatility, our stock price model is estimated to be 91.7% accurate.
This doesn’t guarantee that forecasts will be 91.7% accurate but it does improve our chances of accurate forecasting.
