Theoretical Analysis of an XGBoost Framework for Product Cannibalization

Machine Learning 2021-12-06 v1

Abstract

This paper is an extension of our work where we presented a three-stage XGBoost algorithm for forecasting sales under product cannibalization scenario. Previously we developed the model based on our intuition and provided empirical evidence on its performance. In this study we would briefly go over the algorithm and then provide mathematical reasoning behind its working.
