FAQ

In this guide, we will address Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Prophet.

Q: What is Prophet?

A: Prophet is a research-based framework for model predictive control that helps you set up, solve, and monitor MCP problems effectively and reliably. It uses artificial intelligence to understand patterns, learn from them, and make optimized decisions based on the dataset you provide.

Q: How does Prophet work?

A: Prophet uses a five-step process:

  1. Upload Dataset: You provide your historical dataset to the Prophet API.
  2. Create Agent: You define the optimization goal and constraints to create an ‘Agent’.
  3. Train Agent: The Agent is then trained on the dataset to learn and understand patterns for accurate future predictions.
  4. Get Optimized Decisions: The trained Agent generates optimized decisions, offering high-performance solutions to your unique problems.
  5. Routine Retraining: The Agent is routinely retrained to ensure the model stays accurate and effective, adapting to distribution shifts in your environment.

Q: What is an ‘Agent’?

A: An ‘Agent’ is a defined optimization goal and constraint that you create on Prophet. It’s trained on your uploaded dataset, understanding patterns and learning from them to generate optimized decisions.

Q: What is ‘Routine Retraining’?

A: Routine Retraining is a feature of Prophet that allows for regular retraining of your Agent. This is done to maintain the accuracy and effectiveness of your model, particularly in response to distribution shifts in your environment.

Q: How can Prophet help my business?

A: Prophet can help your business make better, faster decisions. Its feature-rich environment supports your immediate and long-term sequential decision-making needs, enhancing performance and streamlining processes.

Q: What kind of industries can benefit from Prophet?

A: Prophet is built on methodologies that have been validated across a wide range of industries. Any sector that relies on sequential decision-making, such as supply chain management, digital marketing, healthcare, and finance, can benefit from Prophet.
