Okay… this is not our business plan
– It is a collection of random thoughts we had while German and I were discussing the best methods and algorithms we could use to predict the prices that a lodging could charge for any given itinerary.
If you are interested in the topic, here are some interesting resources:
* Forecasting (an MBA Class from Duke University)
* Forecasting tourism demand with ARMA-based methods
* Autoregressive integrated moving average
* Spline interpolation
* Introduction to Computing with Geometry Notes
We are not sure which method we will end up using, but it is likely that we will use a combination of some of the above.
By the way, this picture was taken by Lucho while we were having dinner at the LetMeGo Immersion. You can see his Flickr photostream here.
