[edit] Concern with classification of methods

Regression analysis, ARMA, and ARIMA are not causal methods (they do not "identify the underlying factors that might influence the variable"). They should be moved to time-series methods, or Causal and econometric methods should be separated. I think this page needs some work. I'm not fluent enough in this area to make edits, though.

[edit] Site advertising

I don't usually edit pages so I don't really know wikipedia policy, but the following seems like advertising a website.

"The main source of information about forecasting on the internet is the Forecasting Principles site, forecastingprinciples.com." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 145.97.201.67 (talk) 15:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC).

I have to agree the second paragraph on this article sounds very much like advertising. Some of the external links might be useful and should be considered to be moved to a different section possibly.
