Capstone Project - DS With R

The retail store is facing issues managing inventory to match supply and demand across its multiple outlets. The project involves analyzing a dataset of 6435 rows and 8 columns of weekly sales data for various stores to gain insights like how unemployment, seasonality, temperature, consumer price index affect sales. A predictive model will then be developed to forecast sales for each store for the next 12 weeks to help address the inventory management issues.
