Before you begin this discussion board (DB), make sure that you understand the discussion board grading rubric found in the Module information just below the link to the discussion. For example, the Support area of the rubric shows \"Statements are well supported; posts extend discussion.\" You can support your work by using at least one scholarly source to earn the \"Meets Expectation\" grade. Other non-scholarly sources, or solely using the course content and text will earn a lesser grade. The readings and any supplementary material from the week should provide your foundation for answering the prompt, but additional research is expected. Remember your first post in answer to the prompt is due by Wednesday with at least two replies to classmates due by Saturday. One of the interesting uses of time series forecasting is that petroleum companies use the method to predict how long the oil will last at a given site. It will be interesting to see where your research takes you. I am looking forward to your thoughts on our discussion this week
