To facilitate monetary transactions between the two parties, eBay has to disburse funds to sellers before transactions from buyers have fully settled by \u201cfloating\u201d the required money from its own reserve accounts. This project aims to better predict the monetary amount that eBay needs to float, thereby preventing cash flow risk exposure while empowering sellers to be paid faster. We achieve this goal by developing different statistical and machine learning forecasting models.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>eBay Mathematics, 2021\u201322 Liaison(s): Dr. Stephanie Moyerman &#8217;06, Kishore Paul, Xiaolin Wang Advisor(s): Talithia Williams Students(s): Kyle Rong (PM), Rory [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[666],"class_list":["post-13261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mathematics","tag-ebay"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13261"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13261\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13330,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13261\/revisions\/13330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
