What-if analysis is a scenario modeling technique where you make a hypothetical change to a time series and compare the forecasts generated by these changes against the baseline, unchanged time series. It is important to remember that the purpose of a what-if analysis is to understand how a forecast can change given different modifications to the baseline time series.

See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/forecastservice_create_what_if_analysis/ for full documentation.
