To forecast data, an initial collection of data having a first length is received. In response to determining that the first length of the initial collection of data is insufficient for performing forecasting using a forecasting algorithm, an order of the initial collection of data is reversed to provide a reversed collection of data. Forecasting is applied on the reversed collection of data to estimate additional data values to combine with the initial collection of data to provide a second collection of data having a second length greater than the first length. The forecasting algorithm is applied on the second collection of data.
