The Impact of Age Group in Hierarchical Forecasting of Monthly Blood Donations in Zimbabwe

20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of the Free State

Abstract

Hierarchical forecasting is a unique approach in that the different aggregation levels reveal important features of the blood donation data. The lower percentage of regular donations is worrisome to blood authorities as it points to new blood donors not returning for further donations. Blood authorities need to develop policies that will encourage new and young donor categories to become regular donors.
