The document provides an overview of Microsoft Time Series algorithms for forecasting continuous values like sales over time. It discusses creating time series models in SQL Server that use a key time column to order data and make predictions on predictable attributes. The document demonstrates creating a time series mining model called "Forecasting_MIXED" using the Microsoft Time Series algorithm to predict quantity and amount based on reporting date and region. It shows how to create, alter, and execute the DMX query to generate the model and structure.
