We're excited to announce a new, highly requested feature on our platform: Product Estimation for Fuel Oils. This machine learning model enhances your understanding of trade flows by providing an estimate of a specific Grade within the Fuel Oils category when the information isn't directly available. This article guides you on how to use this feature.
Impact of the Product Estimation Feature
The Product Estimation for Fuel Oils feature significantly enhances your analysis of global trade flows. It substantially reduces the number of unclassified Fuel Oils exports, reallocating them to more detailed Grade categories.
