The ability to do demand forecasting, regression analysis, and optimization are all key value adds that can deliver increased business value to the applications being developed in Anaplan. While it's possible to revert to math first principles to support some level of each of these, it would elevate the business value if there was integration/interface with third party science engines eg. 'R', or GAMS. It would be desirable that the algorithms could be invoked directly in anaplan ie without have to export data, run the algorithm, and re-import.
