Forecast confidence level
specifies the confidence level for the series. By default, this confidence level is 95% .
Number of periods to hold back
specifies a subset of actual time series values to hold back, starting from the end of the last nonmissing observation. Valid values are integers greater than or equal to 0 and less than 32,768.

Note: This option is not available if you selected Exponential smoothing as the forecasting model type.
Perform outlier detection
