Predictive Analysis - Alogorithm determination

Dear Experts,

We are working on a Scenario, and try to build a Predictive Analysis reports on the same, as we are new to HANA , please help us  on the same.

Scenario

1) Machine are sending the consumption of liquid to HANA continuously, following are the machines configured.

2) Following is the sample data sent from machines for every minute Liquid consumption to HANA.

Our Reqirement:

Now we need to Build a Predictive analysis report around this data as follows:

1. 1) The report should show the predictive analysis of liquid consumption by month wise, for each machine level.

Our query:

1. 1) For this requirement what is the predictive analysis algorithm (function) we should use ?
2. 2) What is the implementation procedure on the respective algorithm.
   1. How can we build Types, input Tables ?
   2. How can we build Parameters, how can we determine the Alpha value etc , for our requirement?

Our research and queries on the same.

1. WE went through a video (HANA Academy - Key Concepts of the Predictive Analysis Library - YouTube)on Single Smooth Algorithm, in that we query on Result.
2. The  input was given as Calendar Id and Sales Amout, where Calendar Id starts from 0 – 23 , what is meant by this Calendar Id ?
3. And also the result is showing Calendar Id from 2-24 , why it is not considering Calendar 0 and 1
4. How can we say that the result is predictive and on what basis (like month ,year , date etc).

Thanks and Regards,
