EXPONENTIAL SMOOTHING [7 records]

Record 1 2024-04-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Graphs and Diagrams
  • Economic Conditions and Forecasting
  • Modelling (Mathematics)
CONT

[When] using exponential smoothing models for forecasting, it is very important to know the salient characteristics of the time series...(i. e. trend and seasonality among other characteristics) before [choosing an] exponential smoother. The better the diagnosis of the salient characteristics of the time series, the more accurate the exponential smoothing forecasts are likely to be.

For Winters’ method and seasonal exponential smoothing, a seasonal weight near one implies that a nonseasonal model may be more appropriate and a seasonal weight near zero implies that deterministic seasonal factors may be present.

CONT

Les modèles de lissage exponentiel (Gardner, 1985) sont classés comme saisonniers ou non saisonniers.

Soit une famille de points de coordonnées [énumérés] dans un plan rapporté à un repère cartésien. On appelle lissage de ces points par une courbe algébrique de degré k la recherche d'une fonction polynôme P de degré k telle que la courbe d'équation y = P(x) passe «le plus près possible» des [points énumérés].

The new forecast is simply the addition of level and slope multiplied by the seasonal index. The level, slope and seasonal parameters are updated in a fashion similar to exponential smoothing.
