Motivation of Exponential
Smoothing
Simple moving average method assigns
equal weights (1/k) to all k data points.
Arguably, recent observations provide
more relevant information than do
observations in the past.
So we want a weighting scheme that
assigns decreasing weights to the more
distant observations.
Slide 3
Exponential Smoothing
Exponential smoothing methods give
larger weights to more recent
observations, and the weights decrease
exponentially as the observations become
more distant.
These methods are most effective when
the parameters describing the time series
are changing SLOWLY over time.

If the values of the parameters 0 and 1 are slowly
changing over time, Holts trend corrected exponential
smoothing method can be applied to the time series
observations.
Note: When neither 0 nor 1 is changing over time,
regression can be used to forecast future values of yt.

Holt-Winters Methods
Two Holt-Winters methods are designed for time
series that exhibit linear trend
- Additive Holt-Winters method: used for time
series
with constant (additive) seasonal variations
Multiplicative Holt-Winters method: used for time
series with increasing (multiplicative) seasonal
variations
Holt-Winters method is an exponential smoothing
approach for handling SEASONAL data.
The multiplicative Holt-Winters method is the better
known of the two methods.
