Page 135, Prob 25(a through c) – naïve,, moving average, exponential smoothing
Page 134, Prob 14 –, MAD, MSE
Page 138, Prob 31 data – use the first column (year 1)
A) compute a -3-month moving average (.4, .4, .2) through the new January .
B) Compute an exponential smoothing forecast to the new January. Start with a forecast of 70 for the first January and an alpha of 0.2
C) compare your two forecasts (over just the appropriate months) using both MSE and MAD
