Trend Projection n If a time series exhibits a linear trend, the method of least squares may be used to determine a trend line (projection) for future forecasts. n Least squares, also used in regression analysis, determines the unique trend line forecast which minimizes the mean square error between the trend line forecasts and the actual observed values for the time series. n The independent variable is the time period and the dependent variable is the actual observed value in the time series.

Linear Trend Regression n Using the method of least squares, the formula for the trend projection is: where: T t = linear trend forecast in period t where: T t = linear trend forecast in period t b 0 = intercept of the linear trend line b 0 = intercept of the linear trend line b 1 = slope of the linear trend line b 1 = slope of the linear trend line t = time period t = time period T t = b 0 + b 1 t

The weighted moving average, even with heavy (.6) weight placed on the current period, produced a forecast that is lagging behind the changing data. n Conclusion Trend Projection

Holt’s Linear Exponential Smoothing n Charles Holt developed a version of exponential smoothing that can be used to forecast a time series with a linear trend. n Holt’s linear exponential smoothing is often called double exponential smoothing. Forecasts for Holt’s method are obtained using two smoothing constants,  and , and three equations.

Time Series Decomposition n Time series decomposition can be used to separate or decompose a time series into seasonal, trend, and irregular (error) components. n While this method can be used for forecasting, its primary applicability is to get a better understanding of the time series. n Understanding what is really going on with a time series often depends upon the use of deseasonalized data.

Time Series Decomposition n Decomposition methods assume that the actual time series value at period t is a function of three components: trend, seasonal, and irregular. n How these three components are combined to give the observed values of the time series depends upon whether we assume the relationship is best described by an additive or a multiplicative model.

Time Series Decomposition  An additive model follows the form: n Additive Model Y t = Trend t + Seasonal t + Irregular t where: Trend t = trend value at time period t Trend t = trend value at time period t Seasonal t = seasonal value at time period t Seasonal t = seasonal value at time period t Irregular t = irregular value at time period t Irregular t = irregular value at time period t  An additive model is appropriate in situations where the seasonal fluctuations do not depend upon the level of the time series.

T t = b 0 + b 1 t Step 7. Determine a trend line of the deseasonalized data. Using the least squares method for t = 1, 2,..., 12, Using the least squares method for t = 1, 2,..., 12,gives: Using the Deseasonalizing Time Series to Identify Trend Deseasonalized Sales t = t

T 13 = (33.96)(13) = 2022 T 14 = (33.96)(14) = 2056 T 15 = (33.96)(15) = 2090 Step 8. Determine the deseasonalized predictions. Substitute t = 13, 14, and 15 into the least squares equation: Using the Deseasonalizing Time Series to Identify Trend

Season 3: (.586)(2090) = 1225 Season 2: (1.236)(2056) = 2541 Season 1: (1.178)(2022) = 2382 Step 9. Take into account the seasonality. Multiply each deseasonalized prediction by its seasonal factor to give the following forecasts for year 5: Multiply each deseasonalized prediction by its seasonal factor to give the following forecasts for year 5: Seasonal Adjustments
