2. 2 Project II

3. I. Work in Groups II. You will be graded based on a PowerPoint presentation and a written report. III. Your report should have an executive summary of one to one and a half pages that summarizes your findings in words for a non- technical reader. It should explain the problem being examined from an economic perspective, i.e. it should motivate interest in the issue on the part of the reader. Your report should explain how you are investigating the issue, in simple language. It should explain why you are approaching the problem in this particular fashion. Your executive report should explain the economic importance of your findings.

11. 11 Simple exponential smoothing Simple exponential smoothing, also known as single exponential smoothing, is most appropriate for a time series that is a random walk with first order moving average error structure Simple exponential smoothing, also known as single exponential smoothing, is most appropriate for a time series that is a random walk with first order moving average error structure The levels term, L(t), is a weighted average of the observation lagged one, y(t-1) plus the previous levels, L(t-1): The levels term, L(t), is a weighted average of the observation lagged one, y(t-1) plus the previous levels, L(t-1): L(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1-a)*L(t-1) L(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1-a)*L(t-1)

12. 12 Single exponential smoothing The parameter a is chosen to minimize the sum of squared errors where the error is the difference between the observation and the levels term: e(t) = y(t) – L(t) The parameter a is chosen to minimize the sum of squared errors where the error is the difference between the observation and the levels term: e(t) = y(t) – L(t) The forecast for period t+1 is given by the formula: L(t+1) = a*y(t) + (1-a)*L(t) The forecast for period t+1 is given by the formula: L(t+1) = a*y(t) + (1-a)*L(t) Example from John Heinke and Arthur Reitsch, Business Forecasting, 6 th Ed.

36. 36 Part II. Three Perspectives on Single Exponential Smoothing The formula perspective The formula perspective L(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1 - a)*L(t-1) L(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1 - a)*L(t-1) e(t) = y(t) - L(t) e(t) = y(t) - L(t) The Box-Jenkins Perspective The Box-Jenkins Perspective The Updating Forecasts Perspective The Updating Forecasts Perspective

37. 37 Box Jenkins Perspective Use the error equation to substitute for L(t) in the formula, L(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1 - a)*L(t-1) Use the error equation to substitute for L(t) in the formula, L(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1 - a)*L(t-1) L(t) = y(t) - e(t) L(t) = y(t) - e(t) y(t) - e(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1 - a)*[y(t-1) - e(t-1)] y(t) = e(t) + y(t-1) - (1-a)*e(t-1) y(t) - e(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1 - a)*[y(t-1) - e(t-1)] y(t) = e(t) + y(t-1) - (1-a)*e(t-1) or  y(t) = y(t) - y(t-1) = e(t) - (1-a) e(t-1) or  y(t) = y(t) - y(t-1) = e(t) - (1-a) e(t-1) So y(t) is a random walk plus MAONE noise, i.e y(t) is a (0,1,1) process where (p,d,q) are the orders of AR, differencing, and MA. So y(t) is a random walk plus MAONE noise, i.e y(t) is a (0,1,1) process where (p,d,q) are the orders of AR, differencing, and MA.

44. 44 Box-Jenkins Perspective If the smoothing parameter approaches one, then y(t) is a random walk: If the smoothing parameter approaches one, then y(t) is a random walk:  y(t) = y(t) - y(t-1) = e(t) - (1-a) e(t-1)  y(t) = y(t) - y(t-1) = e(t) - (1-a) e(t-1) if a = 1, then  y(t) = y(t) - y(t-1) = e(t) if a = 1, then  y(t) = y(t) - y(t-1) = e(t) In Lab Eight, we will use the price of gold to make this point In Lab Eight, we will use the price of gold to make this point

L(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1-a)*a*y(t-2) + (1-a) 2 a*y(t-3) + ….

50. 50

51. 51 The Updating Forecasts Perspective Use the error equation to substitute for y(t) in the formula, L(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1 - a)*L(t-1) Use the error equation to substitute for y(t) in the formula, L(t) = a*y(t-1) + (1 - a)*L(t-1) y(t) = L(t) + e(t) y(t) = L(t) + e(t) L(t) = a*[L(t-1) + e(t-1)] + (1 - a)*L(t-1) L(t) = a*[L(t-1) + e(t-1)] + (1 - a)*L(t-1) So L(t) = L(t-1) + a*e(t-1), So L(t) = L(t-1) + a*e(t-1), i.e. the forecast for period t is equal to the forecast for period t-1 plus a fraction a of the forecast error from period t-1. i.e. the forecast for period t is equal to the forecast for period t-1 plus a fraction a of the forecast error from period t-1.

52. 52 Part III. Double Exponential Smoothing With double exponential smoothing, one estimates a “trend” term, R(t), as well as a levels term, L(t), so it is possible to forecast, f(t), out more than one period With double exponential smoothing, one estimates a “trend” term, R(t), as well as a levels term, L(t), so it is possible to forecast, f(t), out more than one period f(t+k) = L(t) + k*R(t), k>=1 f(t+k) = L(t) + k*R(t), k>=1 L(t) = a*y(t) + (1-a)*[L(t-1) + R(t-1)] L(t) = a*y(t) + (1-a)*[L(t-1) + R(t-1)] R(t) = b*[L(t) - L(t-1)] + (1-b)*R(t-1) R(t) = b*[L(t) - L(t-1)] + (1-b)*R(t-1) so the trend, R(t), is a geometric distributed lag of the change in levels,  L(t) so the trend, R(t), is a geometric distributed lag of the change in levels,  L(t)

53. 53 If the smoothing parameters a = b, then we have double exponential smoothing If the smoothing parameters a = b, then we have double exponential smoothing If the smoothing parameters are different, then it is the simplest version of Holt- Winters smoothing If the smoothing parameters are different, then it is the simplest version of Holt- Winters smoothing Part III.
