Forecasting Using Simple Exponential Smoothing Method

In the paper a relatively simple yet powerful and versatile technique for forecasting time series data – simple exponential smoothing is described. The simple exponential smoothing (SES) is a short-range forecasting method that assumes a reasonably stable mean in the data with no trend (consistent growth or decline). It is one of the most popular forecasting methods that uses weighted moving av...

Forecasting time series with complex seasonal patterns using exponential smoothing

A new innovations state space modeling framework, incorporating Box-Cox transformations, Fourier series with time varying coefficients and ARMA error correction, is introduced for forecasting complex seasonal time series that cannot be handled using existing forecasting models. Such complex time series include time series with multiple seasonal periods, high frequency seasonality, non-integer s...

Short-term electricity demand forecasting using double seasonal exponential smoothing

This paper considers univariate online electricity demand forecasting for lead times from a half-hour-ahead to a day-ahead. A time series of demand recorded at half-hourly intervals contains more than one seasonal pattern. A within-day seasonal cycle is apparent from the similarity of the demand profile from one day to the next, and a within-week seasonal cycle is evident when one compares the ...

Forecasting with exponential smoothing methods and bootstrap

The Boot.EXPOS procedure is an algorithm that combines the use of exponential smoothing methods with the bootstrap methodology for obtaining forecasts. In previous works the authors have studied and analyzed the interaction between these two methodologies. The initial sketch of the procedure was developed, modified and evaluated until its final form designated as Boot.EXPOS.
