Nodal Electricity Price Forecasting using Exponential Smoothing and Holt’s Exponential Smoothing

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 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 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.

Forecasting for Inventory Control with Exponential Smoothing

Exponential smoothing model selection for forecasting

Applications of exponential smoothing to forecasting time series usually rely on three basic methods: simple exponential smoothing, trend corrected exponential smoothing and a seasonal variation thereof. A common approach to selecting the method appropriate to a particular time series is based on prediction validation on a withheld part of the sample using criteria such as the mean absolute per...
