Quantitative Decision Making 7th ed By Lapin and Whisler Section 7.5: Forecasting Using Seasonal indices
Recall: Classical Time Series Model • Yt= Tt·Ct·St·It • Tt: The trend component • Ct: The cyclic component • St: The seasonal component • It: The irregular component
Isolate trend and cyclical elements together. Four-quarter moving averages Ratio-to-moving-average method
Add up the first four values in a time series, then divide by four. Repeat this computation, but the initial quarter is dropped and the fifth is added. Continue this process until you run out of new quarters. Finding a four quarter moving average
Removing the irregular component with the median percentage of moving average
