Techniques for Seasonality • Seasonal variations • Regularly repeating movements in series values that can be tied to recurring events. • Seasonal relative • Percentage of average or trend • Centered moving average • A moving average positioned at the center of the data that were used to compute it.
Seasonality • Short-term cyclical, not random, change in demand • Measurement: • Relative to overall amount • Seasonal Index • Estimated using Centered Moving Average (CMA) Question: What does SI tell us about the season if SI = 1.2? 0.8?
Seasonality Average of months 2 & 5
Seasonality • Even number of periods per cycle: • Average periods 1-4; • Average periods 2-5; • Average the 2 averages. Avg of 2 averages centered at 3 Avg of 1-4 centered between 2-3 Avg of 2-5 centered between 3-4
Dealing with Trend & Seasonality • Estimate seasonal indexes using CMA • Deseasonalize demand data by dividing demand with seasonal indexes • Estimate trend based on deseasonalized data using either TAF or Linear Trend Equation • Project the trend to the future • Forecast by multiplying trend values with seasonal indexes
