Time Series Analysis Variable of interest Ardavan Asef-Vaziri
Components of an Observation Observed variable (O) = Systematic component (S) + Random component (R) Level (current deseasonalized ) Trend (growth or decline) Seasonality (predictable seasonal fluctuation) • Systematic component: Expected value of the variable • Random component: The part of the forecast that deviates from the systematic component • Forecast error: difference between forecast and actual demand Ardavan Asef-Vaziri
Naive Forecast F(t+1) = At At : Actual valued in period t F(t+1) : Forecast for period t+1 The naive forecast can also serve as an accuracy standard for other techniques. Ardavan Asef-Vaziri
Moving Average Three period moving average in period 7 is the average of: MA73 = (A7+ A6+ A5 )/3 Ten period moving average in period t is the average of: MAt10 = (At+ At-1+ At-2 +At-3+ ….+ At-9 )/10 n period moving average in period t is the average of: MAtn = (At+ At-1+ At-2 +At-3+ ….+ At-n+1 )/n Forecast for period t+1 is equal to moving average for period t Ft+1 =MAtn Ardavan Asef-Vaziri
4-Period Moving Average at period 20, and 21 The Actual cost of a specific task type for periods 17-20 was 600, 700, 680, 720, respectively MA420 = (A20+A19+A18+A17)/4 MA420 = (720+680+700+600)/4 = 675 It was used as forecast for period 21. The actual values in period 21 is 800 MA421 = (A21+A20+A19+A18)/4 MA421 = (800+720+680+700)/4=725 MA421 = 675 +(800- 600) /4=725 MA421 = MA420 +(A21- A17)/4 Ardavan Asef-Vaziri

Other Measures of Forecast Error • Mean Square Error (MSE) • An estimate of the variance of the forecast error • Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) Ardavan Asef-Vaziri
Measures of Forecast Error (MAD) Ardavan Asef-Vaziri
Measures of Forecast Error (MAR) Et = At/Ft-1 Ardavan Asef-Vaziri
FourBasic Characteristics of Forecasts • Forecasts are rarely perfect because of randomness. • Beside the average, we also need a measure of variation, which is called standard deviation • Forecasts are more accurate for groups of items than for individuals. • Forecast accuracy decreases as the time horizon increases.
