BUS 173 Lecture 11 Simple Moving Averages
Simple Average • Advantage? • Disadvantage? • Regression • Advantage? • Disadvantage? • Deviation • MAD/MAPE • MSE Covered in Last Class
Conditions • Stable time series (No significant trends) • Good for short-range forecasts • Two forms • Simple Moving Averages (SMA) • 3 period • 4 period • 5 period Smoothing methods
3 period M.A = 4 period M.A = 5 period M.A = Find out the 3, 4, 5 MA’s for the next example Simple Moving Averages
Which MA is the best possible forecast in this situation? • How do we find out the effectiveness of the forecasts • MAPE • MSE Assessing the Forecast
