Calculate Forecasting Results With Weighted Moving Averages And Exponential Smoothing
Question
A teacher wanted her students; X, Y, and Z, to forecast the demand for January 2016 and give two measures of performance of their forecasts. More specifically, she wanted each student to distinctly select one of three forecasting methods (two students cannot select the same method); simple moving averages of order k, exponential smoothing, or weighted moving averages, and the required measures are Cumulative Error and MAD using the data below:

I used to have nightmares about my C++ and Java programming assignments. I never could ever wrap my head around the object oriented programming languages till I came across HwA. Their programming tutors by far the best in the industry and they helped me get excellent scores.

I am pursuing my masters in finance management from the Singapore Management University. Even though I have a clear idea of most of the concepts of finance from my undergraduate days, I was still looking for some guidance and help with my finance assignment. I had benefited greatly during my undergraduate days from the online finance tutor at HelpWithAssignment so I decided to contact them again and since then have not looked back.

Operations management was my minor during my MBA but I faced much challenges with the problems and assignments. So once when I was stuck with my supply chain management assignment my friend Joan told me about this website. The feedback I got from them was very positive and the assignment was also very well done. All the calculations and the charts were displayed in proper manner and from then onwards I constantly took help from them.

"I knew my research proposal needs to be fantastic to create the first impression. I am a regular client of HelpWithAssingment.com and things worked out fine. Not only did they help me identify the topic but also at the same time they wrote a fantastic research proposal which had impressed my professor very much

I was very impressed by the time and effort that was given by the economics assignment expert for my Keynesian Multiplier Model Assignment essay. He was available at any time of the day to help provide answers for any queries I might have had with the topic. He also never complained about any changes or inclusions that I would suggest. My experience with HwA has been definitely a lot better than the other online assignment help provider services.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
