Consider the following gasoline time series data. Click on the datafile logo to reference the data. show the exponential smoothing forecasts using = 0.1. Applying the MSE measure of forecast accuracy, would you prefer a smoothing constant of = .1 or = .2 for the gasoline sales time series (to 2 decimals)? MSE for = .1 9.25 MSE for = .2 8.98 Are the results the same if you apply MAE as the measure of accuracy (to 2 decimals)? MAE for = .1 2.57 MAE for = .2 2.57 What are the results if MAPE is used (to 2 decimals)? MAPE for = .1 12.95 % MAPE for = .2 12.95 % I am getting values mixed up for MAE and MAPE for the data set. Please help.
