Use the information below to produce the Simple Exponential Smoothing forecast assuming Alpha=0.1. Enter period 4's forecasted value below. The initialization value for period 1 is given as the actual value for period 1. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g., 1.23).
Alpha=0.1
Period | X | SES |
1 | 9.2 | 9.2 |
2 | 8.3 | |
3 | 8.1 | |
4 | ? |
Exponential smoothing forecasting for current period = (At-1* alpha)+(Ft-1 *(1-alpha)
Alpha = 0.1
Period | X | SES |
1 | 9.2 | 9.2 |
2 | 8.3 | =(9.2*0.1)+(9.2*(1-0.1)) |
3 | 8.1 | =(8.2*0.1)+(9.2*(1-0.1)) |
4 | =(8.1*0.1)+(C4*(1-0.1)) |
Period | X | SES |
1 | 9.2 | 9.2 |
2 | 8.3 | 9.2 |
3 | 8.1 | 9.1 |
4 | 9 |
Answer
Period | X | SES |
1 | 9.2 | 9.2 |
2 | 8.3 | |
3 | 8.1 | |
4 | 9 |
