Additive and Multiplicative
Additive and Multiplicative
In a time-series decomposition of sales (in millions of units), the following trend has been estimated:
CMAT = 4.7 + 0.37(T)
Quarter Seasonal Index, Time Index, Cycle Index, Actual Sales,
1 1.24 21 1.01 17.2
2 1.01 22 1.04 13.2
3 0.76 23 1.06 10.8 St->SI
4 0.99 24 1.04 14.2 Tt->CF
a. Prepare a forecast (find Y^-expected Y) for each quarter of the coming year using multiplicative
decomposition model.
b. Prepare a forecast for each quarter of the coming year using additive decomposition model.
c. Use the actual sales along with your forecasts to calculate the root-mean-squared error (RMSE)
for the forecast period.
Et -> CMAT
Quarter Seasonal Index, Time Index, Cycle Index, CMAT = 4.7 + 0.37(T) Forecast-Y^ = Forecast =
1 1.24 21 1.01 12.47 15.62 14.72
2 1.01 22 1.04 12.84 13.49 14.89
3 0.76 23 1.06 13.21 10.64 15.03
4 0.99 24 1.04 13.58 13.98 15.61
