After plotting demand for four periods, an emergency room manager has concluded that a trend-adjusted exponential smoothing model is appropriate to predict future demand. The initial estimate of trend is based on the net change of 19 for the three periods from 1 to 4, for an average of +6.33 units. Period Actual Period Actual 1 202 6 251 2 221 7 266 3 216 8 276 4 221 9 281 5 241 10 Use α=.50 and β=.10, and TAF of 245 for period 5. Obtain forecasts for periods 6 through 10. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.) t Period TAFt 6 7 8 9 10 pleaase show steps on how to solve
period: | 6 | α= | 0.4 | |
forecast= | 245.00 | β= | 0.05 | |
trend= | 6.330 | |||
smoothed forecast St =TAFt+α*(At-TAFt) | ||||
smoothed trend Tt =Tt-1+β(TAFt-TAFt-1-Tt-1) |
from given data :
Period | actual | St | Tt | Forecast(TAF) |
1 | 202 | |||
2 | 221 | |||
3 | 216 | |||
4 | 221 | 0 | ||
5 | 241 | 245.00 | ||
6 | 251 | 243.40 | 6.33 | 249.73 |
7 | 266 | 250.24 | 6.25 | 256.49 |
8 | 276 | 260.29 | 6.28 | 266.57 |
9 | 281 | 270.34 | 6.47 | 276.81 |
10 | 278.48 | 6.65 | 285.14 |
therefore :
t | TAF |
6 | 249.73 |
7 | 256.49 |
8 | 266.57 |
9 | 276.81 |
10 | 285.14 |
