Single Exponential Smoothing Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Single Exponential Smoothing?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

Ft = α \cdot D t-1 + (1 - α) \cdot F t-1

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

Ft = 0.2 \cdot 44 + (1 - 0.2) \cdot 39

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

Ft = 0.2 \cdot 44 + (1 - 0.2) \cdot 39

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

Ft = 40

Smooth_Averaged_Forecast_for_Period_t

Smooth_Averaged_Forecast_for_Period_t is the recent observation that is given relatively more weight in forecasting than the older observations.

Symbol: Ft

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Note: Value can be positive or negative.

Formulas to find Smooth_Averaged_Forecast_for_Period_t

Smoothing Constant

A smoothing constant is a variable used in time series analysis based on exponential smoothing. The higher the smoothing constant, the greater weight assigned to the values from the latest period.

Symbol: α

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.

Formulas to find Smoothing Constant

Previous Observed Value

The Previous observed Value is the real value from data at time t-1 based on which predictions will be made.

Symbol: D_t-1

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Note: Value can be positive or negative.

Formulas to find Previous Observed Value

Previous Period Forecast

The Previous Period Forecast is the older observed forecasted value that is relatively less weight than the future prediction.

Symbol: F_t-1

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Note: Value can be positive or negative.
