New Estimation Rules for Unknown Parameters on Holt-Winters Multiplicative Method
Journal Title: Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 49, Issue 2
Abstract
The Holt-Winters method is a well-known forecasting method used in time-series analysis to forecast future data when a trend and seasonal pattern is detected. There are two variations, i.e. the additive and the multiplicative method. Prior study by Vercher, et al. in [1] has shown that choosing the initial conditions is very important in exponential smoothing models, including the Holt-Winters method. Accurate estimates of initial conditions can result in better forecasting results. In this research, we propose new estimation rules for initial conditions for the Holt-Winters multiplicative method. The estimation rules were derived from the original initial conditions combined with the weighted moving average method. From the experimental results it was found that the new approach of the Holt-Winters multiplicative method can outperform the original Holt-Winters multiplicative method.

Regeneration of Plantlets Through PLB (Protocorm-Like Body) Formation in Phalaenopsis ‘Join Angle X Sogo Musadian’
Selection and regeneration of specific hybrids of Phalaenopsis typically takes a long time since this plant usually reproduces through seeds. This study was conducted to examine the best medium and explants for regenerat...
Error Assumptions on Generalized STAR Model
For GSTAR models, the least squares estimation method is commonly used since errors are assumed be uncorrelated. However, this method is not appropriate when errors are correlated, either in time or spatially. For these...
