Abstract
- One of the measurements for evaluating time series forecasting performances is the mean square error (MSE). This paper proposes an algorithm to find the smallest MSE. To capture the four components of the time series data (namely, seasonal variation, trend variation, cyclical variation, and random variation), the exponential smoothing method was used. This method uses three factors for smoothing where the data are the smoothing factor, 0 < α < 1, the trend smoothing factor, 0 < γ < 1, and the seasonal change smoothing factor, 0 < β < 1. First, all possible combination values of smoothing factors will be generated to one decimal digit. After that, the smallest MSE of those combinations will be determined by using an algorithm and observing their convergence pattern. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
