2 Mehods and Models Forecasing Mehod A (numerical) procedure for generaing a forecas. eg Take he average of all observaions up o (and including) ime, as a forecas for ime 1. 1 yˆ 1 = yi Forecasing Model A saisical descripion of he daa generaing process. eg All observaions are cenred around an unchanging mean (μ) wih a normally disribued i.i.d. noise erm ( ε ~ N(0, V )) wih zero mean and consan variance (V). = µ ε y i= 1 Slide 2 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

3 Link beween Models and Mehods Heurisic Mehods (No Link) These are mehods ha have been designed wihou reference o saisical models and have no link o such models. eg Simple Moving Averages (see laer slides). Model-Based Mehods (Linked) These are mehods which do link o an explici saisical model and give he bes forecas if he model holds. eg Simple Exponenial Smoohing (see laer slides). eg Average of all observaions links o he model on he previous slide. y = µ ε Slide 3 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

4 Arihmeic Mean yˆ 1 = 1 i= 1 y i Gives equal weigh o all observaions Has longes possible memory. Reduces noise, as he random flucuaions end o cancel ou. The more daa is available, he longer he average, and he beer he esimaion of he mean level. If he model y = µ ε has held in he pas, and coninues o hold over he forecas horizon, hen he Arihmeic Mean is he bes forecas for ime 1. Wha forecas should be used for ime 2? Slide 4 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

5 Forecasing wih he Arihmeic Mean y ˆ = y y ˆ3 2 = ( y1 y2) / sep-ahead forecass: yˆ yˆ y ˆ 2 1, 3 2,..., sep-ahead f/cass: yˆ yˆ y ˆ 85 84, 86 84,..., Unis Monh Forecas becomes more sable as ime progresses If model holds, forecas accuracy depends on level of noise in he model error erm Slide 5 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

6 Arihmeic Mean and Ouliers Acuals Arihmeic Mean Oulier The Arihmeic Mean becomes more robus o ouliers as he lengh of hisory grows. The weigh given o he oulier is only 1/, where is he lengh of he hisory used in calculaing he mean. Slide 6 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

7 Arihmeic Mean and Level Shifs Acuals Arihmeic Mean Level Shif occurs here The Arihmeic Mean is poor a handling level shifs. The mehod has a long memory. I canno forge he previous level and adus o he new level wihin a reasonable period of ime. Slide 7 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

8 Random Walk Model y = y 1 ε Mean level no longer consan (see graph) The nex noise erm ( ε 1 ) is no forecasable a ime Bes forecas of is o use he laes observaion ( ) y 1 y Slide 8 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

9 Naïve Forecas y ˆ = 1 y Unis Monh Naïve does no filer he noise - i copies he noise. Arihmeic Mean good a filering noise bu unresponsive o level shifs. The Naïve mehod is he opposie. Slide 9 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

10 Alernaive Approach: Simple Moving Averages Gives equal weigh o all of he las N observaions in he average: yˆ 1 = 1 N y i i= N 1 Memory depends on lengh of Simple Moving Average Unlike Arihmeic Mean and Naïve mehods, he Simple Moving Average has a parameer (N) ha needs o be deermined. Higher N values filer noise beer bu respond more slowly o level shifs. Mehod is no model-based bu may sill perform more accuraely han some model-based mehods (eg Naïve). Slide 10 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

11 Difference beween Simple and Cenred Moving Average Simple Moving Average Simple Moving Average (SMA) of lengh 3 akes he average of he firs hree observaions as a forecas for he fourh period. Cenred Moving Average (CMA) of lengh 3 akes he average of he firs hree observaions as an esimae of he underlying model a he second period. Slide 11 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

12 Effec of Lengh of SMA Unis Acuals SMA(6) SMA(12) SMA(24) Monh Differen lenghs of SMA may produce quie differen forecass. Bes choice of lengh depends on wheher i is more imporan o filer noise or respond o level shifs. Slide 12 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

13 SMA and Ouliers Acuals SMA(6) SMA(12) SMA(24) Robusness of SMA o ouliers depends on lengh of SMA The longer he SMA, he more robus is he forecas o oulying observaions. Slide 13 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

14 SMA and Level Shifs Acuals MA(6) MA(12) MA(24) Adapaion of SMA o level shifs depends on lengh of SMA I will ake N periods for an SMA o fully adap o a new level (where N is he lengh of he SMA). Slide 14 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

15 Choice of Lengh (Order) of SMA Bes lengh of SMA no known in advance Times series graph may give some clues bu canno deermine bes lengh of SMA from his alone. Need o compare accuracy of SMA using differen lenghs. We experimen on pas daa, bu only using daa ha would have been available a he ime o calculae our forecass. Issues o resolve 1. Wha error measure? 2. How many seps-ahead? 3. Over wha ime period? Slide 15 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

16 Error Measures (h-sep-ahead forecass) Slide 16 Mean Squared Error (MSE) Mean Absolue Error (MAE) = = = = ) ˆ ( 1 1 m m h h h y y m e m MSE = = = = ˆ 1 1 m m h h h y y m e m MAE NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing Mean Absolue Percenage Error (MAPE) = = = = ˆ m m h h h h h y y y m y e m MAPE

17 1. Choice of Error Measure o deermine lengh of SMA Mos common choice is MSE. MSE is he error measure used in imes series heory o link models o mehods which are opimal (Minimum Mean Square Error, MMSE) for ha model. This is wha was mean by bes forecas in earlier slides. MSE also links o he AIC measure for model selecion (discussed laer). However, resuls can be sensiive o oulying observaions. Slide 17 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

18 2. Choice of Forecas Horizon (h) o deermine lengh of SMA Mos common choice is one-sep-ahead. If we are only ineresed in (say) 3-sep-ahead errors, hen we may minimise MSE for 3-sep-ahead forecass. Ofen, we are ineresed in 1-sep, 2-sep and 3-sepahead errors (say). Then minimising MSE for 1-sep-ahead forecass sands in for he oher wo horizons. Alernaive approaches, aking ino accoun all he relevan horizons, are currenly being researched by he Lancaser Cenre for Forecasing. Slide 18 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

19 3. Choice of Time Period over which o deermine lengh of SMA US expors of upper and lining leaher In-sample Ou-of-sample Unis Daa In-sample forecas Ou-of-sample forecas Forecas origin 2000 Jan77 Jan79 Jan81 Jan83 Jan85 Jan87 Monh Divide hisory ino in-sample (raining se) and ou-ofsample (es se). Use in-sample o deermine lengh of SMA Use ou-of-sample o compare SMA wih oher mehods Slide 19 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

Two addiional series High Noise, and High Noise wih Level Shif are in Columns B and D. Slide 20 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

21 Fixed Forecass and Rolling Forecass in Ou-of-Sample US expors of upper and lining leaher In-sample Ou-of-sample Unis Daa In-sample forecas Ou-of-sample forecas Forecas origin 2000 Jan77 Jan79 Jan81 Jan83 Jan85 Jan87 Monh Graph shows fixed forecass, made a he Forecas Origin (ie one 1-sep-ahead f/cas, one 2-sep-ahead f/cas ec). Rolling forecass are made a he Origin, hen a he Origin plus one period, Origin plus wo periods ec. Slide 21 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

22 Fixed Forecass Spli beween In-Sample and Ou-of-Sample Accuracy will be assessed for all forecas horizons ou-ofsample, wih each f/cas made a he Forecas Origin. So, ou-of-sample lengh should be se o be equal o he longes forecas horizon. Rolling Forecass Trade off beween: 1. Longer in-sample lenghs allow more accurae assessmen of he opimal parameer (lengh of SMA). 2. Longer ou-of-sample lenghs allow for more accurae comparisons of differen mehods if using Rolling Forecass. Slide 22 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

23 Daa Spliing in EXCEL Daa Spliing Exercise Open spreadshee a 2nd ab (2. Daa Spliing) Experimen wih differen In-sample sizes (Cell K2, or use he slider bar below) for boh: Medium Noise Medium Noise wih Level Shif. Wha effec would changing he In-sample size have on esimaion of lengh of SMA in he Training Se and evaluaion of forecas accuracy in he Tes Se? Slide 23 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

24 Simple Exponenial Smoohing (SES) Suppose daa does no have seasonaliy or sysemaic rend Daa may have ouliers and/or level shifs. Exponenial Smoohing aduss he las forecas by a fracion (α) of he las forecas error: = yˆ 1 1 αe Example Previous Forecas = 100 Previous Acual = 90 Previous Error = -10 Smoohing Consan (α) = 0.2 New Forecas = 100 (0.2 x (-10)) = 98 yˆ Slide 24 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

25 SES: Error Correcion & Sandard Forms Error Correcion Form yˆ = yˆ 1 1 αe e = y ˆ y 1 Sandard Form Subsiue for he error expression in Error Correcion Form: yˆ yˆ ˆ ˆ 1 = y 1 αy αy 1 ˆ 1 = αy (1 α) y 1 This is a weighed average of he las acual and las forecas. Slide 25 MSCI 523 Exponenial Smoohing

27 SES in EXCEL SES Exercise Make sure you have he Solver Add-In (File, Opions, Add-Ins, Solver Add-In, OK) Open spreadshee a 6h ab: 6. Exponenial Smoohing) Selec Medium Noise wih Level Shif a 2 nd ab and hen reurn o 6 h ab. Inpu 24 o Cell X3 (In Sample Size). Iniialise forecas (naïve) in Cell C3 Calculae Training Se 1-sep-ahead forecass (C4:C26) Noe ha Tes Se forecass are all he same as C26. Experimen wih differen alpha values (Cell P3) Opimise alpha, and check Tes Se accuracy Slide 27 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

28 How SES addresses Noise Low smoohing consans (alpha values) filer noise. High smoohing consans have lile filering effec. BUT: high smoohing consans reac more quickly o level shifs. Slide 28 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

29 SES and Trended Series Alpha = 0.2 Alpha = 0.7 UK Gross Domesic Produc: chained volume measures UK Gross Domesic Produc: chained volume measures GDP GDP Year Year Wih a low alpha, SES does no keep up wih rend and produces a poor forecas. Wih a high alpha, SES keeps up beer, bu is no filering he noise well and produces a forecas ha could be improved. Slide 29 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

30 SES and Seasonal Series Alpha = 0.2 Alpha = UK Hourly Elecriciy Demand UK Hourly Elecriciy Demand Demand Demand /26/0810/27/08 10/28/0810/29/08 10/30/0810/31/08 10/26/08 Day /26/0810/27/08 10/28/0810/29/08 10/30/0810/31/08 10/26/08 Day Wih a low alpha, seasonaliy is no capured. Wih a high alpha, he noise is no smoohed AND he seasonal paern is ou by one period. In boh cases, he forecass are poor. Slide 30 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

31 Is SES a Model-Based Mehod? I is someimes saed ha SES is an ad hoc or heurisic mehod, lacking a model-based foundaion. This is wrong! I is rue ha when SES was firs proposed, he mehod lacked a model foundaion. Since hen, wo model forms have been found o underpin SES: ARIMA(0,1,1) Model Sae Space Local Level Model Model formulaions become useful when looking a a whole family of Exponenial Smoohing models (including rend and seasonaliy). Slide 31 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing

32 Summary Arihmeic Mean robus o ouliers bu very slow o respond o level shifs. Naïve responds immediaely o level shifs bu does no filer noise. Simple Moving Average (SMA) may be a good compromise bu is no par of a wider family of model-based mehods. Simple Exponenial Smoohing (SES) allows suiable weighs o be idenified for pas daa and is par of a wider family of model-based mehods. Slide 32 NATCOR Exponenial Smoohing
