14 What is a Time Series? Set of evenly spaced numerical data Obtained by observing response variable at regular time periods Forecast based only on past values Assumes that factors influencing past, present, & future will continue Example Year: Sales:

15 Time Series vs. Cross Sectional Data Time series data is a sequence of observations collected from a process with equally spaced periods of time.

16 Time Series vs. Cross Sectional Data Contrary to restrictions placed on cross-sectional data, the major purpose of forecasting with time series is to extrapolate beyond the range of the explanatory variables.

17 Time Series vs. Cross Sectional Data Time series is dynamic, it does change over time.

18 Time Series vs. Cross Sectional Data When working with time series data, it is paramount that the data is plotted so the researcher can view the data.

19 Time Series Components

20 Time Series Components Trend

21 Time Series Components Trend Cyclical

22 Time Series Components Trend Cyclical Seasonal

23 Time Series Components Trend Cyclical Seasonal Irregular

24 Trend Component Persistent, overall upward or downward pattern Due to population, technology etc. Several years duration Response Mo., Qtr., Yr T/Maker Co.

25 Trend Component Overall Upward or Downward Movement Data Taken Over a Period of Years Sales Time

26 Cyclical Component Repeating up & down movements Due to interactions of factors influencing economy Usually 2-10 years duration Response Cycle Mo., Qtr., Yr.

27 Cyclical Component Upward or Downward Swings May Vary in Length Usually Lasts 2-10 Years Sales Time

28 Seasonal Component Regular pattern of up & down fluctuations Due to weather, customs etc. Occurs within one year Response Summer T/Maker Co. Mo., Qtr.

29 Seasonal Component Upward or Downward Swings Regular Patterns Observed Within One Year Sales Time (Monthly or Quarterly)

30 Irregular Component Erratic, unsystematic, residual fluctuations Due to random variation or unforeseen events Union strike War Short duration & nonrepeating T/Maker Co.

31 Random or Irregular Component Erratic, Nonsystematic, Random, Residual Fluctuations Due to Random Variations of Nature Accidents Short Duration and Non-repeating

43 Moving Average Method Series of arithmetic means Used only for smoothing Provides overall impression of data over time

44 Moving Average Method Series of arithmetic means Used only for smoothing Provides overall impression of data over time Used for elementary forecasting

45 Moving Average Graph Sales Year Actual

46 Moving Average [An Example] You work for Firestone Tire. You want to smooth random fluctuations using a 3-period moving average , , , , ,000

47 Moving Average [Solution] Year Sales MA(3) in 1, ,000 NA ,000 ( )/3 = ,000 ( )/3 = ,000 ( )/3 = ,000 NA

48 Moving Average Year Response Moving Ave Sales NA NA

49 Exponential Smoothing Method

51 Exponential Smoothing Method Form of weighted moving average Weights decline exponentially Most recent data weighted most Requires smoothing constant (W) Ranges from 0 to 1 Subjectively chosen Involves little record keeping of past data

52 Exponential Smoothing [An Example] You re organizing a Kwanza meeting. You want to forecast attendance for 1998 using exponential smoothing (α =.20). Past attendance (00) is: Corel Corp.

53 Exponential Smoothing E i = WY i + (1 - W)E i-1 Smoothed Value, E Time Y i i (W =.2) Forecast ^ Y i NA (.2)(6) + (1-.2)(4.0) = (.2)(5) + (1-.2)(4.4) = (.2)(3) + (1-.2)(4.5) = (.2)(7) + (1-.2)(4.2) = NA NA 4.8

54 Exponential Smoothing Attendance [Graph] Year Actual

55 W is... Prior Period Forecast Effect of Smoothing Coefficient (W) ^ Y i+1 = WY i + W(1-W)Y i-1 + W(1-W) 2 Y i Weight 2 Periods Ago 3 Periods Ago W W(1-W) W(1-W) % 9% 8.1% % 9% 0.9%
