I would choose to use the exponential smoothing forecast method. Exponential smoothing method is an average method that reacts more strongly to recent changes in demand than to more distant past data. Using this data will show how the forecast will react more strongly to immediate changes in the data. This is good to examine when dealing with seasonal patterns and trends that may be taking place. I would find this information very useful when examining the increased production of a product that

results from single phenotype analyses‚ and performing multivariate analysis for quantitative phenotypes. These methods can be extended for related samples. The authors proposed new approach to jointly evaluate a set of binary phenotypes for related samples because of the following motivations. First‚ joint analysis of multiple phenotypes may provide a gain in power and an increased precision of estimates compared to the univariate analysis. Second‚ unlike a

Method showed how the variances of individual stock returns and the correlations of those returns can be combined to calculate a value for the variance of a portfolio made up of those stocks. Based on the received data of possible asset allocation we were able to draw an efficient frontier. The efficient frontier is the curve that shows all efficient portfolios in a risk-return framework. The general solution to the shortcomings of the Markowitz method for estimate
