estimates of what will happen in the future; this is the main purpose of forecasting. Some firms use subjective methods‚ seat-of-the pants methods‚ intuition‚ and experience. There are also several quantitative techniques‚ moving averages‚ exponential smoothing‚ trend projections‚ and least squares regression analysis. Eight steps to forecasting: * Determine the use of the forecast—what objective are we trying to obtain? * Select the items or quantities that are to be forecasted

weighted moving averages‚ exponential smoothing‚ and time series regression. For moving averages and weighted moving averages‚ use only the data for the past three fiscal years. For weighted moving averages‚ assign a value of 1 to the data for 20 X 2‚ a value of 2 to the data for 20 X 3‚ and a value of 3 to the data for 20 X 4. For exponential smoothing‚ assume that the last forecast for fiscal year 20 X 4 was $6‚300‚000. You decide on the alpha to be used for exponential smoothing. For time series regression

suitable technique to generate the forecast of unemployment rate using data from the series of Labour Force Surveys. The models understudied are based on Univariate Modelling Techniques i.e. Naïve with Trend Model‚ Average Change Model‚ Double Exponential Smoothing and Holt’s Method Model. These models are normally used to determine the short-term forecasts (one quarter ahead) by analyzing the pattern such as quarterly unemployment rates. The performances of the models are validated by retaining a portion
