Smoothing Models<br />

The Simple Moving Average report shows a time plot of the data <strong>and</strong> the fitted model. The red triangle<br />

menu has the following options:<br />

Add Model Select this option to fit another model. When additional models are fit, the model is added to<br />

the time plot of the data.<br />

Save to Data Table<br />

Saves the original data, <strong>and</strong> forecasts of all moving average models.<br />

Show Points<br />

Shows or hides the points on the plot.<br />

Connecting Lines<br />

Shows or hides the lines on the plot.<br />

Smoothing Model Dialog<br />

The Smoothing Model dialog appears in the report window when you select one of the smoothing model<br />

comm<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

The Confidence Intervals popup list allows you to set the confidence level for the forecast confidence<br />

b<strong>and</strong>s. The dialogs for seasonal smoothing models include a Periods Per Season box for setting the<br />

number of periods in a season. The Constraints popup list lets you to specify what type of constraint you<br />

want to enforce on the smoothing weights during the fit. The constraints are:<br />

Zero To One<br />

keeps the values of the smoothing weights in the range zero to one.<br />

Unconstrained<br />

Stable Invertible<br />

invertible.<br />

allows the parameters to range freely.<br />

constrains the parameters such that the equivalent ARIMA model is stable <strong>and</strong><br />

Custom exp<strong>and</strong>s the dialog to allow you to set constraints on individual smoothing weights. Each<br />

smoothing weight can be Bounded, Fixed, or Unconstrained as determined by the setting of the<br />

popup menu next to the weight’s name. When entering values for fixed or bounded weights, the values<br />

can be positive or negative real numbers.
