Smoothing Parameters

Smoothing parameters are entered in the middle block on the forecasting form.   Parameter values must be between 0.0 and 1.0.  NOTE: not all parameter values are required for some methods.  For example, Winters’ technique requires all three (alpha, beta, and gamma), while single unadjusted exponential smoothing only requires alpha.  For more information see the discussion on Exponential Smoothing Methods.
