We'll use a model selection/forecasting set of about 24 months each, a plausible period of time for an airline to forecast demand. Forecast error in time period t (Et) is the actual value constant . The error variance for the \(k\) steps ahead forecast has the general form, \[\mathrm{Var}[e_{n}(k)]=\sigma^{2}_{z}\sum_{i=0}^{k-1}\theta_{i}^{2}\]. series models and associated forecasting methods; (2) show how such models and methods can be implemented on a spreadsheet to analyse time series data; (3) give an appreciation of the different fields of application of time series analysis and forecasting; and (4) convey the value of such 1 11 Since we are interested in measuring the \hat{x}_{n}(1)&=&\mathbb{E}[X_{n+1}|X_{n},X_{n-1},\ldots,X_{1}]\nonumber\\ this case. 9 460.43 demand for period 1 would be shown as Y1. Since the stating this is that 97.5% of the observations fall below 518 (when • forecasting or prediction - given a sample from the series, forecast the next value, or the next few values • control - adjust various control parameters to make the series fit closer to a target • adjustment - in a linear model the errors could form a time series of cor-related observations, and we might want to adjust estimated . 2 manager some judgment input capability.

It can be shown that given a time series \((x_{1},\ldots,x_{n})\), the \(k\) steps ahead forecast that is optimal in a mean square error sense is, \[\hat{x}_{n}(k)=\mathbb{E}[X_{n+k}|X_{n},X_{n-1},\ldots,X_{1}],\].

Whatever the circumstances or time horizons involved, forecasting is an essential aid to effective and efficient planning. In Section 2.3 we discussed three types of time series patterns: trend, seasonality and cycles.
