Time Series vs Cross-Sectional Data

Time Series Data:

A crucial component of the data is data that has been gathered across intervals of time that are equally spaced apart.

Cross-sectional Data:

Data that can be collected at a single point of time.

Forecasting is the use of various modeling techniques to predict a future outcome on the basis of historical time series data.

Forecasting Model

Forecasting

  • Linear Regression
  • Autoregressive models
  • ARIMA
  • Logistic regression
  • Econometric models
Forecasting
  • Naïve forecasts
  • Smoothing
  • Neural nets



Forecasting

Smoothing Techniques

Moving Average

  • Centered Moving Average
  • Trailing Moving Average

Exponential Smoothing

  • Simple Exponential Smoothing
  • Holt's Method/ Double Exponential Smoothing
  • Winter’s Method

Forecasting

Moving Average Exponential Smoothing
Assigns equal weights to all past observations Assigns more weight to recent observations than past observations
Better to forecast when data & environment is not volatile Better to forecast when data & environment is volatile
Window width is key to success Smoothing constant (α, β, γ) value is key to success (0 < α, β, γ ≤ 1)
