Keywords:
double exponential smoothing; exponential smoothing; Holt’s method; Holt-Winters method; irregular time intervals; missing observations; time series
Summary:
Various types of exponential smoothing for data observed at irregular time intervals are surveyed. Double exponential smoothing and some modifications of Holt’s method for this type of data are suggested. A real data example compares double exponential smoothing and Wright’s modification of Holt’s method for data observed at irregular time intervals.
