Abstract
A parsimonious method of exponential smoothing is introduced for time serie s generated from a combination of local trends and local seasonal effects. It is compared with the additive version of the Holt-Winters method of fore casting on a standard collection of real time series. Copyright (C) 2001 Jo hn Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
