Trend Analysis• Part of the variation in Y is believed
to be “explained” by the passage of time
• Several convenient models available in an Excel chart

In this spreadsheet model, the forecasts appear in column G.
Note that our model assumes that there is no trend. We use a default alpha of 0.10.

We use Solver to minimize RMSE by manipulating alpha.
After optimizing, we see that alpha is 0.350 (instead of 0.10). This makes an improvement in RMSE, from 4691 to 3653.

The most reasonable statistic for comparison is probably RMSE for smoothing models vs. standard error for regression models, as is reported here:
The regression models are superior most of the time (6 out of 10 revenue models and 7 out of 10 EPS models).

Time series characterized by relatively consistent trends and seasonality favor the regression model.If the trend and seasonality are not stable over time, then Winters’ method does a better job of responding to their changing patterns.
