About this title

Synopsis:

This book brings together all of the important new results on the state space framework for exponential smoothing. It gives an overview of current topics and develops new ideas that have not appeared in the academic literature.

From the Back Cover:

Exponential smoothing methods have been around since the 1950s, and are the most popular forecasting methods used in business and industry. Recently, exponential smoothing has been revolutionized with the introduction of a complete modeling framework incorporating innovations state space models, likelihood calculation, prediction intervals and procedures for model selection. In this book, all of the important results for this framework are brought together in a coherent manner with consistent notation. In addition, many new results and extensions are introduced and several application areas are examined in detail.
