Similarities:
Both methods are appropriate for stationary time series
Both methods depend only on a single parameter
Differences:
ES carries all past history. MA eliminates bad data after N periods
For implementation, MA requires storing N past data points while ES
can be implemented knowing only the last forecast and the last
observation.
Finally, if there is some trend in Data, we can fit trend line and adjust
its slope by exponential smoothing.
