exponential smoothing over moving avrage? [4]
Moving Averages: Moving averages rank among the most popular techniques
for the preprocessing of time series. They are used to filter random "white noise"
from the data, to make the time series smoother or even to emphasize certain
informational components contained in the time series.
Exponential Smoothing: This is a very popular scheme to produce a smoothed
Time Series. Whereas in Moving Averages the past observations are weighted
equally, Exponential Smoothing assigns exponentially decreasing weights as the
observation get older. In other words, recent observations are given relatively
more weight in forecasting than the older observations. Double Exponential
Smoothing is better at handling trends. Triple Exponential Smoothing is better at
handling parabola trends.
Since moving average place a higher weighting on recent data than on older
data, they are more reactive to the latest price changes than exponential
smothing's are, which makes the results from EMAs more timely and explains
B. Identify some business applications in which judgmental forecasting techniques such as [CLO2; PLO 1]
historical analogy and the Delphi method would be useful. [4]

A polling company is looking to survey the opinions of political pundits to make
predictions about thelong-term ramifications of a partisan political climate.
B.
The analytics department of a baseball team uses past player data in order to
