Chapter 14.2, Problem 14.17ACB
Annual U.S. craft beer production. Refer to the annual U.S. craft beer production time series, Exercise 14.7 (p. 14-10).
a. Calculate the exponentially smoothed series for U.S. beer production for the period 2004-2015 using w = .2.
b. Calculate the exponentially smoothed series using w = .8.
c. Plot the two exponentially smoothed series (w = .2 and w = .8) on the same graph. Which smoothed series best portrays the long-term trend?

Prepare a time-series plot of the data, and visually inspect that plot to determine the characteristics you see in this series.
Use an exponential smoothing model to develop a forecast of sales for the next 12 months, and explain why you selected that model. Plot the actual and forecast values. Determine the MAPE for your model during the historical period.
b. Use a = 0.2 to compute the exponential smoothing forecasts for the time series (to 2 decimals).
