Annual U.S. craft beer production (cont’d). Refer to the beer production forecasts, Exercise 14.25 (p. 14-24). In part b you obtained forecasts of 2014 and 2015 craft beer production using Holt’s method with (w = .3. v = .7) and (w= .7, v = .3).
a. Calculate the forecast errors for the w = .3, v = .7 Holt forecasts.
b. Calculate the forecast errors for the w= .7, v = .3 Holt forecasts.
c Calculate MAD, MAPE, and RMSE for the w= .3, v = .7 Holt forecasts.
d. Calculate MAD, MAPE, and RMSE for the w= .7, v = .3 Holt forecasts.
e. Refer to parts c and d. Which forecast method do you recommend?
