Chapter 5, Problem 1.6CE
Estimate the double-log (log linear) time trend model for log cruise ship arrivals against log time. Estimate a linear time trend model of cruise ship arrivals against time. Calculate the root mean square error between the predicted and actual value of cruise ship arrivals. Is the root mean square error greater for the double log non-linear time trend model or for the linear time trend model?

Question 3
The number of tons of brake assemblies received at an auto parts distribution center last month was 625.
The forecast tonnage was 650 for last month. The company uses a simple exponential smoothing model with
a smoothing constant of 0.46 to develop its forecasts. What will be the company's forecast for the next
month?

The researcher uses 3 different forecasting models: A, B and C. Model A is an AR(1) model with no drift and with an estimated autoregressive coefficient = 0.7. Model B is a MA(1) model with no constant and with an estimated MA coefficient = -0.4 (note the minus !). Model C is a random walk model with no drift.
