FORECAST.ETS applies an exponential triple smoothing (ETS) algorithm to create forecasts that can include trend and seasonal ...

The damped trend method of exponential smoothing is a benchmark that has been difficult to beat in empirical studies of forecast accuracy. One explanation for this success is the flexibility of the ...
