Basic Value

[#1]

Hi Experts,

I want to know the following terms. Please explain me with examples.

1. Basic Value: What do you mean by basic value? Is it the original history or do we get this by any calculation? If it is through any calculation then what kind of data we take into consideration to get basic value?

2. I have seen the formula as follows:

Basic(t), trend(t), seasonal(t) = Function(actual(t), basic(t-1), trend(t-1), seasonal(t-1s))

Forecast = Function(basic(t), trend(t), seasonal(t))

Can anyone explain this as I am in confusion about.

Thanks in advance

Suvecha,

Basic value is usually calculated by the system the first time you execute the forecast. It is calculated by the system in different ways, depending upon the model you use.
