Question

Consider the following time series data.

Using the naïve method (most recent value) as the forecast for the next week, compute the following measures of forecast accuracy:

Mean absolute error (MAE)

Mean squared error (MSE)

Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE)

Round your answers to two decimal places.

MAE =

MSE =

MAPE =

Using the average of all the historical data as a forecast for the next period, compute the same three values. Round your answers to two decimal places.

MAE =

MSE =

MAPE =

Week 1 2 3 4 5 6 Value 19 12 15 11 17 15

Explanation / Answer

using naive method

MAE =sum(|y-y^|)/n=22/5=4.4

MSE =sum(|y-y^|)2/n=114/5=22.8

MAPE =(100*|y-y^|/y)n=163.32/5=32.66

(second part) using average method

MAE =1.83

MSE =5.49

MAPE =14.69
