Example 3: Forecasting Using the Smooth Algorithm (Results)

This example shows how to forecast one period using the SMOOTH algorithm based on periods 001 and 002 in the CCCTAB table.

The following are the control statements you specify during batch processing:

VERSION = PRODABCD
ALGORITHM = SMOOTH
START_PERIOD = 1
END_PERIOD = 2
KEEP_STRUCTURE = 1
MODIFIER = NO
NUMBER_TO_FORECAST = 1
ALPHA = .1
DELTA = .1

After you submit the above control statements, CA PMA Chargeback generates the CCCMOD table. The results of the batch process display on the Overall Forecast Results panel as shown next.
