To analyze the data using exponential smoothing Ft is the exponentially smoothed forecast period for period t, Ft-1 is the exponentially smoothed forecast made for the prior period, At-1 is the actual demand in the prior period and, alpha is a value between 0 and 1.
Kuchambua data kwa kutumia kielelezo Ng’ombe Ft ni exponentially smoothed utabiri kipindi kwa kipindi t, Ft-1 ni utabiri exponentially alisawazisha kwa ajili ya kipindi kabla, At-1 ni mahitaji halisi katika kipindi kabla na, alpha ni thamani kati ya 0 na 1.
