Basic Forecasting Notation
n Yt = value of a time series at period t
n Ŷt = Forecast value of Yt
Ŷt+1 = Yt
Or
et = Yt – Ŷt
+ Another most common is the mean squared error (MSE), which is the
average of the squared errors:
n This approach is useful when the error relative to the respective size of the
time series value is important in evaluating the accuracy of the forecast.
