First Trust Preferred's Triple Exponential Smoothing reference page covers the model's projected value and error measures from recent price data. The forecast output and associated deviation metrics are shown for informational use.
The Triple Exponential Smoothing forecasted value of First Trust Preferred on the next trading day is expected to be 17.73 with a mean absolute deviation of 0.03 and the sum of the absolute errors of 1.89.As with simple exponential smoothing, in triple exponential smoothing models past First Trust observations are given exponentially smaller weights as the observations get older. In other words, recent observations are given relatively more weight in forecasting than the older First Trust Preferred observations. All Triple Exponential Smoothing forecast figures shown for First Trust Preferred are reference data reflecting model output based on available historical prices.
Triple exponential smoothing for First Trust - also known as the Winters method - is a refinement of the popular double exponential smoothing model with the addition of periodicity (seasonality) component. Simple exponential smoothing technique works best with data where there are no trend or seasonality components to the data. When First Trust prices exhibit either an increasing or decreasing trend over time, simple exponential smoothing forecasts tend to lag behind observations. Double exponential smoothing is designed to address this type of data series by taking into account any trend in First Trust price movement. However, neither of these exponential smoothing models address any seasonality of First Trust Preferred.
