This Triple Exponential Smoothing reference page for TIAA Cref Lifecycle Index presents model-generated forecast data based on historical daily prices. The output values and deviation metrics are provided for informational reference.
The Triple Exponential Smoothing forecasted value of TIAA Cref Lifecycle Index on the next trading day is expected to be 16.82 with a mean absolute deviation of 0.05 and the sum of the absolute errors of 2.66.As with simple exponential smoothing, in triple exponential smoothing models past TIAA-CREF LIFECYCLE 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 TIAA Cref Lifecycle Index observations. All Triple Exponential Smoothing forecast figures shown for TIAA Cref Lifecycle Index are reference data reflecting model output based on available historical prices.
Triple exponential smoothing for TIAA-CREF LIFECYCLE - 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 TIAA-CREF LIFECYCLE 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 TIAA-CREF LIFECYCLE price movement. However, neither of these exponential smoothing models address any seasonality of TIAA Cref Lifecycle.
