The Holt-Winters additive model is based on the equation ________.

A) F_{t + 1} = a_t + b_t + S_{t - s - 2}
B) F_{t + 1} = a_t + b_t + S_{t - s + 1}
C) F_{t + 1} = a_{t - 2} + b_t + S_{t - s - 2}
D) F_{t + 1} = a_t + b_{t -1} + S_{t - 2}

Holt-Winters Additive Model

A forecasting technique that captures seasonality, trend, and level in time series data, adding them together for prediction.

Exponential Smoothing

It is a rule of thumb technique for smoothing time series data using the exponential window function.

Additive Model

A statistical model where the effect of variables is linear and additive, assuming each variable contributes a separate and additive amount to the final outcome.
