Triple exponential smoothing for Microsoft - 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 Microsoft 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 Microsoft price movement. However, neither of these exponential smoothing models address any seasonality of Microsoft.

Microsoft Triple Exponential Smoothing Price Forecast For the 21st of December

Given 90 days horizon, the Triple Exponential Smoothing forecasted value of Microsoft on the next trading day is expected to be 421.76 with a mean absolute deviation of 4.10, mean absolute percentage error of 38.04, and the sum of the absolute errors of 242.17.
Please note that although there have been many attempts to predict Microsoft Stock prices using its time series forecasting, we generally do not recommend using it to place bets in the real market. The most commonly used models for forecasting predictions are the autoregressive models, which specify that Microsoft's next future price depends linearly on its previous prices and some stochastic term (i.e., imperfectly predictable multiplier).

Model Predictive Factors

The below table displays some essential indicators generated by the model showing the Triple Exponential Smoothing forecasting method's relative quality and the estimations of the prediction error of Microsoft stock data series using in forecasting. Note that when a statistical model is used to represent Microsoft stock, the representation will rarely be exact; so some information will be lost using the model to explain the process. AIC estimates the relative amount of information lost by a given model: the less information a model loses, the higher its quality.

As with simple exponential smoothing, in triple exponential smoothing models past Microsoft 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 Microsoft observations.
