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.

Exponential Smoothing Model

A time series forecasting method that applies weighted averages of past observations, decreasing exponentially as the observations get older.

Mean Square Error

A statistical measure used to evaluate the accuracy of a model by calculating the average squared difference between the estimated values and the actual value.

Smoothing Constant

A Smoothing Constant is a parameter used in exponential smoothing models for forecasting, which controls the weight given to the most recent observation.
