question 54

Essay

Quarterly sales of a department store for the last seven years are given in the following table. Quarterly sales of a department store for the last seven years are given in the following table.     The Excel scatterplot shown indicates that the quarterly sales have an increasing trend and seasonality.Therefore,the linear regression model,Sales = β<sub>0</sub> + β<sub>1</sub>Qtr1 + β<sub>2</sub>Qtr2 + β<sub>3</sub>Qtr3 + β<sub>4</sub>t + ε,with three seasonal dummy variables Qtr1,Qtr2,and Qtr3,and the decomposition method are proposed to make sales forecasts.For the regression model,the following Excel partial output is available.   (Use Excel. )Using MSE and MAD,compare the linear trend equation with seasonal dummy variables,   = 31,9261 - 7.855Qtr1 - 4.7362Qtr2 - 7.1656Qtr3 + 1.0749t,and the decomposition method equation   with   = 26.8819 + 1.0780t and the quarterly seasonal indices: 0.9322,1.0066,0.9441,and 1.1171.Which of the two corresponding forecasting models is recommended?
