The formula for the moving average is:
Ft = w  1A  t -1 + w 2 A  t - 2 + w  3 A  t -3 + ... + w  n A  t -n

Exponential Smoothing Model
Ft = Ft-1 + a(At-1 - Ft-1)
Where:
Ft = Forcast vaue for thecomingt timeperiod

Associative Forecasting
1. Predictor variables - used to predict values of variable interest
2. Regression - technique for fitting a line to a set of points
3. Least squares line - minimizes sum of squared deviations around the line
