Use the applet "Moving Averages" to answer the following questions. a) Out of the three methods - Naive Forecast, Moving Average, and Weighted Moving Average - which produces a smaller mean absolute error? Naive Forecast Moving Average Weighted Moving Average None of the above b) Which method produces the smallest mean squared error? Naive Forecast Moving Average Weighted Moving Average None of the above

If you were selecting from a variety of forecasting models based on MAD, which of the following MAD values from the same data would reflect the most accurate model? 0.8 100.0 0.2 Mean absolute percent error (MAPE) gauges the error relative to the average demand. For example, if the MAD is 10 units and average demand is 20 units, the error is large and significant, but relatively insignificant on an average demand of 1,000 units. Since the same data is being used in the question, MAPE would be least when MAD was smallest. Therefore A is the correct answer. 10.0 1.0
