Comparison of Forecasting Effect of SARIMA Model and Holt-Winters Smoothing Based on GDP

Chenghan Li

Abstract


This study analyses ARIMA Model and Holt-Winters Smoothing. In this report, the GDP of Australia is taken as an example to illustrate the differences between these two models and to decide which model could show a better performance in term of forecasting. RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) is used as an indicator to compare the forecasting results of ARIMA Model and Holt-Winters Smoothing. After analysing, Holt-Winters Smoothing is found that could provide a more accurate result. This report provides people with basic ideas that how to use basic forecasting techniques to explore the future trends of some economic indicators.
