This document provides an overview of time series forecasting techniques. It discusses the components of time series data including trend, seasonal, cyclical, and irregular fluctuations. It also describes various smoothing techniques for time series forecasting such as naive methods, averaging models including simple averages and moving averages, and exponential smoothing. Examples are provided to illustrate how to calculate forecasts using a four-month moving average and a four-month weighted moving average. Measurement methods for forecasting error are also defined.
