Theses and Dissertations
Although advances in modern computational algorithms have provided researchers the ability to work problems which were once too computationally complex to solve, problems with high computation or large parameter spaces still remain. Problems such as those involving Time Series can be such problems. Chapter 1 looks at the the use of Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages developed by \citep{holt2004forecasting, winters1960forecasting} which were thought to provide sufficient solutions to these Time Series. A discussion is provided which illustrates the shortcomings of the EWMA and how its infinite number of possible starting values provides the modeler with an endless number of possible solutions …
