smoothing methods advantages and disadvantages - ANSWER: ➡ Advantage: No assumptions

must be made about a trend or about a seasonal component.

Disadvantage: Predictions are limited - can only predict in the very short term. These are

usually only used for one period beyond the data recorded.

by outliers (sharp peaks or falls).
