Textbook Question
Chapter 14.6, Problem 14.36ACI
Monthly gold prices. Refer to the monthly gold prices. Exercise 14.31 (p. 14-24). Two models were used to forecast the monthly 2015 gold prices: an exponential smoothing model with w = .5 and a Holt model with w = .5 and v = .5.
a Use MAD, MAPE, and RMSE criteria to evaluate the two models’ accuracy for forecasting the monthly 2015 values using the 2009-2014 data.
b. Use the MAD, MAPE, and RMSE criteria to evaluate the two models’ accuracy when making the 12 one-step-ahead forecasts, updating the models with each month’s actual value before forecasting the next month’s value.

- Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177.

Typical waiting times during peak business hours under the current system are roughly 9 to 10 minutes. The bank manager hopes that the new system will lower typical waiting times to less than 6 minutes and wishes to evaluate the new system. When the new system is operating consistently over time, the bank manager decides to select a sample of 100 customers that need teller service during peak business hours. Specifically, for each of 100 peak business hours, the first customer that starts waiting for teller service at or after a randomly selected time during the hour will be chosen. Consider the peak business hours from 2:00 p.m. to 2:59 p.m., from 3:00 p.m. to 3:59 p.m., from 4:00 p.m. to 4:59 p.m., and from 5:00 p.m. to 5:59 p.m. on a particular day.
