Answer is option c)
Forecasts produced using exponential smoothing methods are weighted averages of past observations, with the weights decaying exponentially as the observations get older. the more recent the observation the higher the associated weight.
The unknown parameters and the initial values for any exponential smoothing method can be estimated by minimizing the sum of squared errors (SSE).
Add Answer to:
The weight of past observations in exponential smoothing is chosen (a) minimising the root of the...

1: Please select the right statement(s) that apply to the exponential smoothing with trend adjustment forecasting method Select one or more: a. The exponential smoothing with trend adjustment requires the initial forecast b. The use of exponential smoothing with trend adjustment is appropriate when the underlying average of the time series is either increasing or decreasing c. α and β should be carefully selected between 0 and 1 in a way to minimize the forecasting errors d. Setting α close...
