- The accompanying dataset provides data on the monthly usage of natural gas (in millions of cubic feet) for a certain region over two years. Implement the Holt-Winters multiplicative seasonality model with no trend to find the forecast for periods 13-26, where x = 0.5 and y = 0.8. Then find the MAD for periods 13-24. Click the icon to view the monthly use of natural gas data. Use the Holt-Winters multiplicative seasonality model with no trend to find the forecast for periods 13-18, periods 19-24, and then for periods 25 and 26.
