Most investors in Walmart cannot accurately predict what will happen the next trading day because, historically, stock markets tend to be unpredictable and even illogical. Modeling turbulent structures requires applying different statistical methods, techniques, and algorithms to find hidden data structures or patterns within the Walmart's time series price data and predict how it will affect future prices. One of these methodologies is forecasting, which interprets Walmart's price structures and extracts relationships that further increase the generated results' accuracy.
Triple exponential smoothing for Walmart - also known as the Winters method - is a refinement of the popular double exponential smoothing model with the addition of periodicity (seasonality) component. Simple exponential smoothing technique works best with data where there are no trend or seasonality components to the data. When Walmart prices exhibit either an increasing or decreasing trend over time, simple exponential smoothing forecasts tend to lag behind observations. Double exponential smoothing is designed to address this type of data series by taking into account any trend in Walmart price movement. However, neither of these exponential smoothing models address any seasonality of Walmart.
