class statsmodels.tsa.holtwinters.ExponentialSmoothing(endog, trend=None, damped=False, seasonal=None, seasonal_periods=None, dates=None, freq=None, missing='none')[source]

Holt Winter’s Exponential Smoothing

Parameters
endogarray_like

Time series

trend{“add”, “mul”, “additive”, “multiplicative”, None}, optional

Type of trend component.

dampedbool, optional

Should the trend component be damped.

seasonal{“add”, “mul”, “additive”, “multiplicative”, None}, optional

Type of seasonal component.

seasonal_periodsint, optional

The number of periods in a complete seasonal cycle, e.g., 4 for quarterly data or 7 for daily data with a weekly cycle.

Returns
resultsExponentialSmoothing class

Notes

This is a full implementation of the holt winters exponential smoothing as per [R2ac3c82b3ff9-1]. This includes all the unstable methods as well as the stable methods. The implementation of the library covers the functionality of the R library as much as possible whilst still being Pythonic.

Methods

fit([smoothing_level, smoothing_slope, …])

Fit the model

from_formula(formula, data[, subset, drop_cols])

Create a Model from a formula and dataframe.

hessian(params)

The Hessian matrix of the model.

information(params)

Fisher information matrix of model.

initial_values()

Compute initial values used in the exponential smoothing recursions

initialize()

Initialize (possibly re-initialize) a Model instance.

loglike(params)

Log-likelihood of model.

predict(params[, start, end])

Returns in-sample and out-of-sample prediction.

score(params)

Score vector of model.

Properties

endog_names

Names of endogenous variables.

exog_names
