This book provides a well written and organized introduction to short-term univariate forecasting methods. It is heavily directed toward exponential smoothing models and their various extensions. Other methods are described but do not play an important role in the text. All the procedures are endogenous, using only the history of the series to be forecast. One of its major contributions is bringing together the rather broad and diverse literature on shortterm forecasting models in a clear and consistent manner. The overall flow of the book is smooth, with the standard issues in forecasting introduced and discussed. The book consists of ten chapters and three appendices. Following a fine introduction covering definitions of often used terms (eg, lead time, forecast period, etc.) as well as the usual motivational material, come chapters on regression and exponential smoothing models (including weighted direct smoothing procedures). Next are chapters on forecasting and the analysis of forecast errors with extensions to modifying smoothing parameters based on the sequence of forecast errors. The book closes with separate discussions of the “Box-Jenkins models” and Bayesian methods in forecasting. The appendices supply the usual statistical tables, a collection of actual time series data used in the examples in the text, and two computer programs for forecasting. The style of the book is direct in the sense that topics are presented in a well organized and sequenced manner. It is designed to be used at the level of an undergraduate course in forecasting
