The State Space Approach

Exponential smoothing methods have been around since the 1950s, and are the most popular

revolutionized with the introduction of a complete modeling framework incorporating

inno-vations state space models, likelihood calculation, prediction intervals and procedures for

model selection In this book, all of the important results for this framework are brought together

in a coherent manner with consistent notation In addition, many new results and extensions are

introduced and several application areas are examined in detail.
