Linear exponential smoothing models
Parameters
----------
endog : array_like
The observed time-series process :math:`y`
trend : bool, optional
Whether or not to include a trend component. Default is False.
damped_trend : bool, optional
Whether or not an included trend component is damped. Default is False.
seasonal : int, optional
The number of periods in a complete seasonal cycle for seasonal
(Holt-Winters) models. For example, 4 for quarterly data with an
annual cycle or 7 for daily data with a weekly cycle. Default is
no seasonal effects.
initialization_method : str, optional
Method for initialize the recursions. One of:
* 'estimated'
* 'concentrated'
* 'heuristic'
* 'known'
If 'known' initialization is used, then `initial_level` must be
passed, as well as `initial_slope` and `initial_seasonal` if
applicable. Default is 'estimated'.
initial_level : float, optional
The initial level component. Only used if initialization is 'known'.
initial_trend : float, optional
The initial trend component. Only used if initialization is 'known'.
initial_seasonal : array_like, optional
The initial seasonal component. An array of length `seasonal`
or length `seasonal - 1` (in which case the last initial value
is computed to make the average effect zero). Only used if
initialization is 'known'.
bounds : iterable[tuple], optional
An iterable containing bounds for the parameters. Must contain four
elements, where each element is a tuple of the form (lower, upper).
Default is (0.0001, 0.9999) for the level, trend, and seasonal
smoothing parameters and (0.8, 0.98) for the trend damping parameter.
concentrate_scale : bool, optional
Whether or not to concentrate the scale (variance of the error term)
out of the likelihood.
Notes
-----
**Overview**
The parameters and states of this model are estimated by setting up the
exponential smoothing equations as a special case of a linear Gaussian
state space model and applying the Kalman filter. As such, it has slightly
worse performance than the dedicated exponential smoothing model,
:class:`statsmodels.tsa.holtwinters.ExponentialSmoothing`, and it does not
support multiplicative (nonlinear) exponential smoothing models.
However, as a subclass of the state space models, this model class shares
a consistent set of functionality with those models, which can make it
easier to work with. In addition, it supports computing confidence
intervals for forecasts and it supports concentrating the initial
state out of the likelihood function.
**Model timing**
Typical exponential smoothing results correspond to the "filtered" output
from state space models, because they incorporate both the transition to
the new time point (adding the trend to the level and advancing the season)
and updating to incorporate information from the observed datapoint. By
contrast, the "predicted" output from state space models only incorporates
the transition.
One consequence is that the "initial state" corresponds to the "filtered"
state at time t=0, but this is different from the usual state space
initialization used in Statsmodels, which initializes the model with the
"predicted" state at time t=1. This is important to keep in mind if
setting the initial state directly (via `initialization_method='known'`).
**Seasonality**
In seasonal models, it is important to note that seasonals are included in
the state vector of this model in the order:
`[seasonal, seasonal.L1, seasonal.L2, seasonal.L3, ...]`. At time t, the
`'seasonal'` state holds the seasonal factor operative at time t, while
the `'seasonal.L'` state holds the seasonal factor that would have been
operative at time t-1.
Suppose that the seasonal order is `n_seasons = 4`. Then, because the
initial state corresponds to time t=0 and the time t=1 is in the same
season as time t=-3, the initial seasonal factor for time t=1 comes from
the lag "L3" initial seasonal factor (i.e. at time t=1 this will be both
the "L4" seasonal factor as well as the "L0", or current, seasonal factor).
When the initial state is estimated (`initialization_method='estimated'`),
there are only `n_seasons - 1` parameters, because the seasonal factors are
normalized to sum to one. The three parameters that are estimated
correspond to the lags "L0", "L1", and "L2" seasonal factors as of time
t=0 (alternatively, the lags "L1", "L2", and "L3" as of time t=1).
When the initial state is given (`initialization_method='known'`), the
initial seasonal factors for time t=0 must be given by the argument
`initial_seasonal`. This can either be a length `n_seasons - 1` array --
in which case it should contain the lags "L0" - "L2" (in that order)
seasonal factors as of time t=0 -- or a length `n_seasons` array, in which
case it should contain the "L0" - "L3" (in that order) seasonal factors
as of time t=0.
Note that in the state vector and parameters, the "L0" seasonal is
called "seasonal" or "initial_seasonal", while the i>0 lag is
called "seasonal.L{i}".
