What is smoothing technique?
It is a short-term forecasting technique that is frequently used in the production and inventory environment, where only the next period's value is required to be forecast. Because only three numbers are required to perform exponential smoothing, this technique is simple to update.
Why is smoothing important?
The idea behind data smoothing is that it can identify simplified changes in order to help predict different trends and patterns. It acts as an aid for statisticians or traders who need to look at a lot of data—that can often be complicated to digest—to find patterns they would not otherwise see.
What does smoothing do?
Smoothing is usually done to help us better see patterns, trends for example, in time series. Generally smooth out the irregular roughness to see a clearer signal. For seasonal data, we might smooth out the seasonality so that we can identify the trend.
