Question

deseasonalizing the data, using any forecasting model, then reseasonalizing the data You will always get more accurate forecasts by using more complex forecasting methods If the span of a moving average is large - say. 12 months - then few observations go into each average, and extreme values have relatively large effect on the forecasts To deseasonalize an observation (assuming a multiplicative model of seasonality) multiply it by the appropriate seasonal index In a multiplicative seasonal model we multiply a base forecast by an appropriate seasonal index. These indexes one for each season typically average to 1
