Step-by-step explanation:

Mean absolute error is 0.4, mean squared error is 28.2%, mean absolute percentage error is 37.46% and the forecast for week 7 is 13.

What is native method?

Native method is used to forecast value of a data. In this the privious period value is considered as forecast value for next period.

The complete table for the data using the native method is given below.

  • Week                         1         2      3       4      5       6        7
  • Value                        20      14     16      10    17      13
  • forecasted Sale                 20      14     16    10     17       13
  • Abs. Error                            6        2      6      7      4
  • Error²                                   36      4      36   49    16
  • Abs. Error%                      42.86   12.5  60 41.18  30.77

The value of measures of forecast accuracy are,

  • a. Mean absolute error-

[tex]MAE=0.3746\\MAE=0.4[/tex]

  • b. Mean squared error-

[tex]MSE=28.2[/tex]

  • c. Mean absolute percentage error.

[tex]MAPE=37.46\%[/tex]

  • d. The forecast for week 7-

The forecast for week 7 is 13.

Hence, the mean absolute error is 0.4, mean squared error is 28.2%, mean absolute percentage error is 37.46% and the forecast for week 7 is 13.
