Using the martingale method of forecast evolution (MMFE) of heath and Jackson and obtain a formula for the mean and variance of the lead time demand and apply these formulas to specific demand models.
The Martingale Method of Forecast Evolutions (MMFE) can be represented as follows:
At the beginning of the first period, there is an initial forecast for the demand to prevail
in period s for each s >= 1 in the planning horizon. Forecasts are updated at the beginning
of every period as follows: For all s >= t
+
where is the forecast at the beginning of period t for the demand to prevail during
period s >= t and is a mean zero, variance ,random variable that becomes known
at the end of period t. The actual demand seen during period s is Ds = .Thus, for
1 =< t =< s + 1 we can write the actual demand for period s as
Ds =
Ds at the beginning of period t1.
Let Et[Ds] and Vart[Ds] denote the expectation and the variance of Ds given what is
known at the beginning of period t.
Thus,
is just the unbiased forecast
is a measure of the forecast error
Questions?
If we apply (MMFE) to Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) Demand Model.
D1 = µ + for s >=2
Ds = µ +
where ‘s are zero mean random variables with variance . is constant and is between 0 and 1.
- For (ARIMA), knowing that for all s > t, and , how can I prove that this model (ARIMA) can be fit into the framework of (MMFE)?
- In the formula Ds = µ + does each , , ….and are independent of each other and all have the same variance of ?
I need to find the variance.
What is the variance (if it is too much work to find the variance, it is okay to leave it)?
