  3. Allocate Funds to Advertising • How much to spend on each media? • See AdGoals.xls and p. 465- in W&A • Cost known • Estimate response ! • Optimize => most effective allocation w.r.t. response • GP, IP or NLP

  7. Expon. Smoothing • 1. Single ES: Lt = a*Yt + (1-a)*Lt-1 • 2. Holt: Lt = a*Yt + (1-a)*(Lt-1+Tt-1) Tt = b*(Lt – Lt-1) + (1-b)*Tt-1 3. Winter: Lt = a*(Yt/St-N) + (1-a)*(Lt-1+Tt-1) Tt = b*(Lt – Lt-1) + (1-b)*Tt-1 St = g*(Yt/Lt) + (1-g)*St-N Ft+m = (Lt + m*Tt)*St+m-N

  8. Monitoring the Model • Error Et = Yt – Ft • SUM = sum(Et)/n • MAD = sum(abs(Et))/n • Tracking Signal = SUM/MAD • MAPE = sum(abs(Et)/Yt)/n
