There are many types of naà¯ve forecasts. Simple (next period same as this period), change (rate of growth determined by change between two period). In this situation, it appears that a simple naà¯ve forecast is required. In this case, demand at period 1 = 90, which will be the same for all subsequent periods. Period-----Demand-------Naà¯ve Forecast 1--------------90-----------------90 2--------------85-----------------90 3--------------91-----------------90 4--------------92-----------------90 5--------------95-----------------90 6--------------88-----------------90 You can now use such measures as MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation), MSE (Mean Square Error) etc. to determine which forecast provided a better fit. MAD (Naà¯ve) = (abs(90-90) + abs(85-90) + … +abs(88-90))/6 = 2.5 MAD (Forecast) = 3.67. Using MAD, the naà¯ve forecast would have been better.
