Triple exponential smoothing for Norfolk Southern - also known as the Winters method - is a refinement of the popular double exponential smoothing model with the addition of periodicity (seasonality) component. Simple exponential smoothing technique works best with data where there are no trend or seasonality components to the data. When Norfolk Southern prices exhibit either an increasing or decreasing trend over time, simple exponential smoothing forecasts tend to lag behind observations.
