Assumptions
This is not an introduction to R. I assume youare broadly comfortable with R code and the Renvironment.
This is not a statistics course. I assume you arefamiliar with concepts such as the mean,standard deviation, quantiles, regression,normal distribution, etc.
This is not a theory course. I am not going toderive anything. I will teach you forecastingtools, when to use them and how to use themmost effectively.

G straight line regression over last 6 months
H average slope between last year’s and thisyear’s values.(Equivalent to differencing at lag 12 andtaking mean.)
I Same as H except over 6 months.

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) isthe Australian government drugs subsidy scheme.
Many drugs bought from pharmacies aresubsidised to allow more equitable access tomodern drugs.
The cost to government is determined by thenumber and types of drugs purchased.Currently nearly 1% of GDP.
The total cost is budgeted based on forecastsof drug usage.

How would you forecast these data?
Some simple forecasting methods
Average method
Forecast of all future values is equal to mean ofhistorical data {y1, . . . , yT}.Forecasts: yT+h|T = y = (y1 + · · ·+ yT)/T
Naïve method (for time series only)
Forecasts equal to last observed value.Forecasts: yT+h|T = yT.Consequence of efficient market hypothesis.
Seasonal naïve method
Forecasts equal to last value from same season.Forecasts: yT+h|T = yT+h−km where m =seasonal period and k = b(h− 1)/mc+1.

Average method
Forecast of all future values is equal to mean ofhistorical data {y1, . . . , yT}.Forecasts: yT+h|T = y = (y1 + · · ·+ yT)/T
Naïve method (for time series only)
Forecasts equal to last observed value.Forecasts: yT+h|T = yT.Consequence of efficient market hypothesis.
