Apply a 1-period moving average forecasting model, and compute the root mean squared error (RMSE) of the forecasts for 1960-2015. Compare this to the RMSE of
(1) the 3-period moving average model (from Q4),
(2) an exponential smoothing model (from Q5) with alpha = 0.95, and,
(3) 3-period rolling regression model (from Q6).
Based on these comparisons, does a more sophisticated model or a model that uses more information always lead to a better forecast as measured by the RMSE?
