  2. Moving average using k =12.
  3. Weighted moving average using k =12 (find wi using solver)
  4. Exponential Smoothing (find using solver)
  5. Stationary Additive seasonal effect (find and using solver)
  6. Stationary Multiplicative seasonal effect (find and using solver)
  7. Double moving average (k=12)
  8. Holt's method
  9. Holt-Winter's method for additive seanonal
  10. Holt-Winter's method for multiplicative seanonal
  11. Seasonal Regression
  12. Which model is the best for this dataset? Compare each method based on MSE.
