Question: The dataset store _ sales.csv is a subset of data from 2 0 1 0 to 2 0 1 2 from a US based retailer.

The dataset store_sales.csv is a subset of data from 2010 to 2012 from a US based retailer. It represents weekly sales. Each row is a different week of data for a given store and department for the included time frame.
Notes: The dataset includes periods from 2010 to 2012, but it does not include every week. Do NOT extrapolate to fill in these missing pieces unless specifically instructed as it will change the answer. We will assume we are using a full dataset for most of the questions.
store = store location id
dept = store department id
date = first day of given week (string format you will need to parse it)
weekly_sales = sales for that week, dept, store
isholiday = true if it is holiday week Question: Create a time-series dataset by computing the total weekly_sales (sum across all departments) per week for store 1, do not exclude holidays. With this data set which we will refer to as "Store 1 weekly sales", use an alpha of 0.25 and h =100, and the ses() function from the 'forecast' package to fit an exponential smoothing model on the data. Do not separate train/test sets or holdout any points, instead fit the model on the full period of the "Store 1 weekly sales" dataset. Calculate and report the tracking signal based on the actual vs. fitted values and report it rounded to 2 decimal places. Provide code in R
