Trend Curves • Purposes of a Trend Curve: 1. Forecasting the long run 2.

Trend Curves • Purposes of a Trend Curve: 1. Forecasting the long run 2. Estimating the growth rate

Standard Trend Curves • Key Properties: – have a simple form – have good

Standard Trend Curves • Key Properties: – have a simple form – have good track records – software for fitting is widely available

Types of Standard Trend Curves • For unbounded data: – linear – quadratic –

Types of Standard Trend Curves • For unbounded data: – linear – quadratic – exponential • For bounded (S shaped) data: – logistic – Gompertz

Unbounded Trend • Linear: Yt = b 0 + b 1 t + e

Unbounded Trend • Linear: Yt = b 0 + b 1 t + e • Quadratic: Yt = b 0 + b 1 t + b 2 t 2 + e • Log-linear: ln(Yt)= b 0 + b 1 t + e

Nonlinear Least Squares • SPSS is one of the few statistics packages that provide routines for fitting nonlinear regression models. • You have to provide initial estimates for parameters.
