The Holt-Winters multiplicative model differs from the Holt-Winters additive model in that the Holt-Winters multiplicative model ________.

A) is synonymous to the double exponential smoothing forecast model
B) is synonymous to the single exponential smoothing forecast model
C) applies to time series with relatively stable seasonality
D) applies to time series whose amplitude increases or decreases over time

Holt-Winters Multiplicative Model

A forecasting technique that models time series data with seasonal variations using a multiplicative method to capture trend and seasonality.

Holt-Winters Additive Model

A mathematical approach for time series forecasting that accounts for trends and seasonality, using addition for seasonal effects.

Seasonality

The occurrence of variations that are predictable and repeat over a specific period within a year, often seen in industries like retail and agriculture.
