40 Appendix Global Trade Index Forecasting Methodology METHODOLOGY Used: While predicting the Global trade index, we follow the following steps as mentioned below: a. LOGEST Calculation: a. Apply LOGEST Formula (=Logest (Historical Data Range)-1) to the historical data of trade,, Domestic and foreign market, until the latest available quarter b. From the derived LOGEST value, predict the next quarter data by multiplying it with the previous quarter and adding the factor into the previous quarter data b. Adjustment Factor Calculation: a. Calculate the variance of prediction against the actual for last quarters and calculate the average variance b. Multiply the average variance % with the predicted figures to get the adjusted forecasting c. Finally, predict the Global trade index based on the adjusted figures Global Trade Flow Index Q3 11 edition Copyright 11 Capgemini. All rights reserved.
