The time series forecasting method that gives equal weightage to each of the m most recent observations is

1. Moving average method
2. Exponential smoothing with linear trend
3. Triple Exponential smoothing
4. Kalman Filter

Correct answer: Moving average method

Solution

The moving average method calculates the forecast by averaging a specified number of the most recent data points, treating each observation equally, which helps to smooth out short-term fluctuations and highlight longer-term trends.
