Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	_testForecaster() A test that the forecaster uses a moving average forecast for appropriate input data.
void	testConstantMovingAverage() A simple moving average test where the observed data is constant.
void	testMovingAverage() A somewhat more realistic test where the results are known (and were calculated independently of the model).

public MovingAverageTest(java.lang.String name)

Method Detail

testConstantMovingAverage

public void testConstantMovingAverage()

A simple moving average test where the observed data is constant. This should result in the same constant forecast.

testMovingAverage

public void testMovingAverage()

A somewhat more realistic test where the results are known (and were calculated independently of the model). Validates that the MovingAverageModel returns the expected set of results for the given inputs.

_testForecaster

public void _testForecaster()

A test that the forecaster uses a moving average forecast for appropriate input data. The validity of this test depends on the accuracy of other forecasting models. We, artificially, construct an input data set (to pass to init) that lends itself to a moving average forecast, more so than any of the other forecasting models.
