D)curve fitting

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonlinear optimization is a method used to find the optimal values for parameters in a model. In this case, the smoothing constant is a parameter in a model and the mean squared error is the objective function to be minimized. Therefore, nonlinear optimization would be the appropriate process to determine the value of the smoothing constant that minimizes the mean squared error.
