Documentation

Definition

The alpha factor is the smoothing factor of the basic value. The system uses this factor when extrapolating the basic value in the forecast.

Procedure

If this parameter is required for the valid forecast_model and you have not entered a value for it, then the system uses the default value 0.2 which is defined in the forecast module.
