Which model for forecasting with seasonality and trend?
This tests your knowledge of classical time series models. A good answer names Holt-Winters, explaining its level, trend, and seasonal components. It also discusses choosing between additive and multiplicative methods. A red flag is jumping to complex models.
This tests your ability to map data characteristics (trend, seasonality) to a classical model's components. A strong answer identifies Holt-Winters, breaking down its level, trend, and seasonal parts. It explains the choice between additive (constant) and multiplicative (proportional) seasonality. The key red flag is suggesting a complex model like Prophet or an NN without first establishing this interpretable baseline, or failing to explain why Holt-Winters is the right fit for the stated problem.
