One common way of modeling a time series is to find a transformation that reduces the observed data to random noise. Earlier procedures for technological forecasting based on time series data were of a some what ad-hoc nature, though theoretical justifications for their use were generally available. This study attempts to introduce a more powerful tool in technological forecasting based on time series by using Box-Jenkins approach, which is a newly developed technique. The basic concept and mathematical models of moving averages, exponential smoothing, and Box-Jenkins methodology are outlined and illustrated by their application to three time series concerned with technological forecasting. Comparison is then made by use of sum of squares of lead- 3 forecast error.
