The special feature of the Holt method is that it attempts to map the development of demand using a linear equation. A straight line is known to be defined by its gradient m and the so-called Y-intercept b. In the equation, this is represented as Y= mx+b. The Holt method adjusts the two straight line parameters using two special exponential smoothing methods.<\/p>\n<h2>Our tip:<\/h2>\n<p>The Holt method depicts the development of demand as a linear function over time.
