Hi Statalist,

I want to do exponential smoothing for sales with Stata. I used the command

.tssmooth dexponential sales = ussalesdols000, forecast(1)

Sometimes I get negative out of sample forecasts which can't be true for sales. Is there a way to include a constraint so the out of sample forecasts will not get negative?

Best
Lisa
