Declaration
Procedure TripleExpForecast(Y: TVec; YHat: TVec; const Alpha, Beta, Gamma: TSample; T: Integer; Period: Integer);
 Parameter  Description 
Time series data set. 
YHat Time series forecasts. Size of the YHat vector are adjusted automatically. 
Alpha Overal smoothing parameter used for forecast. 
Beta Trend smoothing parameter used for forecast. 
Gamma Seasonal smoothing parameter used for forecast. 
Forecast values up to T period.

Declaration
Procedure TripleExpForecast(Y: TVec; YHat: TVec; var Alpha, Beta, Gamma: TSample; T: Integer; out MSE: TSample; Period: Integer);
 Parameter  Description 
MSE MSE, evaluated at minimum. 

Description
First estimate Alpha, Beta and Gamma parameters by triple exponential smoothing and then use returned values to forecast up to T periods. Use this routine if you don't know the best estimates for Alpha, Beta and Gamma.
