Homes: The Housing Office Move-In Estimating System

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to utilize a forecast method for estimating waiting time for Military Family Housing. The study had two basic objectives. The first was to accurately forecast waiting time for each classification of Military Family Housing and the second was to create a user friendly, statistically based computer program to implement the forecasting technique. The study surfaced three quantitative methods that forecast waiting time successfully: Seasonal indexing, adjusted seasonal indexing, and monthly averaging. Analysis proved that these three methods were the most accurate of the forecasting methods tried and any one should produce satisfactory forecasts. Keywords: Families, Theses, Forecasting, Military facilities, Housing (Dwellings), Statistical analysis.
