Usage
dshw(y, period1, period2, h=2*max(period1,period2), alpha=NULL, beta=NULL, gamma=NULL, omega=NULL, phi=NULL, lambda=NULL, biasadj=FALSE, armethod=TRUE, model = NULL)
Arguments
y
Either an msts object with two seasonal periods or a numeric vector.
period1
Period of the shorter seasonal period. Only used if y is not an msts object.
period2
Period of the longer seasonal period. Only used if y is not an msts object.
h
Number of periods for forecasting.
alpha
Smoothing parameter for the level. If NULL, the parameter is estimated using least squares.
beta
Smoothing parameter for the slope. If NULL, the parameter is estimated using least squares.
gamma
Smoothing parameter for the first seasonal period. If NULL, the parameter is estimated using least squares.
omega
Smoothing parameter for the second seasonal period. If NULL, the parameter is estimated using least squares.
phi
Autoregressive parameter. If NULL, the parameter is estimated using least squares.
lambda
Box-Cox transformation parameter. Ignored if NULL. Otherwise, data transformed before model is estimated.
biasadj
Use adjusted back-transformed mean for Box-Cox transformations. If TRUE, point forecasts and fitted values are mean forecast. Otherwise, these points can be considered the median of the forecast densities.
armethod
If TRUE, the forecasts are adjusted using an AR(1) model for the errors.
model
If it's specified, an existing model is applied to a new data set.
Details

Taylor's (2003) double-seasonal Holt-Winters method uses additive trend and multiplicative seasonality, where there are two seasonal components which are multiplied together. For example, with a series of half-hourly data, one would set period1=48 for the daily period and period2=336 for the weekly period. The smoothing parameter notation used here is different from that in Taylor (2003); instead it matches that used in Hyndman et al (2008) and that used for the ets function.
