Abstract
We often find ourselves needing to predict the
future value of something based on past trends.
For instance, climate scientists have been trying
to estimate the future rise in ocean temperatures based on
(among other things) temperature data of the last 100 or
more years. Or maybe you are a cricket enthusiast and want
to predict how many centuries your favourite batsman will
score this year based on his scoring statistics for past years.
We all probably have our own ways of arriving at an estimate!
In this article, let us explore one approach.
