The document describes Winter's Method for seasonal time series forecasting. It involves three steps:
1) Decomposing the time series into seasonal, trend, and error components.
2) Using exponential smoothing to update estimates of the deseasonalized series, seasonal factors, and trend over time.
3) Forecasting by combining the updated seasonal, trend, and error estimates. The initialization procedure calculates initial values for the trend, seasonal factors, and series based on historical data.
