%0 Journal Article %T Aprendendo Decomposi o Cl¨¢ssica: Tutorial para um M¨¦todo de An¨¢lise de S¨¦ries Temporais %A Marco Aur¨¦lio Carino Bouzada %J TAC : Tecnologias de Administra£¿£¿o e Contabilidade %D 2012 %I Associa??o Nacional de P¨®s-Gradua??o e Pesquisa em Administra??o %X This work presents a tutorial to teach a quantitative methodology for forecasting known as Classical Decomposition, used in business to predict the future behavior of time series with different explicative components. A brief Literature Review was developed in relation to the already known and widespread theoretical aspects of the methodology. Then, the tutorial itself is presented - which is composed of a text (in itsentirety) and a spreadsheet (with screens and graphics for illustration). The tutorial can be used by students, researchers and managers who need to learn Classical Decomposition and can achieve the midpoint between a purely theoretical approach and a very technical guide for implementation of the method. Through its format, this study aims to encourage students to actively participate in the learning process. %K forecast %K classical decomposition %K tutorial. %U http://www.anpad.org.br/periodicos/arq_pdf/a_1320.pdf
