The production (and treatment) of domestic solid residua has caught the society'sattention in a general way (specially, of the government) due to the great impact

caused in the environmental and social ambit. The problem is basically about the

disabilityofthecitiestofacethegrowingproductionofsolidresidua.Fromthisproblem,

the current studyaims toanalyze the Holt-Winters forecasting models, for the solid

residue production, having as a base, the data found in Toledo City – PR. For this

purpose, the methodology adoptedwas, the historical series decomposition of solid

residueproduction,ofthisregion,withintheperiodfrom1999tothefirstsemesterof

2003 (obtained through bibliographic and documental research), in order to identifypatternswhichcanbeprojectedmakinguseofHolt-Wintersmodels.Havingasabase,

Conceptually, D’Almeida (2000) defines urban solid residue as the debris massgenerated because of the occurrence of human activities in urban agglomerate.

Figueiredo(1998)differsresiduefrompost-usedgoodsbythefactthatthelastones

represent a specific kind of residue, whoseorigin isn’t a direct consequence of the

consumption, but of the arbitrage of an average useful life established on the own

conceptionof the product.For the current study, solidresiduaare understood asall

solidmaterialinwhichitsownerattributesnomorevalueandhedesirestogetridofit,

attributingtothePublicAdministrationtheresponsibilityforitsfinalplacement.

AccordingtoIBGE(2000),Brazilproducesaround240thousandof tonsofgarbagea

day,numberwhichisinferiortothatoftheUnitedStates(607thousandtonsaday),but

superior to countries like Germany (85 thousand tons a day) and Sweden (10.4

thousandtonsaday).InBrazil,accordingtoZveibil(2001),theaverageoftheresidue

production for a cityof100,000 inhabitants, is0.55kilogramper inhabitant aday of

garbage.

the use of demanding forecasting, because they enable the planning of resource

necessities through the future analysis (PELLEGRINI & FOGLIATTO, 2000). Such

models have started to be used (yet) in a limited and sector way at public

administration:fromthecomplementarylawnumber101from04/05/00,publishedatUnionOfficialDiary,section1,from05/05/2000,knownasFiscalResponsibilityLaw,

there is the obligation of revenue forecasting accompanied by the methodology of

calculus and used premises (VIEIRA, 2003). This way, it’s necessary to apply and

evaluatethesemethodologiesinthesolidresiduegeneration.

One of themost popular forecastingmodelwas developed in 1960,when the linear

modelofCharlesC.HoltwasextendedbyPeterR.Winterstocapturetheseasoning

directly, based on three smoothing equations (level, trend and seasoning) throughadditive and multiplicative equations, applied according to the series behavior. The

multiplicative model of Holt-Winters is composed of the following equations

(CARVALHO;LOIOLA&COELHO,2001):

Y S 

−−+= )1( γ  γ   (3)

F  t+m =(Lt  +b t  m )S t-s+m  (4)

Where S represents the size of the seasoning, Lt represents the series level, bt

denotates the trend, St is the seasonal component and, Ft+m corresponds to the

forecasting for m periods ahead (CARVALHO; LOIOLA & COELHO, 2001). The

additive model of Holt-Winters is composed of the equations below (YAFFEE and

McGEE,2000):

Lt  =α (Y  t  –S t-s )+(1–α )(Lt-1 +b t-1 ) (5)

b t  = β (Lt  –Lt-1 )+(1 - β )b t-1  (6)

S t  =γ  (Y  t  –Lt  )+(1–γ  )S t-s  (7)

F  t+m =Lt  +b t  m +S t-s+m  (8)

Theses models bear the constants of smoothing α, β and γ. Theses constants are

valuesbetween0(zero)and1(one)establishedbytheanalyst.Fortheα,thehigher

thevalue,thefasterthemodelreactiontoarealvariationoftheobserveddatawillbe.

The same is applied to β,however it is related to the trend of theseries and, to γ

(relatedtotheseasonalfluctuation).Fromtheexponentialmethods,theHolt-Winters

modelsaretheonesthatbestrepresenttheseasoningandthedatatrend(KIRKHAM;

BOUSSABAINE&KIRKHAM,2002).

whether the forecasting was systemically above or below the observed. Both the

absolute average error (11) and the square average error (12) turn the errors into

positive ones to then calculate the average, what seems to provide more accurate

information concerning the error's amplitude. These statistics deal with forecasting

measures whose size depends on the data scale, however they don't ease the

comparisonamongdifferenttemporalseriesanddifferenttimeintervals(MAKRIDAKIS;

WHEELWRIGHT &HYNDMAN, 1998). Such situation is overcome by error relative

4.1 Preliminary analysis

It'spossibletoverifythattherewasanaverageincreaseintheproductioninthesolid

residue,between1999and2003,of17.63%beingthatthebiggestincreaseoccurredin

the biennial 2001/2002, with a percentile of 8.74%. The monthly average is

1,101,088.48 kilos with standard deflection of 13,517.94 kilos, ranging between

905,407and 1,407,015 kilos, being that the year2003 showed the biggestmonthlyvariation(standarddeflectionof116,037.63kilos). In2002,thesmallestvariationwas

shown(68,853.22kilos).

According to the methodology proposed by Makridakis; Wheelwright & Hyndman

(1998),itisimportanttoanalyzethetemporalseriesinordertofindoutpatternsinthe

data, specially, related to the seasoning, trend and cycle. To discover patterns,

Libonati; Ribeiro Filho; Carvalho & Lemis (2004), suggest the additive classical

decomposition, in which a certain data set is composed by the addition of theseasoningtrendandresidue.Thefirststepfor theadditiveclassicaldecomposition is

the determinationof data trend, through the use of centeredmoving average of 12
