NGUSD Commodity   3.40  0.27  8.63%   
The Naive Prediction forecasted value of Natural Gas on the next trading day is expected to be 3.26 with a mean absolute deviation of 0.11 and the sum of the absolute errors of 7.06. Investors can use prediction functions to forecast Natural Gas' commodity prices and determine the direction of Natural Gas's future trends based on various well-known forecasting models. However, exclusively looking at the historical price movement is usually misleading.
  
A naive forecasting model for Natural Gas is a special case of the moving average forecasting where the number of periods used for smoothing is one. Therefore, the forecast of Natural Gas value for a given trading day is simply the observed value for the previous period. Due to the simplistic nature of the naive forecasting model, it can only be used to forecast up to one period.

Natural Gas Naive Prediction Price Forecast For the 27th of November

Given 90 days horizon, the Naive Prediction forecasted value of Natural Gas on the next trading day is expected to be 3.26 with a mean absolute deviation of 0.11, mean absolute percentage error of 0.02, and the sum of the absolute errors of 7.06.
Please note that although there have been many attempts to predict Natural Commodity prices using its time series forecasting, we generally do not recommend using it to place bets in the real market. The most commonly used models for forecasting predictions are the autoregressive models, which specify that Natural Gas' next future price depends linearly on its previous prices and some stochastic term (i.e., imperfectly predictable multiplier).

Natural Gas Forecasted Value

In the context of forecasting Natural Gas' Commodity value on the next trading day, we examine the predictive performance of the model to find good statistically significant boundaries of downside and upside scenarios. Natural Gas' downside and upside margins for the forecasting period are 0.03 and 8.25, respectively. We have considered Natural Gas' daily market price to evaluate the above model's predictive performance. Remember, however, there is no scientific proof or empirical evidence that traditional linear or nonlinear forecasting models outperform artificial intelligence and frequency domain models to provide accurate forecasts consistently.

The below table displays some essential indicators generated by the model showing the Naive Prediction forecasting method's relative quality and the estimations of the prediction error of Natural Gas commodity data series using in forecasting. Note that when a statistical model is used to represent Natural Gas commodity, the representation will rarely be exact; so some information will be lost using the model to explain the process. AIC estimates the relative amount of information lost by a given model: the less information a model loses, the higher its quality.

This model is not at all useful as a medium-long range forecasting tool of Natural Gas. This model is simplistic and is included partly for completeness and partly because of its simplicity. It is unlikely that you'll want to use this model directly to predict Natural Gas. Instead, consider using either the moving average model or the more general weighted moving average model with a higher (i.e., greater than 1) number of periods, and possibly a different set of weights.
