Hi!

t0/t1/... is just the timestamp for which you are calculating the "prediction".

The Computation made is: F(t0)=AVG[ (t0-shift1-window ; t0-shift1) ; (t0-shift2-window;t0-shift2);... ]

For other Predictions you have to use Holt-Winters forcasting during Data gathering, but I have never used it (especially for Graphing)...

Ciao,
