What would you like to understand?

There are two mathematically equivalent forms of the exponential smoothing formula. The first is the error correction form: $F_{t+1} = F_t + \alpha(A_t - F_t)$.

Conditions: You are performing exponential smoothing calculations.; You want to understand the relationship between the two formula forms.
