چکیده

Abstract Background Ensemble modeling aims to boost the forecasting performance by systematically integrating predictive accuracy across individual models. Here we introduce a simple-yet-powerful ensemble methodology for trajectory of dynamic growth processes that are defined system non-linear differential equations with applications infectious disease spread. Methods We propose and assess two schemes different parametric bootstrapping procedures uncertainty quantification. Specifically, conduct sequential probabilistic forecasts evaluate their using simple dynamical models good track records including Richards model, generalized-logistic Gompertz model. first test verify functionality method simulated data from phenomenological mechanistic transmission Next, is demonstrated diversity epidemic datasets scenario outbreak Ebola Forecasting Challenge real-world outbreaks influenza, plague, Zika, COVID-19. Results found randomly selects model set each time point frequently outcompeted as well an alternative based on weighted combination yields broader more realistic bounds envelope, achieving not only better coverage rate 95% prediction interval but also improved mean scores datasets. Conclusion Our new outcompete component differ in how variance evaluated generation intervals forecasts.

Ensemble of Differential Equations using Pareto Optimal for Traffic Forecasting

The formal and empirical proof is that the ensemble of the learning models performs better than the single one. In order to construct the ensemble of the system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the two problems (diversity and accuracy of ODEs) are considered. In the paper, we estimate experimentally the model ensemble using multi-objective optimization. This paper presents a pareto op...

Simulating and Forecasting OPEC Oil Price Using Stochastic Differential Equations

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a quantitative analysis to investigate the behavior of the OPEC oil price. Obtaining the best mathematical equation to describe the price and volatility of oil has a great importance. Stochastic differential equations are one of the best models to determine the oil price, because they include the random factor which can apply the effect of different ...

The bootstrap methodology in time series forecasting

The bootstrap methodology, initially proposed in independent situations, has revealed inefficient in the context of dependent data. Here, the estimation of population characteristics is more complex. This is what happens in the context of time series. There has been a great development in the area of resampling methods for dependent data. A revision of different approaches of this methodology f...
