The predictability of network traffic is a significant interest in many domains such as congestion control, admission control, and network management. An accurate traffic prediction model should have the ability to capture prominent traffic characteristics, such as long-range dependence (LRD) and self-similarity in the large time scale, multifractal in small time scale. In this paper we propose...

This paper proposes a new method for crude oil price forecasting based on support vector machine (SVM). The procedure of developing a support vector machine model for time series forecasting involves data sampling, sample preprocessing, training & learning and out-of-sample forecasting. To evaluate the forecasting ability of SVM, we compare its performance with those of ARIMA and BPNN. The expe...

This report surveys time series methods that have been used and can be applied in predicting end-to-end delay of the Internet. ARIMA scheme and state-space approach are discussed and compared. Although state-space approach has the advantages in structure and computation, ARIMA modeling is still useful in identifying systems due to the complexity and uncertainty of the Internet. A practical exam...

Recently Hybrid model approach has led to a tremendous surge in many domains of science and engineering. In this study, we present the advantage ANN improve time series forecasting precision. The Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models are used separately recognize linear nonlinear components data set respectively. manner, proposed tactically util...

The well-known Box-Jenkins’ Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) methodology for fitting time-series data has some major limitations. To this end, Exponential Autoregressive (EXPAR) family of models may be employed. An important characteristic feature of EXPAR is that it is capable of modelling those data sets that depict cyclical variations. Further, it can also be used when data s...

Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important process in the hydrological cycle and needs to be accurately quantified for proper irrigation scheduling and optimal water resources systems operation. The time variant characteristics of ET necessitate the need for forecasting ET. In this paper, two techniques, namely a seasonal ARIMA model and Winter's exponential smoothing model, have been inv...

The paper investigates an artificial intelligence based demand forecasting method. A neural network driven automatic ARIMA model identification is being introduced. The limitations of the current methods are shown and a new identification concept is presented. It is being discussed that the model identification with a neural network is less sensitive to input errors through its intuitive capabi...

AIM To study the application of artificial neural network (ANN) in forecasting the incidence of hepatitis A, which had an autoregression phenomenon. METHODS The data of the incidence of hepatitis A in Liaoning Province from 1981 to 2001 were obtained from Liaoning Disease Control and Prevention Center. We used the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model of time series analysis ...
