The purpose of this work is discovering regularities in financial time series using Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) and related "Discovery" software system [Vityaev et al., 1992,1993] in data mining. Discovered regularities were used for forecasting the target variable, representing the relative difference in percent between today's closing price and the price five days ahead. We describe the...

Many researchers have used time series models to construct population forecasts and prediction intervals at the national level, but few have evaluated the accuracy of their forecasts or the out-of-sample validity of their prediction intervals. Fewer still have developed models for subnational areas. In this study, we develop and evaluate six ARIMA time series models for states in the United Sta...

Since malaria is prevalent in less developed and more remote areas in which public health resources are often scarce, targeted intervention is essential in allocating resources for effective malaria control. To effectively support targeted intervention, predictive models must be not only accurate but they must also have high temporal and spatial resolution to help determine when and where to in...

Short-term forecast of pertussis incidence is helpful for advanced warning and planning resource needs for future epidemics. By utilizing the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model and Exponential Smoothing (ETS) model as alterative models with R software, this paper analyzed data from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) between January 2005 and June 2...

3 We examine the effect of damping X-12-ARIMA's estimated seasonal variation on the accuracy of its seasonal adjustments of time series. Two methods for damping seasonals are proposed. In a simulation experiment, we generated time series data for each of 90 distinct experimental conditions that, in aggregate, characterize the variety of monthly series in the M3-competition. X-12-ARIMA consisten...

This article attempts to present a basic method of time series analysis, modelling and forecasting performance of ARIMA, GARCH (1,1) and mixed ARIMA GARCH (1,1) models using historical daily close price downloaded through the yahoo finance website from the NASDAQ stock exchange for GE company (USA) during the period of 2001 to 2014. This paper also presents a brief analysis technique introducti...

Time series forecasting plays a significant role in numerous applications, including but not limited to, industrial planning, water consumption, medical domains, exchange rates and consumer price index. The main problem is insufficient accuracy. present study proposes hybrid methods to address this need. proposed method includes three models. first model based on the autoregressive integrated m...
