The fast and accurate forecasting method can help makers to make appropriate strategy. Zadeh was given the definition of a fuzzy set in 1965. Song and Chissom proposed the definition and the forecasting framework of fuzzy time series in 1993. Sullivan and Woodall first proposed the forecasting method to handle one factor with probability Markov model in 1994. Li and Cheng proposed a stochastic ...

As renewable energy increasingly integrates into the electric power system, electric load forecasting and renewable energy power generation forecasting become more important. In this project, ARIMA and NARX are applied to build load forecasting model focusing on improving statistical and computational efficiency without losing accuracy. ARIMA turns out to be better for short term forecasting wh...

The forecasting of financial variables is a problem which has been investigated ever since economies began to develop. Modern day information technology now provides at the fingertips of forecasters an enormous range of historical data, automated forecasts and news stories. In addition to assisting with traditional financial forecasting problems this has allowed financial time series to be inve...

Leveraging smart metering solutions to support energy efficiency on the individual household level poses novel research challenges in monitoring usage and providing accurate load forecasting. Forecasting electricity usage is an especially important component that can provide intelligence to smart meters. In this paper, we propose an enhanced approach for load forecasting at the household level....

We present a case study of the development of an adaptive forecasting system for a leading personal computer (PC) manufacturer in South Korea. It is widely accepted that demand forecasting for products with short product life cycles (PLCs) is difficult, and the PLC of a PC is generally very short. The firm has various types of products, and the volatile demand patterns differ by product. Moreov...

For univariate forecasting, there are various statistical models and computational algorithms available. In real-world exercises, too many choices can create difficulties in selecting the most appropriate technique, especially for users lacking sufficient knowledge of forecasting. This paper provides evidence, in the form of an empirical study on forecasting accuracy, to show that there is no b...

Weather forecasting is a challenging time series forecasting problem because of its dynamic, continuous, data-intensive, chaotic and irregular behavior. At present, enormous time series forecasting techniques exist and are widely adapted. However, competitive research is still going on to improve the methods and techniques for accurate forecasting. This research article presents the time series...

A novel hybrid data-driven approach is developed for forecasting power system parameters with the goal of increasing the efficiency of short-term forecasting studies for non-stationary time-series. The proposed approach is based on mode decomposition and a feature analysis of initial retrospective data using the Hilbert-Huang transform and machine learning algorithms. The random forests and gra...

We consider forecasting a single time series when there is a large number of predictors and a possible nonlinear effect. The dimensionality was first reduced via a highdimensional factor model implemented by the principal component analysis. Using the extracted factors, we develop a link-free forecasting method, called the sufficient forecasting, which provides several sufficient predictive ind...

The problem of fuzzy time series forecasting plays an important role in many scientific areas such as statistics and neural networks. While forecasting fuzzy time series, most of forecasting applications use the same length of intervals. The determination of length of intervals is significant and critical in fuzzy time series forecasting. The usage of convenient performance measure may also hav...
