متن کاملForecast of Iran’s Electricity Consumption Using a Combined Approach of Neural Networks and Econometrics
Electricity cannot be stored and needs huge amount of capital so producers and consumers pay special attention to predict electricity consumption. Besides, time-series data of the electricity market are chaotic and complicated. Nonlinear methods such as Neural Networks have shown better performance for predicting such kind of data. We also need to analyze other variables affecting electricity c...
متن کاملConfidence Regions, Regularization and Non-Parametric Regression
In this paper we offer a unified approach to the problem of nonparametric regression on the unit interval. It is based on a universal, honest and non-asymptotic confidence region An which is defined by a set of linear inequalities involving the values of the functions at the design points. Interest will typically centre on certain simplest functions in An where simplicity can be defined in term...
متن کاملA new non-parametric approach for suppliers selection
In this paper we propose a simple non-parametric model for multiple crite-ria supplier selection problem. The proposed model does not generate a zeroweight for a certain criterion and ranks the suppliers without solving the modeln times (one linear programming (LP) for each supplier) and therefore allowsthe manager to get faster results. The methodology is illustrated using anexample.
