Ensemble-based methods for forecasting census in hospital units
BACKGROUND The ability to accurately forecast census counts in hospital departments has considerable implications for hospital resource allocation. In recent years several different methods have been proposed forecasting census counts, however many of these approaches do not use available patient-specific information. METHODS In this paper we present an ensemble-based methodology for forecast...
متن کاملComparing Ensemble-Based Forecasting Methods for Smart-Metering Data
This work provides a preliminary study on applying state-of-the-art time-series forecasting methods to electrical energy consumption data recorded by smart metering equipment. We compare a custom-build commercial baseline method to modern ensemble-based methods from statistical time-series analysis and to a modern commercial GP system. Our preliminary results indicate that that modern ensemble-...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Based Ensemble Forecasting
Ensemble forecasting involves the use of several integrations of a numerical model. Even if this model is assumed to be known, ensembles are needed due to uncertainty in initial conditions. The ideas discussed in this paper incorporate aspects of both analytic model approximations and Monte Carlo arguments to gain some eeciency in the generation and use of ensembles. EEciency is gained through ...
متن کاملEnsemble re-forecasting methods for enhanced power load prediction
Electric load forecasting is a key element for management and operation of the electric grid. In this study we introduce ensemble re-forecast methods that take an initial forecast and produce a better prediction by extracting information from the structured errors. The models in the ensemble rely upon the real-time information obtained from load measurements and estimates over a state-wide doma...
متن کاملBenchmark Forecasting in Data Envelopment Analysis for Decision Making Units
Although DEA is a powerful method in evaluating DMUs, it does have some limitations. One of the limitations of this method is the result of the evaluation is based on previously data and the results are not proper for forecasting the future changes. So For this purpose, we design feedback loops for forecasting inputs and outputs through system dynamics and simulation. Then we use DEA model to f...
