Forecasting using Decomposition and Combinations of Experts
نویسندگان
چکیده
– We study the effect of decomposing a series into multiple components and performing forecasts on each component separately. The focus here is on sales data-most of the series considered display both seasonality and trend. Hence the original series is decomposed into trend, seasonality and an irregular component. Multiple forecasting 'experts' are used to forecast each component series. These range from different feedforward neural network topologies to Holt-Winter, ARIMA (of various orders) and double exponential smoothing. We compare the forecast errors with and without decomposition. We study the result of combining using the mean/median of all expert forecasts. Since our space of composite experts runs into the thousands, we experiment with more limited cardinalities using greedy elimination and best expert pair.

An intelligent strategy for the protection of AC microgrids is presented in this paper. This method was halving to an initial signal processing step and a machine learning-based forecasting step. The initial stage investigates currents and voltages with a window-based approach based on the dynamic decomposition method (DDM) and then involves the norms of the signals to the resultant DDM data. T...

The Short-term forecasting of electric load plays an important role in designing and operation of power systems. Due to the nature of the short-term electric load time series (nonlinear, non-constant, and non-seasonal), accurate prediction of the load is very challenging. In this article, a method for short-term daily and hourly load forecasting is proposed. In this method, in the first step, t...
متن کاملThe Impact of Forecasting Methods Combination for Reducing Bullwhip Effect in a Four-level Supply Chain under Variable Demand
Bullwhip effect in a supply chain, makes inefficiencies such as excess inventory and overdue orders during the chain. These problems can be reduced by appropriate predictions. Forecasting must be done in all levels of a supply chain. This research addresses the problem of optimal combination of forecasting to reduce the bullwhip effect in a four-level supply chain when demand is variable. For t...

Developing models for accurate natural gas spot price forecasting is critical because these forecasts are useful in determining a range of regulatory decisions covering both supply and demand of natural gas or for market participants. A price forecasting modeler needs to use trial and error to build mathematical models (such as ANN) for different input combinations. This is very time consuming ...

Presently, there are many models to predict the trend of a time series. However, different models have different prediction ability. Combinations of these models may provide a better performance than those provided by individuals. In this paper, experts are constructed by choosing different architectural parameters of two modified network models: Buffered Back-Propagation and Improved Clusnet. ...
