Forecast evaluations for volatile time series :

نویسنده

چکیده

Standard forecasting criteria like the mean square error (MSE) compare point forecasts or a location parameter of the forecasting distribution with actual observations. Such criteria are less suited to comparing forecasts of volatile time series. Therefore we use the average predictive ordinate (APOC) criterion which evaluates the ordinate of the predictive distribution. Using the comparison to a no-change forecasting rule, we suggest taking the RPOC, the ratio of predictive ordinate criteria. We also suggest comparing two volatile forecasts by a decomposition of the squared distances of ordinates into a bias, variance and noise component. The new criteria are demonstrated for stock indices and exchange rates forecasts.

Day-ahead Price Forecasting of Electricity Markets by a New Hybrid Forecast Method

Energy price forecast is the key information for generating companies to prepare their bids in the electricity markets. However, this forecasting problem is complex due to nonlinear, non-stationary, and time variant behavior of electricity price time series. Accordingly, in this paper a new strategy is proposed for electricity price forecast. The forecast strategy includes Wavelet Transform (WT...

Interpolating time series based on fuzzy cluster analysis problem

This study proposes the model for interpolating time series to use them  to forecast effectively for future. This model is established based on the improved fuzzy clustering analysis problem, which is implemented by the Matlab procedure. The proposed model is illustrated by a data set and tested for many other datasets, especially for 3003 series in  M3-Competition data. Comparing  to the exist...

Using Wavelets and Splines to Forecast Non-Stationary Time Series

 This paper deals with a short term forecasting non-stationary time series using wavelets and splines. Wavelets can decompose the series as the sum of two low and high frequency components. Aminghafari and Poggi (2007) proposed to predict high frequency component by wavelets and extrapolate low frequency component by local polynomial fitting. We propose to forecast non-stationary process u...
