Product Design Time Forecasting by Kernel-Based Regression with Gaussian Distribution Weights
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: There exist problems of small samples and heteroscedastic noise in design time forecasts. To solve them, a kernel-based regression with Gaussian distribution weights (GDW-KR) is proposed here. GDW-KR maintains a Gaussian distribution over weight vectors for the regression. It is applied to seek the least informative distribution from those that keep the target value within the confidence interval of the forecast value. GDW-KR inherits the benefits of Gaussian margin machines. By assuming a Gaussian distribution over weight vectors, it could simultaneously offer a point forecast and its confidence interval, thus providing more information about product design time. Our experiments with real examples verify the effectiveness and flexibility of GDW-KR.

Propagation of uncertainty in Bayesian kernel models - application to multiple-step ahead forecasting
The object of Bayesian modelling is the predictive distribution, which in a forecasting scenario enables evaluation of forecasted values and their uncertainties. In this paper we focus on reliably estimating the predictive mean and variance of forecasted values using Bayesian kernel based models such as the Gaussian Process and the Relevance Vector Machine. We derive novel analytic expressions ...

Integration of energy systems with information technologies has facilitated the realization of smart energy systems that utilize information to optimize system operation. To that end, crucial in optimizing energy system operation is the accurate, ahead-of-time forecasting of load demand. In particular, load forecasting allows planning of system expansion, and decision making for enhancing syste...
متن کاملMultiple Gaussian Process Models
We consider a Gaussian process formulation of the multiple kernel learning problem. The goal is to select the convex combination of kernel matrices that best explains the data and by doing so improve the generalisation on unseen data. Sparsity in the kernel weights is obtained by adopting a hierarchical Bayesian approach: Gaussian process priors are imposed over the latent functions and general...

متن کاملModelling the Working Week for Multi-Step Forecasting using Gaussian Process Regression
In time-series forecasting, regression is a popular method, with Gaussian Process Regression widely held to be the state of the art. The versatility of Gaussian Processes has led to them being used in many varied application domains. However, though many real-world applications involve data which follows a working-week structure, where weekends exhibit substantially different behaviour to weekd...
