A Comparison of Time Series Model Forecasting Methods on Patent Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ability to create forecasts and discover trends is a value to almost any industry. The challenge comes in finding the right data and the appropriate tools to analyze and model such data. This paper aims to demonstrate that it may be possible to create technology forecasting models through the use of patent groups. The focus will be on applying time series modeling techniques to a collection of USPTO patents from 1996 to 2013. The techniques used are Holt-Winters Exponential Smoothing and ARIMA. Cross validation methods were used to determine the best fitting models and ultimately whether or not patent data could be modeled as a time series.

متن کاملA NEW APPROACH BASED ON OPTIMIZATION OF RATIO FOR SEASONAL FUZZY TIME SERIES
In recent years, many studies have been done on forecasting fuzzy time series. First-order fuzzy time series forecasting methods with first-order lagged variables and high-order fuzzy time series forecasting methods with consecutive lagged variables constitute the considerable part of these studies. However, these methods are not effective in forecasting fuzzy time series which contain seasonal...
