Unscheduled maintenance of aircraft can cause significant costs. The machine needs to be repaired before it can operate again. Thus it is desirable to have concepts and methods to prevent unscheduled maintenance. This paper proposes a method for forecasting the condition of aircraftt air conditioning system based on observed past data. Forecasting is done in a point by point way, by iterating t...

Time series forecasting has gained much attention due to its many practical applications. Higher-order neural network with recurrent feedback is a powerful technique that has been used successfully for time series forecasting. It maintains fast learning and the ability to learn the dynamics of the time series over time. Network output feedback is the most common recurrent feedback for many recu...

From the security point of view malware evolution forecasting is very important, since it provides an opportunity to predict malware epidemic outbreaks, develop effective countermeasure techniques and evaluate information security level. Genetic algorithm approach for mobile malware evolution forecasting already proved its effectiveness. There exists a number of simulation tools based on the Ge...

This study evaluates the performance of three alternative models for forecasting daily interbank exchange rate of U.S. dollar measured in Pak rupees. The simple ARIMA models and complex models such as GARCH-type models and a state space model are discussed and compared. Four different measures are used to evaluate the forecasting accuracy. The main result is the state space model provides the b...

This paper presents Multivariate-Factors fuzzy time series model for improving forecasting accuracy. The proposed model is based on fuzzy clustering and it employs eight main procedures to build the multivariate-factors model. The model is evaluated by studying the Egypt Wheat imports as a forecasting problem. Forecasting Egypt wheat imports depend on three factors: population size, wheat area,...

Intelligent time-series forecasting is important in several applied domains. Artificially intelligent methods for forecasting are being consistently sought. The effect of noise on time-series prediction is important to quantify for accurate forecasting with these systems. Conventionally, noise is considered obstructive to accurate forecasting. In this paper we analyse the noise impact on time-s...

Increasing environmental awareness and energy costs encourage the increase of the contribution of renewable energy sources (RES) to the energy supply of buildings. However, the integration of RES and energy storage systems introduces significant challenges for the energy management system (EMS) of complex building energy systems. An energy management strategy based on fixed control rules may fa...

Swarm intelligence (SI) is widely and successfully applied in the engineering field to solve practical optimization problems because various hybrid models, which are based on the SI algorithm and statistical models, are developed to further improve the predictive abilities. In this paper, hybrid intelligent forecasting models based on the cuckoo search (CS) as well as the singular spectrum anal...
