A comparison of univariate methods for forecasting container throughput volumes

In this paper, six univariate forecasting models for the container throughput volumes in Taiwan’s three major ports are presented. The six univariate models include the classical decomposition model, the trigonometric regression model, the regression model with seasonal dummy variables, the grey model, the hybrid grey model, and the SARIMA model. The purpose of this paper is to search for a model that can provide the most accurate prediction of container throughput. By applying monthly data to these models and comparing the prediction results based on mean absolute error, mean absolute percent error and root mean squared error, we find that in general the classical decomposition model appears to be the best model for forecasting container throughput with seasonal variations. The result of this study may be helpful for predicting the short-term variation in demand for the container throughput of other international ports.

Global sensitivity analysis using support vector regression

Global sensitivity analysis (GSA) plays an important role in exploring the respective effects of input variables on response variables. In this paper, a new kernel function derived from orthogonal polynomials is proposed for support vector regression (SVR). Based on this new kernel function, the Sobol’ global sensitivity indices can be computed analytically by the coefficients of the surrogate model built by SVR. In order to improve the performance of the SVR model, a kernel function iteration scheme is introduced further. Due to the excellent generalization performance and structural risk minimization principle, the SVR possesses the advantages of solving non-linear prediction problems with small samples. Thus, the proposed method is capable of computing the Sobol’ indices with a relatively limited number of model evaluations. The proposed method is examined by several examples, and the sensitivity analysis results are compared with the sparse polynomial chaos expansion (PCE), high dimensional model representation (HDMR) and Gaussian radial basis (RBF) SVR model. The examined examples show that the proposed method is an efficient approach for GSA of complex models.

Unsupervised extreme learning machine and support vector regression hybrid model for predicting energy commodity futures index

Support vector regression (SVR) has been successfully applied in various domains, including predicting the prices of different financial instruments like stocks, futures, options, and indices. Because of the wide variation in financial time-series data, instead of using only a single standard prediction technique like SVR, we propose a hybrid model called USELM-SVR. It is a combination of unsupervised extreme learning machine (US-ELM)-based clustering and SVR forecasting. We assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of this hybrid model using a case study, predicting the one-, two-, and three-day ahead closing values of the energy commodity futures index traded on the Multi Commodity Exchange in India. Our experimental results show that the USELM-SVR is viable and effective, and produces better forecasts than our benchmark models (standard SVR, a hybrid of SVR with self-organizing map (SOM) clustering, and a hybrid of SVR with k-means clustering). Moreover, the proposed USELM-SVR architecture is useful as an alternative model for prediction tasks when we require more accurate predictions.

Optimized prediction model for concrete dam displacement based on signal residual amendment

The traditional statistical model of concrete dam's displacement monitoring is used widely in hydraulic engineering. However, the forecasting precision of the conventional calculation model is poor due to the antiquated method of information mining and weak generalization capacity. Furthermore, the uncertain chaos effect implied in residual sequence is also intractable for modeling. In consideration of the nonlinearity, time variation, and unsteadiness of the chaotic characteristics of a dam time series, multiscale wavelet technology is used to decompose and reconstruct the residuals of multiple regression models. The fitting prediction of the low-frequency autocorrelation part is completed through the linear training ability of the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, and the support vector machine (SVM) regression model is constructed to optimize and process the nonlinear high-frequency signal. Then, a combined forecasting model for concrete dam's displacement based on signal residual amendment is established. The analysis of an engineering example indicates that the combined model built in this study can identify the time–frequency nonlinear characteristics of the prototype monitoring signal well, thus improving its fitting precision, antinoise ability, and robustness. In addition, the combined mathematical model established in this study is improved and developed for application to the prediction analysis of the effect quantities of other hydraulic structures.

Short-term prediction of wind power using EMD and chaotic theory

Due to the strong non-linear, complexity and non-stationary characteristics of wind farm power, a hybrid prediction model with empirical mode decomposition (EMD), chaotic theory, and grey theory is constructed. The EMD is used to decompose the wind farm power into several intrinsic mode function (IMF) components and one residual component. The grey forecasting model is used to predict the residual component. For the IMF components, identify their characteristics, if it is chaotic time series use largest Lyapunov exponent prediction method to predict. If not, use grey forecasting model to predict. Prediction results of residual component and all IMF components are aggregated to produce the ultimate predicted result for wind farm power. The ultimate predicted result shows that the proposed method has good prediction accuracy, can be used for short-term prediction of wind farm power.

Support vector regression for loss given default modelling

Loss given default modelling has become crucially important for banks due to the requirement that they comply with the Basel Accords and to their internal computations of economic capital. In this paper, support vector regression (SVR) techniques are applied to predict loss given default of corporate bonds, where improvements are proposed to increase prediction accuracy by modifying the SVR algorithm to account for heterogeneity of bond seniorities. We compare the predictions from SVR techniques with thirteen other algorithms. Our paper has three important results. First, at an aggregated level, the proposed improved versions of support vector regression techniques outperform other methods significantly. Second, at a segmented level, by bond seniority, least square support vector regression demonstrates significantly better predictive abilities compared with the other statistical models. Third, standard transformations of loss given default do not improve prediction accuracy. Overall our empirical results show that support vector regression techniques are a promising technique for banks to use to predict loss given default.
