Forecasting seasonal time series data: a Bayesian model averaging approach

A flexible Bayesian periodic autoregressive model is used for the prediction of quarterly and monthly time series data. As the unknown autoregressive lag order, the occurrence of structural breaks and their respective break dates are common sources of uncertainty these are treated as random quantities within the Bayesian framework. Since no analytical expressions for the corresponding marginal posterior predictive distributions exist a Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach based on data augmentation is proposed. Its performance is demonstrated in Monte Carlo experiments. Instead of resorting to a model selection approach by choosing a particular candidate model for prediction, a forecasting approach based on Bayesian model averaging is used in order to account for model uncertainty and to improve forecasting accuracy. For model diagnosis a Bayesian sign test is introduced to compare the predictive accuracy of different forecasting models in terms of statistical significance. In an empirical application, using monthly unemployment rates of Germany, the performance of the model averaging prediction approach is compared to those of model selected Bayesian and classical (non)periodic time series models.     

Newsvendor problem under complete uncertainty: a case of innovative products

The paper presents a new scenario-based decision rule for the classical version of the newsvendor problem (NP) under complete uncertainty (i.e. uncertainty with unknown probabilities). So far, NP has been analyzed under uncertainty with known probabilities or under uncertainty with partial information (probabilities known incompletely). The novel approach is designed for the sale of new, innovative products, where it is quite complicated to define probabilities or even probability-like quantities, because there are no data available for forecasting the upcoming demand via statistical analysis. The new procedure described in the contribution is based on a hybrid of Hurwicz and Bayes decision rules. It takes into account the decision maker’s attitude towards risk (measured by coefficients of optimism and pessimism) and the dispersion (asymmetry, range, frequency of extremes values) of payoffs connected with particular order quantities. It does not require any information about the probability distribution.

     

Evaluating predictive performance of judgemental extrapolations from simulated currency series

Judgemental forecasting of exchange rates is critical for financial decision-making. Detailed investigations of the potential effects of time-series characteristics on judgemental currency forecasts demand the use of simulated series where the form of the signal and probability distribution of noise are known. The accuracy measures Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Squared Error (MSE) are frequently applied quantities in assessing judgemental predictive performance on actual exchange rate data. This paper illustrates that, in applying these measures to simulated series with Normally distributed noise, it may be desirable to use their expected values after standardising the noise variance. A method of calculating the expected values for the MAE and MSE is set out, and an application to financial experts' judgemental currency forecasts is presented.     

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.     

RM approach for ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

Ranking of fuzzy numbers play an important role in decision making, optimization and forecasting etc. Fuzzy numbers must be ranked before an action is taken by a decision maker. In this paper, with the help of several counter examples, it is proved that ranking method proposed by Chen and Chen (Expert Systems with Applications 36 (3): 6833) is incorrect. The main aim of this paper is to propose a new approach for the ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The proposed ranking approach is based on rank and mode so it is named as an RM approach. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the proposed approach provides the correct ordering of generalized and normal trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and also the proposed approach is very simple and easy to apply in the real life problems. It is shown that proposed ranking function satisfies all the reasonable properties of fuzzy quantities proposed by Wang and Kerre (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 118 (3): 375).     

Hierarchical estimation as a basis for hierarchical forecasting

Email: l.w.g.strijbosch{at}uvt.nl Received on 6 November 2006. Accepted on 29 October 2007. In inventory management, hierarchical forecasting (HF) is ahot issue: families of items are formed for which total demandis forecasted; total forecast then is broken up to produce forecastsfor the individual items. Since HF is a complicated procedure,analytical results are hard to obtain; consequently, most literatureis based on simulations and case studies. This paper succeedsin following a more theoretical approach by simplifying theproblem: we consider estimation instead of forecasting. So,from a random sample we estimate both the total demand and thefraction of this total that individual items take; multiplyingthese two quantities gives a new estimate of the individualdemand. Then, our research question is: Can aggregation of items,followed by fractioning, lead to more accurate estimates ofindividual demand? We consider two simple situations that canbe analysed fully theoretically. Thirdly, a more practical situationis investigated by means of simulation.     

Predictability portraits for chaotic motions

The reliability of forecasts for chaotic motions varies with the state of the dynamical system. We define quantities that measure predictability and investigate their dependence on the initial state for different forecasting times. Two model systems are investigated, a driven damped pendulum and the Lorenz system. We use two different numerical methods to analyse the effect of finite resolution in determining the initial conditions on the reliability of forecasts. For the pendulum we also compare numerical forecasts with experimental data.     

Hybrid evolutionary algorithms in a SVR traffic flow forecasting model

Accurate urban traffic flow forecasting is critical to intelligent transportation system developments and implementations, thus, it has been one of the most important issues in the research on road traffic congestion. Due to complex nonlinear data pattern of the urban traffic flow, there are many kinds of traffic flow forecasting techniques in literature, thus, it is difficult to make a general conclusion which forecasting technique is superior to others. Recently, the support vector regression model (SVR) has been widely used to solve nonlinear regression and time series problems. This investigation presents a SVR traffic flow forecasting model which employs the hybrid genetic algorithm-simulated annealing algorithm (GA-SA) to determine its suitable parameter combination. Additionally, a numerical example of traffic flow data from northern Taiwan is used to elucidate the forecasting performance of the proposed SVRGA-SA model. The forecasting results indicate that the proposed model yields more accurate forecasting results than the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA), back-propagation neural network (BPNN), Holt-Winters (HW) and seasonal Holt-Winters (SHW) models. Therefore, the SVRGA-SA model is a promising alternative for forecasting traffic flow.
