Discrete grey forecasting model and its optimization

Although the grey forecasting model has been successfully adopted in various fields and demonstrated promising results, the literatures show its performance could be further improved. For this purpose, this paper proposes a novel discrete grey forecasting model termed DGM model and a series of optimized models of DGM. This paper modifies the algorithm of GM(1, 1) model to enhance the tendency catching ability. The relationship between the two models and the forecasting precision of DGM model based on the pure index sequence is discussed. And further studies on three basic forms and three optimized forms of DGM model are also discussed. As shown in the results, the proposed model and its optimized models can increase the prediction accuracy. When the system is stable approximately, DGM model and the optimized models can effectively predict the developing system. This work contributes significantly to improve grey forecasting theory and proposes more novel grey forecasting models.     

Prediction of index futures returns and the analysis of financial spillovers—A comparison between GARCH and the grey theorem

This paper adopts the GM(1, 1) model to predict the rates of return of nine major index futures in the American and Eurasian markets. In a further step, by means of local grey relational analysis and by employing the GM(1, N) model for the first time, the variation relatedness and the main influencing factor among the above mentioned targeted markets is determined. Then, a comparison between GARCH/TGARCH and the grey theory with regard to predictive power is conducted. The findings reveal that the GARCH/TGARCH model performs better than the GM(1, 1), including the optimal α method, in terms of forecasting capabilities. Meanwhile, it is also found that GARCH and spillover effects indeed exist. Moreover, GM(1, N) also reveals that the daily rate of return of the Dow Jones index futures has the most influence on the rates of return of the other index futures.     

The deterministic grey dynamic model with convolution integral DGDMC(1, n)

Although the grey forecasting models have been successfully utilized in many fields and demonstrated promising results, literatures show their performance still could be improved. The grey prediction theory is methodology and it is necessary to constantly present new models or algorithm based on the theory to improve its performance, prediction accuracy especially. For this purpose, this paper proposes a new prediction model called the deterministic grey dynamic model with convolution integral, abbreviated as DGDMC(1, n). Improvements upon the existing grey prediction model GM(1, n) are made to a large extent and the messages for a system can be inserted sufficiently. The major improvements include determining the unbiased estimates of the system parameters by the deterministic convergence scheme, introducing the first derivative of the 1-AGO data of each associated series into the DGDMC(1, n) model to strengthen the indicative significance and evaluating the modelling 1-AGO data of the predicted series by the convolution integral. The indirect measurement of the tensile strength of a material for a higher temperature is adpoted for demonstration. The results show that the accuracy of indirect measurement is higher by the DGDMC(1, n) model than by the existing GM(1, n) model.

A research on the grey prediction model GM(1,n)

The grey theory can be applied in the research of prediction, decision-making and control, especially in prediction. The primary characteristic of a grey system is the incompleteness of information. A grey system could be whitened by way of inserting more messages in itself and its accuracy of prediction could be raised. The solution to the existing grey prediction model GM(1,n) is inaccurate and then its prediction accuracy cannot be expected. To solve the existing GM(1,n) by assuming step by step the first order accumulated generating operation data of the associated series to be constants is incorrect. The existing model GM(1,n) is seriously wrong even for a system having a nonnegative associated series with constant entries. There are currently only a few wrong papers based on the existing GM(1,n) model to be published. Almost all the improved prediction models based on the existing GM(1,n) model are correct. For example, the improved models are correct by convolution integral or fitting their forcing terms by several elementary functions. The algorithm of GMC(1,n) is applied to explain why the existing GM(1,n) model is incorrect in this article.

Forecasting energy demand using neural-network-based grey residual modification models

Grey forecasting models have taken an important role for forecasting energy demand, particularly the GM(1,1) model, because they are able to construct a forecasting model using a limited samples without statistical assumptions. To improve prediction accuracy of a GM(1,1) model, its predicted values are often adjusted by establishing a residual GM(1,1) model, which together form a grey residual modification model. Two main issues should be considered: the sign estimation for a predicted residual and the way the two models are constructed. Previous studies have concentrated on the former issue. However, since both models are usually established in the traditional manner, which is dependent on a specific parameter that is not easily determined, this paper focuses on the latter issue, incorporating the neural-network-based GM(1,1) model into a residual modification model to resolve the drawback. Prediction accuracies of the proposed neural-network-based prediction models were verified using real power and energy demand cases. Experimental results verify that the proposed prediction models perform well in comparison with original ones.

A grey modeling procedure based on the data smoothing index for short-term manufacturing demand forecast

Product life cycles have become increasingly shorter because of global competition. Under fierce competition, the use of small samples to establish demand forecasting models is crucial for enterprises. However, limited samples typically cannot provide sufficient information; therefore, this presents a major challenge to managers who must determine demand development trends. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a modified grey forecasting model, called DSI–GM(1,1). Specifically, we developed a data smoothing index to analyze the data behavior and rewrite the calculation equation of the background value in the applied grey modeling, constructing a suitable model for superior forecasting performance according to data characteristics. Employing a test on monthly demand data of thin film transistor liquid crystal display panels and the monthly average price of aluminum for cash buyers, the proposed modeling procedure resulted in high prediction outcomes; therefore, it is an appropriate tool for forecasting short-term demand with small samples.
