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.     

A mathematical modeling for incorporating energy price hikes into total natural gas consumption forecasting

In some countries that energy prices are low, price elasticity of demand may not be significant. In this case, large increase or hike in energy prices may impact energy consumption in a way which cannot be drawn from historical data. This paper proposes an integrated adaptive fuzzy inference system (FIS) to forecast long-term natural gas (NG) consumption when prices experience large increase. To incorporate the impact of price hike into modeling, a novel procedure for construction and adaptation of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy inference system (TS-FIS) is suggested. Linear regressions are used to construct a first order TS-FIS. Furthermore, adaptive network-based FIS (ANFIS) is used to forecast NG consumption in power plants. To cope with random uncertainty in small historical data sets, Monte Carlo simulation is utilized to generate training data for ANFIS. To show the applicability and usefulness of the proposed model, it is applied for forecasting of annual NG consumption in Iran where removing energy subsidies has resulted in a hike in NG prices.     

Volatility forecasting for interbank offered rate using grey extreme learning machine: The case of China

Interbank Offered rate is the only direct market rate in China’s currency market. Volatility forecasting of China Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR) has a very important theoretical and practical significance for financial asset pricing and financial risk measure or management. However, IBOR is a dynamics and non-steady time series whose developmental changes have stronger random fluctuation, so it is difficult to forecast the volatility of IBOR. This paper offers a hybrid algorithm using grey model and extreme learning machine (ELM) to forecast volatility of IBOR. The proposed algorithm is composed of three phases. In the first, grey model is used to deal with the original IBOR time series by accumulated generating operation (AGO) and weaken the stochastic volatility in original series. And then, a forecasting model is founded by using ELM to analyze the new IBOR series. Lastly, the predictive value of the original IBOR series can be obtained by inverse accumulated generating operation (IAGO). The new model is applied to forecasting Interbank Offered Rate of China. Compared with the forecasting results of BP and classical ELM, the new model is more efficient to forecasting short- and middle-term volatility of IBOR.

Multi-variable grey model based on dynamic background algorithm for forecasting the interval sequence

The multi-variable grey model based on dynamic background algorithm improves the forecasting performance of the multi-variable grey model on the precise number sequence. In order to make this model suitable for the interval sequence, the matrix form of the multi-variable grey model based on dynamic background algorithm is proposed in the paper. In the modeling process, the interval is treated as a two-dimensional column vector, the parameters of the multi-variable grey model are replaced by matrices, and the dynamic background algorithm for interval sequences is proposed. The analysis results of the matrix algorithm for the dynamic background value and the prediction formula show that the new model is essentially a way to predict one of the two bounds of an interval by combining them, reflecting the integrity and interaction between the lower and upper bounds. The interval predictions of industrial electricity consumption of Zhejiang Province, China national electricity consumption and consumer price index show that the new model can well predict the minimum and maximum values of the interval sequence and has better prediction performance compared with the method of predicting each boundary sequence separately.     

Day‐ahead price forecasting based on hybrid prediction model

Short‐Term Price Forecast is a key issue for operation of both regulated power systems and electricity markets. Energy price forecast is the key information for generating companies to prepare their bids in the electricity markets. However, this forecasting problem is complex due to nonlinear, nonstationary, and time variant behavior of electricity price time series. So, in this article, the forecast model includes wavelet transform, autoregressive integrated moving average, and radial basis function neural networks (RBFN) is presented. Also, an intelligent algorithm is applied to optimize the RBFN structure, which adapts it to the specified training set, reduce computational complexity and avoids over fitting. Effectiveness of the proposed method is applied for price forecasting of electricity market of mainland Spain and its results are compared with the results of several other price forecast methods. These comparisons confirm the validity of the developed approach. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 156–164, 2016     

Neuro-fuzzy approach for short-term electricity price forecasting developed MATLAB-based software

Bid and offer competition is a main transaction approach in deregulated electricity markets. Locational marginal prices (LMP) resulting from bidding competition determine electricity prices at a node or in an area. The LMP exhibits important information for market participants to develop their bidding strategies. Moreover, LMP is also a vital indicator for a Security Coordinator to perform market redispatch for congestion management. This paper presents a method using modular feed forward neural networks (FFNN) and fuzzy inference system (FIS) for forecasting LMPs. FFNN is used to forecast the electricity prices in a short time horizon and FIS to forecast the prices of special days. FFNN system includes an autocorrelation method for selecting parameters and methods for data preprocessing and preparing historical data to train the artificial neural network (ANN). In this paper, the historical LMPs of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland (PJM) market are used to test the proposed method. It is found that the proposed neuro-fuzzy method is capable of forecasting LMP values efficiently. In addition, MATLAB-based software is designed to test and use the proposed model in different markets and environments. This is an efficient tool to study and model power markets for price forecasting. It is included with a database management system, data classifier, input variable selection, FFNN and FIS configuration and report generator in custom formats.     

A new method to mitigate data fluctuations for time series prediction

Although the classic exponential-smoothing models and grey prediction models have been widely used in time series forecasting, this paper shows that they are susceptible to fluctuations in samples. A new fractional bidirectional weakening buffer operator for time series prediction is proposed in this paper. This new operator can effectively reduce the negative impact of unavoidable sample fluctuations. It overcomes limitations of existing weakening buffer operators, and permits better control of fluctuations from the entire sample period. Due to its good performance in improving stability of the series smoothness, the new operator can better capture the real developing trend in raw data and improve forecast accuracy. The paper then proposes a novel methodology that combines the new bidirectional weakening buffer operator and the classic grey prediction model. Through a number of case studies, this method is compared with several classic models, such as the exponential smoothing model and the autoregressive integrated moving average model, etc. Values of three error measures show that the new method outperforms other methods, especially when there are data fluctuations near the forecasting horizon. The relative advantages of the new method on small sample predictions are further investigated. Results demonstrate that model based on the proposed fractional bidirectional weakening buffer operator has higher forecasting accuracy.
