To enhance the prediction accuracy for crude oil price, a novel ensemble learning paradigm coupling complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and extended extreme learning machine (EELM) is proposed. This novel method is actually an improved model under the effective "decomposition and ensemble" framework, especially for nonlinear, complex, and irregular data. In this proposed method, CEEMD, a current extension from the competitive decomposition family of empirical mode decomposition (EMD), is first applied to divide the original data (i.e., difficult task) into a number of components (i.e., relatively easy subtasks). Then, EELM, a recently developed, powerful, fast and stable intelligent learning technique, is implemented to predict all extracted components individually. Finally, these predicted results are aggregated into an ensemble result as the final prediction using simple addition ensemble method. With the crude oil spot prices of WTI and Brent as sample data, the empirical results demonstrate that the novel CEEMD-based EELM ensemble model statistically outperforms all listed benchmarks (including typical forecasting techniques and similar ensemble models with other decomposition and ensemble tools) in prediction accuracy. The results also indicate that the novel model can be used as a promising forecasting tool for complicated time series data with high volatility and irregularity.

Crude oil price forecasting is an essential component of sustainable development of many countries as crude oil is an unavoidable product that exists on earth. In this paper, a model based on a hidden Markov model and Markov model for crude oil price forecasting was developed, and their relative performance was compared. Path analysis of Structural Equation Modelling was employed to model the effects of forecasted prices and the actual crude oil price to get the most accurate forecast. The key variables used to develop the models were monthly crude oil prices s from PETRONAS Malaysia. It was found that the hidden Markov model was more accurate than the Markov model in forecasting the crude oil price. The findings of this study show that the hidden Markov model is a potentially promising method of crude oil price forecasting that merit further study.
