Since December 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is outbreak from China and infected more than 4,666,000 people and caused thousands of deaths. Unfortunately, the infection numbers and deaths are still increasing rapidly which has put the world on the catastrophic abyss edge. Application of artificial intelligence and spatiotemporal distribution techniques can play a key role to infection forecasting in national and province levels in many countries. As methodology, the presented study employs long short-term memory-based deep for time series forecasting, the confirmed cases in both national and province levels, in Iran. The data were collected from February 19, to March 22, 2020 in provincial level and from February 19, to May 13, 2020 in national level by nationally recognised sources. For justification, we use the recurrent neural network, seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average, Holt winter's exponential smoothing, and moving averages approaches. Furthermore, the mean absolute error, mean squared error, and mean absolute percentage error metrics are used as evaluation factors with associate the trend analysis. The results of our experiments show that the LSTM model is performed better than the other methods on the collected COVID-19 dataset in Iran

In the forecasting time series field, the combination of techniques to aid in predicting different patterns has been the subject of several studies. Hybrid models have been widely applied in this scenario, where the vast majority of series are composed of linear and nonlinear patterns. The Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) presents satisfactory results in a linear pattern prediction but can not capture nonlinear ones. In dealing with nonlinear patterns, the Support Vector Regression (SVR) has shown promising results. In order to map both patterns, an optimized nonlinear combination model based on SVR and ARIMA is proposed. The main difference in comparison with other works is the use of an interactive Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to increase the prediction performance. To the experimental setup, six well-known datasets of the literature is used. The performance is assessed by the metrics Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). The results show the proposed system attains better outcomes when compared to the other tested techniques, for most of the used data.

Forecasting of potential tourists’ appearance could assume a critical role in the tourism industry, arranging at all levels in both the private and public sectors. In this study our aim to build an econometric model to forecast worldwide visitor streams to Bangladesh. For this purpose, the present investigation focuses on univariate Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) modeling. Model choice criteria were Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Squared Error (RMSE). As per descriptive statistics, the mean appearances were 207012 and will be 656522 (application) every year. Mean Absolute Deviation and Mean Squared Deviation likewise concurred with MAPE, MAE, and MSE. The result reveals that for sustainable development the SARIMA model is the reasonable model for forecasting universal visitor appearances in Bangladesh.

Abstract Background Forest canopies are highly sensitive to their growth, health, and climate change. The study aims to obtain time sequence images in mix foresters using a near-earth remote sensing method to track the seasonal variation in the color index and select the optimal color index. Three different regions of interest (RIOs) were defined and six color indexes (GRVI, HUE, GGR, RCC, GCC, and GEI) were calculated to analyze the microenvironment difference. The key phenological phase was identified using the double logistic model and the derivative method, and the phenology forecast of color indexes was performed based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) model. Results The results showed that the same color index in different RIOs and different color indexes in the same RIO present a slight difference in the days of growth and the days corresponding to the peak value, exhibiting different phenological phases; the mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the LSTM model was 0.0016, 0.0405, 0.0334, and 12.55%, respectively, indicating that this model has a good forecast effect. Conclusions In different areas of the same forest, differences in the micro-ecological environment in the canopies were prevalent, with their internal growth mechanism being affected by different cultivation ways and the external environment. Besides, the optimal color index also varies with species in phenological response, that is, different color indexes are used for different forests. With the data of color indexes as the training set and forecast set, the feasibility of the LSTM model in phenology forecast is verified.

Photovoltaic (PV) modules convert renewable and sustainable solar energy into electricity. However, the uncertainty of PV power production brings challenges for the grid operation. To facilitate the management and scheduling of PV power plants, forecasting is an essential technique. In this paper, a robust multilayer perception (MLP) neural network was developed for day-ahead forecasting of hourly PV power. A generic MLP is usually trained by minimizing the mean squared loss. The mean squared error is sensitive to a few particularly large errors that can lead to a poor estimator. To tackle the problem, the pseudo-Huber loss function, which combines the best properties of squared loss and absolute loss, was adopted in this paper. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method was verified by benchmarking against a generic MLP network with real PV data. Numerical experiments illustrated that the proposed method performed better than the generic MLP network in terms of root mean squared error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE).

Perkembangan produksi daging sapi di Indonesia selama 30 tahun terakhir secara umum cenderung meningkat. Kebutuhan daging sapi di Indonesia masih belum bisa dicukupi oleh supply domestik, sehingga diperlukan impor daging sapi dari luar negeri.  Diperlukan kajian tentang proyeksi ketersediaan populasi sapi potong di masa mendatang agar diambil kebijakan yang tepat dalam menjaga stabilitas dan keterpenuhan supply daging nasional.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan peramalan jumlah populasi sapi potong menggunakan 3 (tiga) metode peramalan yaitu metode moving average, exponential smoothing dan trend analysis.  Hasil peramalan ini selanjutnya diukur akurasinya menggunakan MAD (Mean Absolud Deviation), MSE (Mean Squared Error) dan MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error).  Proyeksi populasi sapi potong pada tahun 2019 (periode berikutnya) menggunakan 3 metode peramalan adalah: 195.100 (moving average); 218.225 (exponential smooting) dan 262.899 (trend analysis). Pengukuran akurasi menggunakan MAD, MSE dan MAPE menunjukkan bahwa metode peramalan jumlah populasi sapi potong yang paling akurat adalah peramalan menggunakan metode polynomial trend analysis (MAD 14.716,12;  MSE 327.282.084,17; dan MAPE 0,09) karena memiliki tingkat kesalahan yang lebih kecil dibandingkan hasil peramalan menggunakan metode moving average dan exponential smoothing.

Export plays an important role in promoting economic growth and development. The study is conducted to make an efficient forecasting of tea export from Bangladesh for mitigating the risk of export in the world market. Forecasting has been done by fitting Box-Jenkins type autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model. The best ARIMA model is selected by comparing the criteria- coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean absolute error (MAE) and Bayesian information criteria (BIC). Among the Box-Jenkins ARIMA type models for tea export the ARIMA (1,1,3) model is the most appropriate one for forecasting and the forecast values in thousand kilogram for the year 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22, are 1096.48, 812.83, 1122.02, 776.25 and 794.33 with upper limit 1819.70, 1348.96, 1862.09, 1288.25, 1318.26 and lower limit 660.69, 489.78, 676.08, 467.74, 478.63, respectively. So, the result of this model may be helpful for the policymaker to make an export development plan for the country.

The paper provides general matrix formulas for minimum mean squared error signal extraction for a finitely sampled time series whose signal and noise components are nonstationary autoregressive integrated moving average processes. These formulas are quite practical; in addition to being simple to implement on a computer, they make it possible to easily derive important general properties of the signal extraction filters. We also extend these formulas to estimates of future values of the unobserved signal, and we show how this result combines signal extraction and forecasting.

Vehicle acceleration and deceleration maneuvers at traffic signals result in significant fuel and energy consumption levels. Green light optimal speed advisory systems require reliable estimates of signal switching times to improve vehicle energy/fuel efficiency. Obtaining these estimates is difficult for actuated signals where the length of each green indication changes to accommodate varying traffic conditions and pedestrian requests. This study details a four-step long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning based methodology that can be used to provide reasonable switching time estimates from green to red and vice versa while being robust to missing data. The four steps are data gathering, data preparation, machine learning model tuning, and model testing and evaluation. The input to the models includes controller logic, signal timing parameters, time of day, traffic state from detectors, vehicle actuation data, and pedestrian actuation data. The methodology is applied and evaluated on data from an intersection in Northern Virginia. A comparative analysis is conducted between different loss functions including the mean squared error, mean absolute error, and mean relative error used in LSTM and a new loss function that is proposed in this paper. The results show that while the proposed loss function outperforms conventional loss functions in overall absolute error values, the choice of the loss function is dependent on the prediction horizon. Specifically, the proposed loss function is slightly outperformed by the mean relative error for very short prediction horizons (less than 20 s) and the mean squared error for very long prediction horizons (greater than 120 s).

Ethanol is one of the most used fuels in Brazil, which is the second-largest producer of this biofuel in the world. The uncertainty of price direction in the future increases the risk for agents operating in this market and can affect a dependent price chain, such as food and gasoline. This paper uses the architecture of recurrent neural networks—Long short-term memory (LSTM)—to predict Brazilian ethanol spot prices for three horizon-times (12, 6 and 3 months ahead). The proposed model is compared to three benchmark algorithms: Random Forest, SVM Linear and RBF. We evaluate statistical measures such as MSE (Mean Squared Error), MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error), and accuracy to assess the algorithm robustness. Our findings suggest LSTM outperforms the other techniques in regression, considering both MSE and MAPE but SVM Linear is better to identify price trends. Concerning predictions per se, all errors increase during the pandemic period, reinforcing the challenge to identify patterns in crisis scenarios.
