Gene regulatory network (GRN) inference can understand the growth and development of animals and plants, and reveal the mystery of biology. Many computational approaches have been proposed to infer GRN. However, these inference approaches have hardly met the need of modeling, and the reducing redundancy methods based on individual information theory method have bad universality and stability. To overcome the limitations and shortcomings, this thesis proposes a novel algorithm, named HSCVFNT, to infer gene regulatory network with time-delayed regulations by utilizing a hybrid scoring method and complex-valued flexible neural network (CVFNT). The regulations of each target gene can be obtained by iteratively performing HSCVFNT. For each target gene, the HSCVFNT algorithm utilizes a novel scoring method based on time-delayed mutual information (TDMI), time-delayed maximum information coefficient (TDMIC) and time-delayed correlation coefficient (TDCC), to reduce the redundancy of regulatory relationships and obtain the candidate regulatory factor set. Then, the TDCC method is utilized to create time-delayed gene expression time-series matrix. Finally, a complex-valued flexible neural tree model is proposed to infer the time-delayed regulations of each target gene with the time-delayed time-series matrix. Three real time-series expression datasets from (Save Our Soul) SOS DNA repair system in E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are utilized to evaluate the performance of the HSCVFNT algorithm. As a result, HSCVFNT obtains outstanding F-scores of 0.923, 0.8 and 0.625 for SOS network and (In vivo Reverse-Engineering and Modeling Assessment) IRMA network inference, respectively, which are 5.5%, 14.3% and 72.2% higher than the best performance of other state-of-the-art GRN inference methods and time-delayed methods.

Symbolic regression has been utilized to infer mathematical formulas in order to solve the complex prediction and classification problems. In this paper, complex-valued S-system model (CVSS) is proposed to predict real-valued time series data. In a CVSS model, input variables and rate constants are complex-valued. The time series data need to be translated into complex numbers. The hybrid evolutionary algorithm based on complex-valued restricted additive tree and firefly algorithm is proposed to search the optimal CVSS model. Three financial time series data and Mackey–Glass chaos time series are collected to evaluate our proposed method. The experiment results show that the predicted data are very close to the target ones and our method could obtain the better RMSE, MAP, MAPE, POCID, R2, and ARV performances than ARIMA, radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), flexible neural tree (FNT), ordinary differential equation (ODE), and S-system.

It is important to predict a time series because many problems that are related to prediction such as health prediction problem, climate change prediction problem and weather prediction problem include a time component. To solve the time series prediction problem various techniques have been developed over many years to enhance the accuracy of forecasting. This paper presents a review of the prediction of physical time series applications using the neural network models. Neural Networks (NN) have appeared as an effective tool for forecasting of time series.  Moreover, to resolve the problems related to time series data, there is a need of network with single layer trainable weights that is Higher Order Neural Network (HONN) which can perform nonlinearity mapping of input-output. So, the developers are focusing on HONN that has been recently considered to develop the input representation spaces broadly. The HONN model has the ability of functional mapping which determined through some time series problems and it shows the more benefits as compared to conventional Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The goal of this research is to present the reader awareness about HONN for physical time series prediction, to highlight some benefits and challenges using HONN.

Purpose This study aims to make investment decisions in stock markets using forecasting-Markowitz based decision-making approaches. Design/methodology/approach The authors’ approach offers the use of time series prediction methods including autoregressive, autoregressive moving average and artificial neural network, rather than calculating the expected rate of return based on distribution. Findings The results show that using time series prediction methods has a significant effect on improving investment decisions and the performance of the investments. Originality/value In this study, in contrast to previous studies, the alteration in the Markowitz model started with the investment expected rate of return. For this purpose, instead of considering the distribution of returns and determining the expected returns, time series prediction methods were used to calculate the future return of each asset. Then, the results of different time series methods replaced the expected returns in the Markowitz model. Finally, the overall performance of the method, as well as the performance of each of the prediction methods used, was examined in relation to nine stock market indices.

Energy portfolios are overwhelmingly dependent on fossil fuel resources that perpetuate the consequences associated with climate change. Therefore, it is imperative to transition to more renewable alternatives to limit further harm to the environment. This study presents a univariate time series prediction model that evaluates sustainability outcomes of partial energy transitions. Future electricity generation at the state-level is predicted using exponential smoothing and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). The best prediction results are then used as an input for a sustainability assessment of a proposed transition by calculating carbon, water, land, and cost footprints. Missouri, USA was selected as a model testbed due to its dependence on coal. Of the time series methods, ARIMA exhibited the best performance and was used to predict annual electricity generation over a 10-year period. The proposed transition consisted of a one-percent annual decrease of coal’s portfolio share to be replaced with an equal share of solar and wind supply. The sustainability outcomes of the transition demonstrate decreases in carbon and water footprints but increases in land and cost footprints. Decision makers can use the results presented here to better inform strategic provisioning of critical resources in the context of proposed energy transitions.
