In this paper, a method is proposed to deal with factors affecting the fuzzy time series forecasting. A new fuzzification process is used by considering all the fuzzy sets with nonzero membership values corresponding to the data points. A strong alpha-cut based method is presented to select appropriate fuzzy logical relationships that carry importance in analyzing the trend of time series. Further, a unique defuzzification approach based on weights is proposed to get crisp variation. This obtained variation is finally converted to the forecasted value. The presented method is tested on the benchmark enrolment dataset of Alabama University and seven datasets of the Taiwan Capitalization Weighted Stock Index. On comparing the results, it is observed that the presented method performs better than the existing methods. Also, the statistical measures indicate the good forecasting results of the presented method.

Fuzzy sets theory cannot describe the data comprehensively, which has greatly limited the objectivity of fuzzy time series in uncertain data forecasting. In this regard, an intuitionistic fuzzy time series forecasting model is built. In the new model, a fuzzy clustering algorithm is used to divide the universe of discourse into unequal intervals, and a more objective technique for ascertaining the membership function and nonmembership function of the intuitionistic fuzzy set is proposed. On these bases, forecast rules based on intuitionistic fuzzy approximate reasoning are established. At last, contrast experiments on the enrollments of the University of Alabama and the Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index are carried out. The results show that the new model has a clear advantage of improving the forecast accuracy.

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) are well established as a tool to handle the hesitation in the decision system. In this research paper, fuzzy sets induced by IFS are used to develop a fuzzy time series forecasting model to incorporate degree of hesitation (nondeterminacy). To improve the forecasting accuracy, induced fuzzy sets are used to establish fuzzy logical relations. To verify the performance of the proposed model, it is implemented on one of the benchmarking time series data. Further, developed forecasting method is also tested and validated by applying it on a financial time series data. In order to show the accuracy in forecasting, the method is compared with other forecasting methods using different error measures.

The fuzzy time series (FTS) forecasting models have been being studied intensively over the past few years. Most of the researches focus on improving the effectiveness of the FTS forecasting models using time-invariant fuzzy logical relationship groups proposed by Chen et al. In contrast to Chen’s model, a fuzzy set can be repeated in the right-hand side of the fuzzy logical relationship groups of Yu’s model. N. C. Dieu enhanced Yu’s forecasting model by using the time-variant fuzzy logical relationship groups instead of the time-invariant ones. The forecasting models mentioned above partition the historical data into subintervals and assign the fuzzy sets to them by the human expert’s experience. N. D. Hieu et al. proposed a linguistic time series by utilizing the hedge algebras quantification to converse the numerical time series data to the linguistic time series. Similar to the FTS forecasting model, the obtained linguistic time series can define the linguistic, logical relationships which are used to establish the linguistic, logical relationship groups and form a linguistic forecasting model. In this paper, we propose a linguistic time series forecasting model based on the linguistic forecasting rules induced from the linguistic, logical relationships instead of the linguistic, logical relationship groups proposed by N. D. Hieu. The experimental studies using the historical data of the enrollments of University of Alabama observed from 1971 to 1992 and the daily average temperature data observed from June 1996 to September 1996 in Taipei show the outperformance of the proposed forecasting models over the counterpart ones.

ABSTRAKFuzzy time series (FTS) Lee adalah suatu metode peramalan yang digunakan ketika jumlah data historis yang tersedia sedikit, serta tidak mensyaratkan asumsi-asumsi tertentu yang harus terpenuhi. Metode ini menggunakan data historis berupa himpunan fuzzy yang berasal dari bilangan real atas himpunan semesta pada data aktual. FTS Lee adalah perkembangan dari FTS Song dan Chissom, FTS Cheng, serta FTS Chen. Pada penelitian ini dibahas penerapan FTS Lee pada data Nilai Tukar Petani Subsektor Peternakan (NTPT) di Kalimantan Timur. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memperoleh hasil peramalan NTPT di Kalimantan Timur pada bulan Januari 2020 dengan menggunakan FTS Lee. Langkah awal dalam penelitian ini yaitu menentukan himpunan semesta pembicaraan, langkah kedua menentukan banyaknya himpunan fuzzy, langkah ketiga mendefinisikan derajat keanggotaan himpunan fuzzy terhadap  dan melakukan fuzzyfikasi pada data aktual, langkah keempat membuat fuzzy logical relationship, langkah kelima membuat fuzzy logical relationship group, langkah keenam melakukan defuzzyfikasi sehingga diperoleh hasil peramalan, serta dilanjutkan dengan menghitung nilai mean absolute percentage error. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peramalan menggunakan FTS Lee pada bulan Januari 2020 adalah 110,25. Nilai mean absolute percentage error pada  hasil peramalan dengan menggunakan FTS Lee adalah sangat baik.  ABSTRACTLee’s Fuzzy time series (FTS) is a forecasting method that is used when the number of historical data that available was small and does not require certain assumptions to be fulfilled. This method uses historical data in the form of fuzzy sets derived from real numbers over the set of universes in the actual data. FTS Lee is a development of FTS Song and Chissom, FTS Cheng, and FTS Chen. This research discusses the application of FTS Lee to the Exchange Rate of Farmers Subsectors Farm (ERFSF) in Kalimantan Timur. The purpose of this study was to obtain the results of ERFSF forecasting in Kalimantan Timur in January 2020 using FTS Lee. The first step during research is to determine the set of speech universes, the second step is to determine the number of fuzzy sets, the third step is to define the degree of fuzzy association membership and fuzzification on the actual data, the fourth step is to create a fuzzy logical relationship, the fifth step is to create a fuzzy logical relationship group, the sixth step is to perform defuzzification in order to obtain forecasting results, and continue by calculating the mean absolute percentage error value. The results showed that forecasting using FTS Lee in January 2020 was 110,25. The mean absolute percentage error value in forecasting results using FTS Lee is very good.

Dealing with the time series forecasting problem attracts much attention from the fuzzy community. Many models and methods have been proposed in the literature since the publication of the study by Song and Chissom in 1993, in which they proposed fuzzy time series together with its fuzzy forecasting model for time series data and the fuzzy formalism to handle their uncertainty. Unfortunately, the proposed method to calculate this fuzzy model was very complex. Then, in 1996, Chen proposed an efficient method to reduce the computational complexity of the mentioned formalism. Hwang et al. in 1998 proposed a new fuzzy time series forecasting model, which deals with the variations of historical data instead of these historical data themselves. Though fuzzy sets are concepts inspired by fuzzy linguistic information, there is no formal bridge to connect the fuzzy sets and the inherent quantitative semantics of linguistic words. This study proposes the so-called linguistic time series, in which words with their own semantics are used instead of fuzzy sets. By this, forecasting linguistic logical relationships can be established based on the time series variations and this is clearly useful for human users. The effect of the proposed model is justified by applying the proposed model to forecast student enrollment historical data.
