Mathematical methods and models used in forecasting problems may relate to a wide variety of topics: from the regression analysis, time series analysis, formulation and evaluation of expert opinions, simulation, systems of simultaneous equations, discriminant analysis, logit and probit models, logical unit decision functions, variance or covariance analysis, rank correlation and contingency tables, etc. In the analysis of the phenomenon over a long timeperiod, for example, the incidence of long-term dynamics with a forecast of further development of the process, you should use the time series, which is influenced by the following factors: • Emerging trends of the series (the trend in cumulative long-term effects of many factors on the dynamics of the phenomenon under study - ascending or descending); • forming a series of cyclical fluctuations related to the seasonality of the disease; • random factors. In our study, we conducted a study to identify cyclical time series of long-term dynamics of morbidity of HFRS and autumn bank vole population. This study was performed using the autocorrelation coefficient. As a result of time-series studies of incidence of HFRS, indicators autumn bank vole population revealed no recurrence, and these figures are random variables, which is confirmed by three tests: nonrepeatability of time series, the assessment increase and decrease time-series analysis of the sum of squares. This shows that a number of indicators of the time series are random variables, contains a strong non-linear trend, to identify which need further analysis, for example by means of regression analysis.

AbstractMuch research has shown that the first lockdowns imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were associated with changes in routine activities and, therefore, changes in crime. While several types of violent and property crime decreased immediately after the first lockdown, online crime rates increased. Nevertheless, little research has explored the relationship between multiple lockdowns and crime in the mid-term. Furthermore, few studies have analysed potentially contrasting trends in offline and online crimes using the same dataset. To fill these gaps in research, the present article employs interrupted time-series analysis to examine the effects on offline and online crime of the three lockdown orders implemented in Northern Ireland. We analyse crime data recorded by the police between April 2015 and May 2021. Results show that many types of traditional offline crime decreased after the lockdowns but that they subsequently bounced back to pre-pandemic levels. In contrast, results appear to indicate that cyber-enabled fraud and cyber-dependent crime rose alongside lockdown-induced changes in online habits and remained higher than before COVID-19. It is likely that the pandemic accelerated the long-term upward trend in online crime. We also find that lockdowns with stay-at-home orders had a clearer impact on crime than those without. Our results contribute to understanding how responses to pandemics can influence crime trends in the mid-term as well as helping identify the potential long-term effects of the pandemic on crime, which can strengthen the evidence base for policy and practice.

Network dimensioning is a critical task in current mobile networks, as any failure in this process leads to degraded user experience or unnecessary upgrades of network resources. For this purpose, radio planning tools often predict monthly busy-hour data traffic to detect capacity bottlenecks in advance. Supervised Learning (SL) arises as a promising solution to improve predictions obtained with legacy approaches. Previous works have shown that deep learning outperforms classical time series analysis when predicting data traffic in cellular networks in the short term (seconds/minutes) and medium term (hours/days) from long historical data series. However, long-term forecasting (several months horizon) performed in radio planning tools relies on short and noisy time series, thus requiring a separate analysis. In this work, we present the first study comparing SL and time series analysis approaches to predict monthly busy-hour data traffic on a cell basis in a live LTE network. To this end, an extensive dataset is collected, comprising data traffic per cell for a whole country during 30 months. The considered methods include Random Forest, different Neural Networks, Support Vector Regression, Seasonal Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average and Additive Holt–Winters. Results show that SL models outperform time series approaches, while reducing data storage capacity requirements. More importantly, unlike in short-term and medium-term traffic forecasting, non-deep SL approaches are competitive with deep learning while being more computationally efficient.
