Abstract This paper presents a new method for forecasting a load of individual electricity consumers using smart grid data and clustering. The data from all consumers are used for clustering to create more suitable training sets to forecasting methods. Before clustering, time series are efficiently preprocessed by normalisation and the computation of various model-based time series representation methods. Final centroid-based forecasts are scaled by saved normalisation parameters to create the forecast for every consumer. Our method is compared with the approach that creates forecasts for every consumer separately. Evaluation and experiments were conducted on three smart meter datasets from residences of Ireland and Australia, and factories of Slovakia. The achieved results proved that our clustering-based method improves forecasting accuracy mainly for residential consumers.We can also proclaim that it can be found such time series representation and clustering setting that will our forecasting method perform more accurately than fully disaggregated approach. Our method is also more scalable since it is necessary to train the model only on clusters and not for every consumer separately

Abstract The load of the showcase is a nonlinear and unstable time series data, and the traditional forecasting method is not applicable. Deep learning algorithms are introduced to predict the load of the showcase. Based on the CEEMD–IPSO–LSTM combination algorithm, this paper builds a refrigerated display cabinet load forecasting model. Compared with the forecast results of other models, it finally proves that the CEEMD–IPSO–LSTM model has the highest load forecasting accuracy, and the model’s determination coefficient is 0.9105, which is obviously excellent. Compared with other models, the model constructed in this paper can predict the load of showcases, which can provide a reference for energy saving and consumption reduction of display cabinet.

Stock market is one of the most important investment market, which influenced by many factors, therefore it needs a robust and accurate forecasting. In this study ,grey model used as a forecasting method and examined if it is the most reliable forecasting method in comparison of time series method. The information of portfolio’s rate of return is gathered from 50 accepted companies in Tehran stock market, which were announced as the best companies last year. Mean Square of the errors (MSE) is computed by different value of α in grey model which could be varied between .1 to .9 ,to examined if α=.5 is the best value that our model could take .Then the predictive ability of the model is compared with different type of time series based forecasting methods Experimental results confirm forecasting accuracy of grey model. Tracking signal is computed for grey model to see whether grey model forecasting is in control or not. At the last portfolio’s rate of return is forecasted for next periods.

Over the last century a variety of methods have been used for forecasting financial time data series with different results. This article explains why most of them failed to provide reasonable results based on fractal theory using one day tick data series from the foreign exchange market. Forecasting AMAPE errors and forecasting accuracy ratios were calculated for statistical and machine learning methods for currency time series which were divided into sub-segments according to Hurst ratio. This research proves that the forecasting error decreases and the forecasting accuracy increases for all of the forecasting methods when the Hurt ratio increases. The approach which was used in the article can be successfully applied to time series forecasting by indicating periods with the optimal values of the Hurst exponent.

In this paper, we study the most appropriate short-term forecasting methods for the newly launched biscuit factory produces different types of biscuits. One of them is nut-orange twisted biscuits. As it is a newly launched biscuit factory, it does not use any scientific method to find future demand of their products to produce for the purpose of sales. Having an error free production as well as a good inventory management we try to find an appropriate forecasting method for the sets of data we analyzed for that specific production. Several forecasting methods of time series forecasting such as the Moving Averages, Linear Regression with Time, Exponential Smoothing, Holt‘s Method, Holt-Winter‘s Method etc. can be applied to estimate the demand and supply for these companies. This paper focuses on selecting an appropriate forecasting technique for the newly launched biscuit company. For this, we analyze Exponential Smoothing method as used to time series. We observe from the empirical results of the analysis that if the data has no trend as well as seasonality, Exponential Smoothing Forecasting Method processes as the most appropriate forecasting method for the factory. If the data experiences linear trend in it then Holt’s Forecasting Method processes as the most appropriate forecasting method for the sets of data we analyzed. Dhaka Univ. J.

The Box-Jenkins forecasting method is one of the time series forecasting methods. This method uses past values as dependent variables and independent variables are ignored. Box-Jenkins (ARIMA) method has advantages that can be used on non-stationary data, can be used on all data patterns including seasonal data patterns so this method can be used to predict cases of DHF in East Java Province. This research was conducted to determine the best model with seasonal ARIMA forecasting model and also to analyze the result of DHF case forecasting in East Java Province. The analysis result shows that the best model for DHF case in East Java Province is ARIMA (1,1,2)(2,1,1)12. The best model has fulfilled the test requirement that is parameter significance test and diagnostics check. Forecasting results show the number of DHF cases in 2017-2018 will experience an upward trend. The total number of DHF cases in 2017 was 14,277 cases and increased to 22,284.54 DHF cases in 2018. The forecasting results showed that the highest peak of DHF cases occurred in January 2017 with 1,914.22 cases and then decrease in the next month until the lowest case occurred in October with 768.46. The forecast for 2018 also shows that the highest DHF cases occurred in January with 3455.55 and declined to the lowest in October with 1126.49 cases. MAPE value in the forecast is 43.51%. The MAPE value indicates that the forecasting is good enough, adequate and feasible to use.

<p>The company discussed in this paper is a national distributor firm that distributes FMCG products. The PPIC division in the company is responsible for forecasting the demand using the combination of the moving average method and intuition according to the interest of the company. However, the PPIC staff never measures the accuracy of their forecasting method. This research paper aims to evaluate the forecasting methods used to predict the demands of 12 classes of A SKU. Four-time series forecasting methods are particularly implemented, i.e., ARIMA, moving average (MA), double exponential smoothing (DES), and linear regression (RL). Forecasting using the ARIMA method is carried out by considering the stationarity of the average and variance of the historical data points. Forecasting using DES is carried out by using the optimal alpha and gamma values of the ARIMA method. The results show that the performance of each forecasting method varies, depending on which demands of class A SKU are predicted. Based on these results, the current forecasting method utilized by the company should be improved using the time series forecasting methods leading to the smallest error values for each class of A SKU.</p>
