Rough set theory was proposed by Z. Pawlak in 1982. This theory can mine knowledge based on a decision rule from a database, a web base, a set, and so on. The decision rule is used for data analysis as well as calculating an unknown object. We analyzed time-series data using rough sets. Economic time-series data was predicted using decision rules. However, there are cases where an excessive number of decision rules exist, from which, it is difficult to acquire knowledge. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the number of decision rules by merging them. Similar to how it is difficult to acquire knowledge from multiple rules, it is also difficult to acquire knowledge from rules with a large number of condition attributes. We propose a method to reduce the number of condition attributes and thereby reduce the number of rules. We analyze time-series data using this proposed method and acquire knowledge for prediction using decision rules. We use TOPIX and the yen–dollar exchange rate as knowledge-acquisition data. We propose a method to facilitate knowledge acquisition by merging rules.

Rough set theory was proposed by Z. Pawlak in 1982. This theory enables the mining of knowledge granules as decision rules from a database, the web, and other sources. This decision rule set can then be used for data analysis. We can apply the decision rule set to reason, estimate, evaluate, or forecast an unknown object. In this paper, rough set theory is used for the analysis of time-series data. We propose a method to acquire rules from time-series data using regression. The trend of the regression line can be used as a condition attribute. We predict the future slope of the time-series data as decision attributes. We also use merging rules to further analyze the time series data.

Rough sets theory was proposed by Z. Pawlak in 1982. This theory enables us to mine knowledge granules through a decision rule from a database, a web base, a set and so on. We can apply the decision rule to reason, estimate, evaluate, or forecast unknown objects. In this paper, the rough set model is used to analyze of time series data of tick-wise price fluctuation, where knowledge granules are mined from the data set of tick-wise price fluctuations.

Abstract Accurate and reliable air passenger demand is very important for policy-making and planning by tourism management as well as by airline authorities. Therefore, this article proposed a novel hybrid method based on rough set theory (RST) to construct decision rules for long-term forecasting of air passengers. Level (mean) and trend components are first estimated from the air passengers time series data using DES model in the formulation of the proposed hybrid method. Then the rough set theory is employed to combine the output of DES model and generated decision rules is used to forecasting air passengers. We compare the proposed approach with other time series models using a corrected classified accuracy (CCA) criterion. For the empirical analysis, yearly air transport passenger from 1992 to 2004 is used. Empirical results show that the proposed method is highly accurate with the higher corrected classified accuracy. Also, forecasting accuracy of the proposed method is better than the other time series approaches.

In this paper, an integrated data characteristic testing scheme is proposed for complex time series data exploration so as to select the most appropriate research methodology for complex time series modeling. Based on relationships across different data characteristics, data characteristics of time series data are divided into two main categories: nature characteristics and pattern characteristics in this paper. Accordingly, two relevant tasks, nature determination and pattern measurement, are involved in the proposed testing scheme. In nature determination, dynamics system generating the time series data is analyzed via nonstationarity, nonlinearity and complexity tests. In pattern measurement, the characteristics of cyclicity (and seasonality), mutability (or saltation) and randomicity (or noise pattern) are measured in terms of pattern importance. For illustration purpose, four main Chinese economic time series data are used as testing targets, and the data characteristics hidden in these time series data are thoroughly explored by using the proposed integrated testing scheme. Empirical results reveal that the natures of all sample data demonstrate complexity in the phase of nature determination, and in the meantime the main pattern of each time series is captured based on the pattern importance, indicating that the proposed scheme can be used as an effective data characteristic testing tool for complex time series data exploration from a comprehensive perspective.

Commodity price always related to the movement of stock market index. However real economic time series data always exhibit nonlinear properties such as structural change, jumps or break in the series through time. Therefore, linear time series models are no longer suitable and Markov Switching Vector Autoregressive models which able to study the asymmetry and regime switching behavior of the data are used in the study. Intercept adjusted Markov Switching Vector Autoregressive (MSI-VAR) model is discuss and applied in the study to capture the smooth transition of the stock index changes from recession state to growth state. Results found that the dramatically changes from one state to another state are continuous smooth transition in both regimes. In addition, the 1-step prediction probability for the two regime Markov Switching model which act as the filtered probability to the actual probability of the variables is converged to the actual probability when undergo an intercept adjusted after a shift. This prove that MSI-VAR model is suitable to use in examine the changes of the economic model and able to provide significance, valid and reliable results. While oil price and gold price also proved that as a factor in affecting the stock exchange.
