The purpose of time series modelling is to predict future indicators based on the study and analysis of past and present data. Various time series methods are used for forecasting. The article uses econometric extrapolation research methods. Analyzed scientific works are related to extrapolation methods for forecasting time series. The dynamics of the financial formation related to results of Ukrainian insurance companies by the types of their activities have been analyzed. The main factors that determine the effectiveness are determined. It was found that the most rational approach to short-term forecasting of the financial results of insurers is the use of exponential smoothing. The optimal parameters are selected for the model of exponential smoothing of the first and second order by the method on the grid. The following indicators of the quality of the model were used: the mean value of the standard deviation of the model error to the actual data, Theils coefficient of discrepancy, mean absolute percentage error MARE. The net financial result of the activities of Ukrainian insurers was predicted, the lower and upper bounds of the forecast for 2021 for a reliability level of 0.95. To predict the net financial result of the activities of Ukrainian insurers, statistical data for 10 years from 2011 to 2020 were used, the financial results of the main (insurance and other operating) activities before tax, the results of financial activities before tax, the financial results of other ordinary activities (extraordinary events) before tax, income tax. The prototype of the software module for predicting the financial performance of insurance companies was developed in Statistica and Excel. Forecasting results based on the use of econometric modelling make it possible to identify permanent positive shifts in the domestic insurance market and the activities of insurers on it; to confirm the effectiveness of the adopted strategic and tactical financial decisions of insurance companies; to increase the efficiency of insurers management based on the results of quantitative determination the degree of influence of each factor on the formation of the financial results related to their activities; to identify trends in the development of the situation in the future, to more accurately form a set of measures to maximize profits and minimize costs of insurance companies to ensure guarantees of reliable insurance protection and satisfy the interests of their owners. Keywords: financial results; insurance companies; net financial result; exponential smoothing; time series; econometric forecasting methods.

Wind and wave climatic simulations are of great interest in a number of different applications, including the design and operation of ships and offshore structures, marine energy generation, aquaculture and coastal installations. In a climate change perspective, projections of such simulations to a future climate are of great importance for risk management and adaptation purposes. This work investigates the applicability of FIS/ANFIS models for climatic simulations of wind and wave data. The models are coupled with a nonstationary time series modelling, which decomposes the initial time series into a seasonal mean value and a residual part multiplied by a seasonal standard deviation. In this way, the nonstationary character is first removed before starting the fuzzy forecasting procedure. Then, the FIS/ANFIS models are applied to the stationary residual part providing us with more unbiased climatic estimates. Two long-term datasets for an area in the North Atlantic Ocean are used in the present study, namely NORA10 (57 years) and ExWaCli (30 years in the present and 30 years in the future). Two distinct experiments have been performed to simulate future values of the time series in a climatic scale. The assessment of the simulations by means of the actual values kept for comparison purposes gives very good results.

European Union Allowances (EUAs) are rights to emit CO2 that may be sold or bought by enterprises. They were originally created to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, although they have become assets that may be used by financial intermediaries to seek for new business opportunities. Therefore, forecasting the time evolution of their price is very important for agents involved in their selling or buying. Neural Networks, an artificial intelligence paradigm, have been proved to be accurate and reliable tools for time series forecasting, and have been widely used to predict economic and energetic variables; two of them are used in this work, the Multilayer Preceptron (MLP) and the Long Short-Term Memories (LSTM), along with another artificial intelligence algorithm (XGBoost). They are combined with two preprocessing tools, decomposition of the time series into its trend and fluctuation and decomposition into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) by the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). The price prediction is obtained by adding those from each subseries. These two tools are combined with the three forecasting tools to provide 20 future predictions of EUA prices. The best results are provided by MLP-EMD, which is able to achieve a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 2.91% for the first predicted datum and 5.65% for the twentieth, with a mean value of 4.44%.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based remote sensing is gaining momentum worldwide in a variety of agricultural and environmental monitoring and modelling applications. At the same time, the increasing availability of yield monitoring devices in harvesters enables input-target mapping of in-season RGB and crop yield data in a resolution otherwise unattainable by openly availabe satellite sensor systems. Using time series UAV RGB and weather data collected from nine crop fields in Pori, Finland, we evaluated the feasibility of spatio-temporal deep learning architectures in crop yield time series modelling and prediction with RGB time series data. Using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks as spatial and temporal base architectures, we developed and trained CNN-LSTM, convolutional LSTM and 3D-CNN architectures with full 15 week image frame sequences from the whole growing season of 2018. The best performing architecture, the 3D-CNN, was then evaluated with several shorter frame sequence configurations from the beginning of the season. With 3D-CNN, we were able to achieve 218.9 kg/ha mean absolute error (MAE) and 5.51% mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) performance with full length sequences. The best shorter length sequence performance with the same model was 292.8 kg/ha MAE and 7.17% MAPE with four weekly frames from the beginning of the season.

Demand forecasts are extremely important for manufacturing industry and also needed for all type of business and business suppliers for distribution of finish products to the consumer on time. This study is concerned with the determination of accurate models for forecasting cement demand. In this connection this paper presents results obtained by using a self-organizing model and compares them with those obtained by usual statistical techniques. For this purpose, Monthly sales data of a typical cement ranging from January, 2007 to February, 2016 were collected. A nonlinear modelling technique based on Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) is considered here to derive forecasts. Forecast were also made by using various time series smoothing techniques such as exponential smoothing, double exponential smoothing, moving average, weightage moving average and regression method. The actual data were compared to the forecast generated by the time series model and GMDH model. The mean absolute deviation (MAD, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and mean square error (MSE) were also calculated for comparing the forecasting accuracy. The comparison of modelling results shows that the GMDH model perform better than other statistical models based on terms of mean absolute deviation (MAD), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and mean square error (MSE).

Malaysia is surrounded by sea, rivers and lakes which provide natural sources of fish for human consumption. Hence, fish is one source of protein supply to the country and fishery is a sub-sector that contribute to the national gross domestic product. Since fish forecasting is crucial in fisheries management for managers and scientists, time series modelling can be one useful tool. Time series modelling have been used in many fields of studies including the fields of fisheries. In a previous research, the ARIMA and ARFIMA models were used to model marine fish production in Malaysia and the ARFIMA model emerged to be a better forecast model. In this study, we consider fitting the ARIMA and ARFIMA to both the marine and freshwater fish production in Malaysia. The process of model fitting was done using the “ITSM 2000, version 7.0” software. The performance of the models were evaluated using the mean absolute error, root mean square error and mean absolute percentage error. It was found in this study that the selection of the best fit model depends on the forecast accuracy measures used.

The scope for ARIMAX approach to forecast short term load has gained a lot of significant importance.In this paper, ARIMAXmodel which is an extension of ARIMA model with exogenous variables is used for STLF on a time series data of Karnataka State Demand pattern. The forecasting accuracy of ARIMA model is enhanced by taking into consideration hour of the day and day of the week as exogenous variables for ARIMAX model. Forecasting performance is thus improved by considering these significant load dependent factors. The forecasted results indicate that the proposed model is more accurate according to mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) obtained during the testing period of the model. As the historical load data are available on the databases of the utility, researches in the areas of time series modelling are ongoing for electrical load forecasting. In the proposed paper real time demand data available on Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Ltd. (KPTCL) website is taken to develop and test the proposedload forecasting model.The power utility system operational costs and its securitydepend on the load forecasting for next few hours.
