There are many trade time series parade having seasonality. This paper ponders on taking the appropriate smoothing constants of seasonal time series data using Holt-Winter’s exponential smoothing method in demand forecasting of toy production in a company. It is a quantitative technique in forecasting. This forecasting method is used three constants that assign weights to current demands and previous forecasts to decide on a new forecast. We have demonstrated the techniques how to choose these constants by presenting a real life example and calculated corresponding forecast value of this technique for the optimal smoothing constants.

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.

ED Aluminium is the biggest Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) with 90 number of workers and 1,5 ton ingot capacity for production (Isnaini, 2014). Inventory data in December 2015 indicates that some products are overstocked (9%) and stockout (83%). This condition can happend because that SMEs still using intuition to predict the number of demand. Inventory fluctuation causes the inventory cost increases while overstock happend and lost the opportunity cost during stockout. To avoid overstock and stockout, the determination of demand with exact method is needed and one of them can be solved by forecasting method. This study aims to find the best forecasting methods of demand in 2015 using causal, time series, and combined causal-time series approces that better than the actual condition. The results of this research is the best forecasting method used to predict the number of sales in January-November 2015, that are SARIMA (3,1,1)(0,1,1)12 for WB, SARIMA (1,1,1)(1,0,1)6 for WSD, SARIMA (1,1,1)(1,1,0)6 for DE, SARIMA (2,1,1)(1,1,0)6 for PE, and SARIMA (2,1,3)(0,1,0)12 for PT.

PurposeThis paper applied grey wave forecasting in a decomposition–ensemble forecasting method for modelling the complex and non-linear features in time series data. This application aims to test the advantages of grey wave forecasting method in predicting time series with periodic fluctuations.Design/methodology/approachThe decomposition–ensemble method combines empirical mode decomposition (EMD), component reconstruction technology and grey wave forecasting. More specifically, EMD is used to decompose time series data into different intrinsic mode function (IMF) components in the first step. Permutation entropy and the average of each IMF are checked for component reconstruction. Then the grey wave forecasting model or ARMA is used to predict each IMF according to the characters of each IMF.FindingsIn the empirical analysis, the China container freight index (CCFI) is applied in checking prediction performance. Using two different time periods, the results show that the proposed method performs better than random walk and ARMA in multi-step-ahead prediction.Originality/valueThe decomposition–ensemble method based on EMD and grey wave forecasting model expands the application area of the grey system theory and graphic forecasting method. Grey wave forecasting performs better for data set with periodic fluctuations. Forecasting CCFI assists practitioners in the shipping industry in decision-making.

Purpose Due to the large-size, non-uniform transactions per day, the money laundering detection (MLD) is a time-consuming and difficult process. The major purpose of the proposed auto-regressive (AR) outlier-based MLD (AROMLD) is to reduce the time consumption for handling large-sized non-uniform transactions. Design/methodology/approach The AR-based outlier design produces consistent asymptotic distributed results that enhance the demand-forecasting abilities. Besides, the inter-quartile range (IQR) formulations proposed in this paper support the detailed analysis of time-series data pairs. Findings The prediction of high-dimensionality and the difficulties in the relationship/difference between the data pairs makes the time-series mining as a complex task. The presence of domain invariance in time-series mining initiates the regressive formulation for outlier detection. The deep analysis of time-varying process and the demand of forecasting combine the AR and the IQR formulations for an effective outlier detection. Research limitations/implications The present research focuses on the detection of an outlier in the previous financial transaction, by using the AR model. Prediction of the possibility of an outlier in future transactions remains a major issue. Originality/value The lack of prior segmentation of ML detection suffers from dimensionality. Besides, the absence of boundary to isolate the normal and suspicious transactions induces the limitations. The lack of deep analysis and the time consumption are overwhelmed by using the regression formulation.

Time series data occur in many real life applications, ranging from science and engineering to business. In many of these applications, searching through large time series database based on query sequence is often desirable. Such similarity-based retrieval is also the basic subroutine in several advanced time series data mining tasks such as clustering, classification, finding motifs, detecting anomaly patterns, rule discovery and visualization. Although several different approaches have been developed, most are based on the common premise of dimensionality reduction and spatial access methods. This survey gives an overview of recent research and shows how the methods fit into a general framework of feature extraction.

Non-oil and gas exports are one of the largest foreign exchange earners for Indonesia. Non-oil and gas exports always experience a decline in the month of Eid Al-Fitr due to delays in the delivery of export goods because the loading and unloading of goods at the port is reduced during Eid Al-Fitr. The shift of the Eid Al-Fitr month on the data will form a pattern or season with an unequal period called the moving holiday effect. The time series forecasting method that usually used the ARIMA method. Because the ARIMA method only suitable for time series data with the same seasonal period and can’t handle the moving holiday effect, the X-13-ARIMA-SEATS method used two steps. First, regARIMA modeling is a linear regression between time series data and the weight of Eid Al-Fitr and the residuals follow the ARIMA process. The weighting is based on three conditions, namely pre_holiday, post_holiday, and multiple. Second, X-12-ARIMA decomposition method for seasonal adjustments that produces trend-cycle components, seasonal, and irregular. Based on the analysis carried out on the monthly non-oil and gas export data for the period January 2013 to December 2017, the X-13-ARIMA-SEATS (1,1,0) model was obtained in the post_holiday condition as the best model. The forecasting results in 2018 show the largest decline in non-oil and gas exports in June 2018 which coincided with the Eid Al-Fitr holiday. MAPE value of 10.90% is obtained which shows that the forecasting ability is good.Keywords:  time series, non-oil and gas, X-13-ARIMA-SEATS, moving holiday

Abstract. In this study, we analyze Sentinel-1 time series data to characterize the observed seasonality of different land cover classes in eastern Thuringia, Germany and to identify multi-temporal metrics for their classification. We assess the influence of different polarizations and different pass directions on the multi-temporal backscatter profile. The novelty of this approach is the determination of phenological parameters, based on a tool that has been originally developed for optical imagery. Furthermore, several additional multitemporal metrics are determined for the different classes, in order to investigate their separability for potential multi-temporal classification schemes. The results of the study show a seasonality for vegetation classes, which differs depending on the considered class: whereas pastures and broad-leaved forests show a decrease of the backscatter in VH polarization during summer, an increase of the backscatter in VH polarization is observed for coniferous forest. The observed seasonality is discussed together with meteorological information (precipitation and air temperature). Furthermore, a dependence of the backscatter of the pass direction (ascending/descending) is observed particularly for the urban land cover classes. Multi-temporal metrics indicate a good separability of principal land cover classes such as urban, agricultural and forested areas, but further investigation and use of seasonal parameters is needed for a distinct separation of specific forest sub-classes such as coniferous and deciduous.

Stock is one type of long-term investment in the capital market. The stock movement indicator that is most often used in analysis by investors is the  Indonesia Composite Index (ICI). ICI data is a variety of time series data, so it can be analyzed using forecasting. One forecasting method that can be used is the wavelet thresholding method. The wavelet threshold can analyze stationary, non-stationary, and nonlinear time series data by producing smooth estimates. The wavelet threshold has a wavelet filter and threshold parameters and threshold functions that can be used in analyzing. In this study MSE was assessed from several wavelet filters namely haar, daubechies, and coiflets filters at levels 1 to 7 with the thresholding function namely soft thresholding and thresholding parameters, namely minimax thresholding and sure thresholding. The data used is IHGS data in 2018 totaling 240 data. Based on the data analysis performed, MSE was obtained which means that the best filter provided in order 2 wavelet coiflet filter at level 2 and thresholding parameter is sure of thresholding with MSE value of 0.0094
