A novel design method for time series modeling and prediction with fuzzy cognitive maps (FCM) is proposed in this paper. The developed model exploits the least square method to learn the weight matrix of FCM derived from the given historical data of time series. A fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is used to construct the concepts of the FCM. Compared with the traditional FCM, the least square fuzzy cognitive map (LSFCM) is a direct solution procedure without iterative calculations. LSFCM model is a straightforward, robust and rapid learning method, owing to its reliable and efficient. In addition, the structure of the LSFCM can be further optimized with refinements the position of the concepts for the higher prediction precision, in which the evolutionary optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal concepts. Withal, we discussed in detail the number of concepts and the parameters of activation function on the impact of FCM models. The publicly available time series data sets with different statistical characteristics coming from different areas are applied to evaluate the proposed modeling approach. The obtained results clearly show the effectiveness of the approach.

Representing and analyzing the complexity of models constructed by data is a difficult and challenging task, hence the need for new, more effective techniques emerges, despite the numerous methodologies recently proposed in this field. In the present paper, the main idea is to systematically create a nested structure, based on a fuzzy cognitive map (FCM), in which each element/concept at a higher map level is decomposed into another FCM that provides a more detailed and precise representation of complex time series data. This nested structure is then optimized by applying evolutionary learning algorithms. Through the application of a dynamic optimization process, the whole nested structure based on FCMs is restructured in order to derive important relationships between map concepts at every nesting level as well as to determine the weights of these relationships on the basis of the available time series. This process allows discovering and describing hidden relationships among important map concepts. The paper proposes the application of the suggested nested approach for time series forecasting as well as for decision-making tasks regarding appliances’ energy consumption prediction.

Box-Jenkins method of time series in modeling the signal of quartz flex accelerometer is studied in the paper. Firstly, a JSD-I/A quartz flex accelerometer is placed on a level test bench, and the output signal of the JSD-I/A quartz flex accelerometer is acquired. Secondly, the acquired signal of the JSD-I/A quartz flex accelerometer is preprocessed by Db3 wavelet denoising, trend items exacting, and standardized processing. Thirdly, The statistical characteristics of autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) of the processed time series data are analyzed, and the results show that ACF presents tailing characteristic and PACF presents censoring characteristic after 12th order. So AR(12) model is suitable for modeling the processed data of the JSD-I/A quartz flex accelerometer. Fourthly, the AR(12) model’s parameters are estimated by four methods, named least square method (LSM), Yule-Walker method, LUD method and Burg method, respectively. The fitting effects by residuals sum of squares (RSS) of the above estimation methods are compared and the results show that LSM outperforms the other three estimation methods.

We present a critical remark on the pitfalls of calculating the correlation dimension and the largest Lyapunov exponent from time series data when trend and periodicity exist. We consider a special case where a time series Zi can be expressed as the sum of two subsystems so that Zi = Xi + Yi and at least one of the subsystems is deterministic. We show that if the trend and periodicity are not properly removed, correlation dimension and Lyapunov exponent estimations yield misleading results, which can severely compromise the results of diagnostic tests and model identification. We also establish an analytic relationship between the largest Lyapunov exponents of the subsystems and that of the whole system. In addition, the impact of a periodic parameter perturbation on the Lyapunov exponent for the logistic map and the Lorenz system is discussed.

Across the world, healthcare systems are under stress and this has been hugely exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), usually in the form of time-series data, are used to help manage that stress. Making reliable predictions of these indicators, particularly for emergency departments (ED), can facilitate acute unit planning, enhance quality of care and optimise resources. This motivates models that can forecast relevant KPIs and this paper addresses that need by comparing the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) method, a purely statistical model, to Prophet, a decomposable forecasting model based on trend, seasonality and holidays variables, and to the General Regression Neural Network (GRNN), a machine learning model. The dataset analysed is formed of four hourly valued indicators from a UK hospital: Patients in Department; Number of Attendances; Unallocated Patients with a DTA (Decision to Admit); Medically Fit for Discharge. Typically, the data exhibit regular patterns and seasonal trends and can be impacted by external factors such as the weather or major incidents. The COVID pandemic is an extreme instance of the latter and the behaviour of sample data changed dramatically. The capacity to quickly adapt to these changes is crucial and is a factor that shows better results for GRNN in both accuracy and reliability.

We report the results of field and laboratory investigations of stream-aquifer interactions in a watershed along the California coast to assess the impact of groundwater pumping for irrigation on stream flows. The methods used include subsurface sediment sampling using direct-push drilling, laboratory permeability and particle size analyses of sediment, piezometer installation and instrumentation, stream discharge and stage monitoring, pumping tests for aquifer characterization, resistivity surveys, and long-term passive monitoring of stream stage and groundwater levels. Spectral analysis of long-term water level data was used to assess correlation between stream and groundwater level time series data. The investigations revealed the presence of a thin low permeability silt-clay aquitard unit between the main aquifer and the stream. This suggested a three layer conceptual model of the subsurface comprising unconfined and confined aquifers separated by an aquitard layer. This was broadly confirmed by resistivity surveys and pumping tests, the latter of which indicated the occurrence of leakage across the aquitard. The aquitard was determined to be 2–3 orders of magnitude less permeable than the aquifer, which is indicative of weak stream-aquifer connectivity and was confirmed by spectral analysis of stream-aquifer water level time series. The results illustrate the importance of site-specific investigations and suggest that even in systems where the stream is not in direct hydraulic contact with the producing aquifer, long-term stream depletion can occur due to leakage across low permeability units. This has implications for management of stream flows, groundwater abstraction, and water resources management during prolonged periods of drought.

This article represents the first step in filling a large gap in knowledge concerning why Public Assistance (PA) use recently rose so fast in Japan. Specifically, we try to address this problem not only by performing a Blanchard and Quah decomposition on long-term monthly time series data (1960:04-2006:10), but also by estimating prefecturelevel longitudinal data. Two interesting findings emerge from the time series analysis. The first is that permanent shock imposes a continuously positive impact on the PA rate and is the main driving factor behind the recent increase in welfare use. The second finding is that the impact of temporary shock will last for a long time. The rate of the use of welfare is quite rigid because even if the PA rate rises due to temporary shocks, it takes about 8 or 9 years for it to regain its normal level. On the other hand, estimations of prefecture-level longitudinal data indicate that the Financial Capability Index (FCI) of the local government2 and minimum wage both impose negative effects on the PA rate. We also find that the rapid aging of Japan's population presents a permanent shock in practice, which makes it the most prominent contribution to surging welfare use.

This research paper empirically investigates the outcome of Political stability on economic growth (EG) of Pakistan for the period of 1988 to 2018. Political stability (PS), gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), total labor force (TLF) and Inflation (INF) are important explanatory variables. Whereas for model selection GDPr is used as the dependent variable. To check the stationary of time series data Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root (UR) test has been used,  and whereas to find out the long run relationship among variables, OLS method has been used. The analysis the impact of PS on EG (EG) in the short run, VAR model has been used. The outcomes show that all the variables (PS, GFCF, TLF and INF) have a significantly positive effect on the EG of Pakistan in the long run period. But the effect of PS on GDP is smaller. Further, in this research we are trying to see the short run relationship between GDP and other explanatory variables. The outcomes show that PS does not have such effect on GDP in the short run analysis. While GFCF, TLF and INF have significantly positive effect on GDP of Pakistan in the short run period.

Indonesia Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJ-EPA) is a bilateral free-trade agreement between Indonesia and Japan that has been started from July 1st, 2008. After more than a decade of its implementation, there is a question that we need to be addressed: Does liberalization of IJ-EPA make Indonesia’s export to Japan increase? This question is important since the government gives a trade-off by giving lower tariff for certain commodities agreed in agreement to increase export. Using Interrupted time series (ITS) analysis based on time-series data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), this article found that the impact of IJ-EPA decreased for Indonesia export to Japan. Furthermore, this paper proposed some potential commodities that can increase the effectiveness of this FTA. The importance of this topic is that Indonesia will maximize the benefit in implementing of agreement that they made from the third biggest destination export of their total export value, so it will be in line with the government's goal to expand export market to solve current account deficit. In addition, the method that used in this paper can be implemented to other countries so that they can maximize the effect of Free Trade Agreement, especially for their export.
