Analyzing the future behaviors of currency pairs represents a priority for governments, financial institutions, and investors, who use this type of analysis to understand the economic situation of a country and determine when to sell and buy goods or services from a particular location. Several models are used to forecast this type of time series with reasonable accuracy. However, due to the random behavior of these time series, achieving good forecasting performance represents a significant challenge. In this paper, we compare forecasting models to evaluate their accuracy in the short term using data on the EUR/USD exchange rate. For this purpose, we used three methods: Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) of the Elman type, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The analyzed period spanned from 2 January 1998, to 31 December 2019, and was divided into training and validation datasets. We performed forecasting calculations to predict windows with six different forecasting horizons. We found that the window of one month with 22 observations better matched the validation dataset in the short term compared to the other windows. Theil’s U coefficients calculated for this window were 0.04743, 0.002625, and 0.001808 for the ARIMA, Elman, and LSTM networks, respectively. LSTM provided the best forecast in the short term, while Elman provided the best forecast in the long term.

Purpose Better forecasting always leads to better management and planning of the operations. The container throughput data are complex and often have multiple seasonality. This makes it difficult to forecast accurately. The purpose of this paper is to forecast container throughput using deep learning methods and benchmark its performance over other traditional time-series methods. Design/methodology/approach In this study, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are implemented to forecast container throughput. The container throughput data of the Port of Singapore are used for empirical analysis. The forecasting performance of the LSTM model is compared with seven different time-series forecasting methods, namely, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), simple exponential smoothing, Holt–Winter’s, error-trend-seasonality, trigonometric regressors (TBATS), neural network (NN) and ARIMA + NN. The relative error matrix is used to analyze the performance of the different models with respect to bias, accuracy and uncertainty. Findings The results showed that LSTM outperformed all other benchmark methods. From a statistical perspective, the Diebold–Mariano test is also conducted to further substantiate better forecasting performance of LSTM over other counterpart methods. Originality/value The proposed study is a contribution to the literature on the container throughput forecasting and adds value to the supply chain theory of forecasting. Second, this study explained the architecture of the deep-learning-based LSTM method and discussed in detail the steps to implement it.

Forecasting time-series data are imperative especially when planning is required through modelling using uncertain knowledge of future events. Recurrent neural network models have been applied in the industry and outperform standard artificial neural networks in forecasting, but fail in long term time-series forecasting due to the vanishing gradient problem. This study offers a robust solution that can be implemented for long-term forecasting using a special architecture of recurrent neural network known as Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model to overcome the vanishing gradient problem. LSTM is specially designed to avoid the long-term dependency problem as their default behavior. Empirical analysis is performed using quantitative forecasting metrics and comparative model performance on the forecasted outputs. An evaluation analysis is performed to validate that the LSTM model provides better forecasted outputs on Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) in terms of error metrics as compared to other forecasting models.

Data science highlights fields of study and research such as time series, which, although widely explored in the past, gain new perspectives in the context of this discipline. This chapter presents two approaches to time series forecasting, long short-term memory (LSTM), a special kind of recurrent neural network (RNN), and Prophet, an open-source library developed by Facebook for time series forecasting. With a focus on developing forecasting processes by data mining or machine learning experts, LSTM uses gating mechanisms to deal with long-term dependencies, reducing the short-term memory effect inherent to the traditional RNN. On the other hand, Prophet encapsulates statistical and computational complexity to allow broad use of time series forecasting, prioritizing the expert's business knowledge through exploration and experimentation. Both approaches were applied to a retail time series. This case study comprises daily and half-hourly forecasts, and the performance of both methods was measured using the standard metrics.

The diagonal effect of orders is well documented in different markets, which states that the orders are more likely to be followed by the orders of the same aggressiveness and implies the presence of short-term correlations in order flows. Based on the order flow data of 43 Chinese stocks, we investigate if there are long-range correlations in the time series of order aggressiveness. The detrending moving average analysis shows that there are crossovers in the scaling behaviors of overall fluctuations and order aggressiveness exhibits linear long-term correlations. We design an objective procedure to determine the two Hurst indexes delimited by the crossover scale. We find no correlations in the short term and strong correlations in the long term for all stocks except for an outlier stock. The long-term correlation is found to depend on several firm specific characteristics. We also find that there are nonlinear long-term correlations in the order aggressiveness when we perform the multifractal detrending moving average analysis.

Abstract Short term streamflow forecasting is important for operational control and risk management in hydrology. Despite a wide range of models available, the impact of long range dependence is often neglected when considering short term forecasting. In this paper, the forecasting performance of a new model combining a long range dependent autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) model with a wavelet transform used as a method of deseasonalization is examined. It is analysed, whether applying wavelets in order to model the seasonal component in a hydrological time series, is an alternative to moving average deseasonalization in combination with an ARFIMA model. The one-to-ten-steps-ahead forecasting performance of this model is compared with two other models, an ARFIMA model with moving average deseasonalization, and a multiresolution wavelet based model. All models are applied to a time series of mean daily discharge exhibiting long range dependence. For one and two day forecasting horizons, the combined wavelet - ARFIMA approach shows a similar performance as the other models tested. However, for longer forecasting horizons, the wavelet deseasonalization - ARFIMA combination outperforms the other two models. The results show that the wavelets provide an attractive alternative to the moving average deseasonalization.

Abstract. Regularized time series of ocean carbon data are necessary for assessing seasonal dynamics, annual budgets, interannual variability and long-term trends. There are, however, no standardized methods for imputing gaps in ocean carbon time series, and only limited evaluation of the numerous methods available for constructing uninterrupted time series. A comparative assessment of eight imputation models was performed using data from seven long-term monitoring sites. Multivariate linear regression (MLR), mean imputation, linear interpolation, spline interpolation, Stineman interpolation, Kalman filtering, weighted moving average and multiple imputation by chained equation (MICE) models were compared using cross-validation to determine error and bias. A bootstrapping approach was employed to determine model sensitivity to varied degrees of data gaps and secondary time series with artificial gaps were used to evaluate impacts on seasonality and annual summations and to estimate uncertainty. All models were fit to DIC time series, with MLR and MICE models also applied to field measurements of temperature, salinity and remotely sensed chlorophyll, with model coefficients fit for monthly mean conditions. MLR estimated DIC with a mean error of 8.8 umol kg−1 among 5 oceanic sites and 20.0 ummol kg−1 among 2 coastal sites. The empirical methods of MLR, MICE and mean imputation retained observed seasonal cycles over greater amounts and durations of gaps resulting in lower error in annual budgets, outperforming the other statistical methods. MLR had lower bias and sampling sensitivity than MICE and mean imputation and provided the most robust option for imputing time series with gaps of various duration.

Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) is stationary time series model after differentiation. Differentiation value of ARIMA method is an integer so it is only able to model in the short term. The best model using ARIMA method is ARIMA([13]; 1; 0) with an MSE value of 1,870844. The Intervention method is a model for time series data which in practice has extreme fluctuations both up and down. In the data plot the number of train passengers was found to be extreme fluctuation. The data used was from January 2009 to June 2017 where fluctuation up significantly in January 2016 (T=85 to T=102) so the intervention model that was suspected was a step function. The best model uses the Intervention step function is ARIMA ([13]; 1; 1) (b=0; s=18; r=0) with MSE of 1124. Autoregressive Fractionally Integrated Moving Average (ARFIMA) method is a development of the ARIMA method. The advantage of the ARFIMA method is the non-integer differentiation value so that it can overcome long memory effect that can not be solve with the ARIMA method. ARFIMA model is capable of modeling high changes in the long term (long term persistence) and explain long-term and short-term correlation structures at the same time. The number of local economy class train passengers in DAOP IV Semarang contains long memory effects, so the ARFIMA method is used to obtain the best model. The best model obtained is the ARMA(0; [1,13]) model with the differential value is 0,367546, then the model can be written into ARFIMA (0; d; [1,13]) with an MSE value of 0,00964. Based on the analysis of the three methods, the best method of analyzing the number of local economy class train passengers in DAOP IV Semarang is the ARFIMA method with the model is ARFIMA (0; 0,367546; [1,13]). Keywords: Train Passengers, ARIMA, Intervention, ARFIMA, Forecasting
