The prediction of solar radiation has a significant role in several fields such as photovoltaic (PV) power production and micro grid management. The interest in solar radiation prediction is increasing nowadays so efficient prediction can greatly improve the performance of these different applications. This paper presents a novel solar radiation prediction approach which combines two models, the Auto Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) and the Nonlinear Auto Regressive with eXogenous input (NARX). This choice has been carried out in order to take the advantages of both models to produce better prediction results. The performance of the proposed hybrid model has been validated using a real database corresponding to a company located in Barcelona north. Simulation results have proven the effectiveness of this hybrid model to predict the weekly solar radiation averages. The ARMA model is suitable for small variations of solar radiation while the NARX model is appropriate for large solar radiation fluctuations.

Solar radiation is characterized by its fluctuation because it depends to different factors such as the day hour, the speed wind, the cloud cover and some other weather conditions. Certainly, this fluctuation can affect the PV power production and then its integration on the electrical micro grid. An accurate forecasting of solar radiation is so important to avoid these problems. In this chapter, the solar radiation is treated as time series and it is predicted using the Auto Regressive and Moving Average (ARMA) model. Based on the solar radiation forecasting results, the photovoltaic (PV) power is then forecasted. The choice of ARMA model has been carried out in order to exploit its own strength. This model is characterized by its flexibility and its ability to extract the useful statistical properties, for time series predictions, it is among the most used models. In this work, ARMA model is used to forecast the solar radiation one year in advance considering the weekly radiation averages. Simulation results have proven the effectiveness of ARMA model to forecast the small solar radiation fluctuations.

Abstract A method for determining the eigenvalues of a synthesized system from the Frequency Response Function (FRF) for noise contaminated subsystems is presented. This method first uses matrix Auto-Regressive Moving-Average (ARMA) model in the Laplace domain to describe each subsystem. Then a modal force method by ARMA model can be established. Only the FRF at the connecting joints is needed in the analysis to form a matrix named Modal Force Matrix. From this matrix, both synthesized system modes and substructure modes can be extracted simultaneously. Since the inverse operation is not required to form Modal Force Matrix, the computation is reduced drastically. The eigensolution of the system in any frequency range can be determined independently. Numerical study suggests that good results can be achieved by this method.

In this paper, an adaptive, frequency domain, steepest descent algorithm for two-dimensional (2-D) system modeling is presented. Based on the equation error model, the algorithm, which characterizes the 2-D spatially linear and invariant unknown system by a 2-D auto-regressive, moving-average (ARMA) process, is derived and implemented in the 3-D spatiotemporal domain. At each iteration, corresponding to a given pair of input and output 2-D signals, the algorithm is formulated to minimize the error-function’s energy in the frequency domain by adjusting the 2-D ARMA model parameters. A signal dependent, optimal convergence factor, referred to as the homogeneous convergence factor, is developed. It is the same for all the coefficients but is updated once per iteration. The resulting algorithm is called the Two-Dimensional, Frequency Domain, with Homogeneous µ*, Adaptive Algorithm (2D-FD-HAA). In addition, the algorithm is implemented using the 2-D Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to enhance the computational efficiency. Computer simulations demonstrate the algorithm’s excellent adaptation accuracy and convergence speed. For illustration, the proposed algorithm is successfully applied to modeling a time varying 2-D system.

Forecasting solar radiation has recently become the focus of numerous researchers due to the growing interest in green energy. This study aims to develop a seasonal auto-regressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model to predict the daily and monthly solar radiation in Seoul, South Korea based on the hourly solar radiation data obtained from the Korean Meteorological Administration over 37 years (1981–2017). The goodness of fit of the model was tested against standardized residuals, the autocorrelation function, and the partial autocorrelation function for residuals. Then, model performance was compared with Monte Carlo simulations by using root mean square errors and coefficient of determination (R2) for evaluation. In addition, forecasting was conducted by using the best models with historical data on average monthly and daily solar radiation. The contributions of this study can be summarized as follows: (i) a time series SARIMA model is implemented to forecast the daily and monthly solar radiation of Seoul, South Korea in consideration of the accuracy, suitability, adequacy, and timeliness of the collected data; (ii) the reliability, accuracy, suitability, and performance of the model are investigated relative to those of established tests, standardized residual, autocorrelation function (ACF), and partial autocorrelation function (PACF), and the results are compared with those forecasted by the Monte Carlo method; and (iii) the trend of monthly solar radiation in Seoul for the coming years is analyzed and compared on the basis of the solar radiation data obtained from KMS over 37 years. The results indicate that (1,1,2) the ARIMA model can be used to represent daily solar radiation, while the seasonal ARIMA (4,1,1) of 12 lags for both auto-regressive and moving average parts can be used to represent monthly solar radiation. According to the findings, the expected average monthly solar radiation ranges from 176 to 377 Wh/m2.

In this paper, we want to examine how unemployment impacts social life, and, by using datasets from six European countries, we analyze the effect of unemployment on two of the main aspects of social life: social exclusion and life satisfaction. First, we predict unemployment rates using the Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model and the results are further used in a linear regression model alongside social exclusion and life satisfaction data, thus obtaining the hybrid model. With the help of the point prediction method, we use the hybrid model to predict new values for the two aspects of social life for the upcoming three years and we analyze the results obtained in order to better understand their interconnection. The results suggest that unemployment has particularly adverse effects on the subjective perception of life satisfaction, furthermore increasing the social exclusion percentage.

Objective: Spatial variability is one of the largest sources of uncertainty in geotechnical applications. This variability is primarily characterized by the scale of fluctuation, a parameter that describes the distance over which the parameters of a material are similar. Spatial variability is generally described with traditional methods of time series analysis. In statistics, the Auto-Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) model is commonly used to describe the relationship between two points in time. Instead of assuming an autocorrelation model, the ARMA model calculates the necessary auto-regressive components (AR), as well as a decaying Mean Structure (MA). The advantage of this method is that it is calculated for each specific field study, so that the data is not forced to fit into a fixed autocorrelation model (e.g. Markovian, Gaussian, etc). Methods: In this study, the ARMA model is introduced as a means of measuring scale of fluctuation, and two case studies and a simulation are used to compare the scale of fluctuation values from the ARMA model to the other estimates. Results: In the first case study, the ARMA model estimated a value of 0.26 m while the other methods ranged from 0.22-0.29 m. In the second case study, the ARMA model estimated a value of 0.40 m while the other methods ranged from 0.40-0.54 m. In the simulated example, where the true value was 5.0 m, the ARMA model estimated a value of 4.73 m while the other methods ranged from 3.24-3.51 m. Conclusion: This paper concludes that ARMA is a promising new method for estimating the scale of fluctuation but requires a considerable amount of research before it can become established in the geotechnical sphere.

Modelling and simulation of the dynamic thermal behaviour of a building is important to test any proposed thermal comfort control system and strategy in the building. A simulation model can be obtained by using either the white box, grey box or black box modelling method. This research focuses on the usage of auto regressive and moving average (ARMA) model, a type of black box model that represents the dynamic thermal behaviour of iHouse testbed and uses real recorded data from the testbed and limited knowledge regarding the physical characteristics of the testbed. The performance of the ARMA model developed in this research is compared with the performance of House Thermal Simulator, a previously developed model, based on grey box modelling. Results obtained shows that ARMA model works better than House Thermal Simulator in some aspects.

The issue of comparing sales records of competitors is gaining increased importance to both marketing academicians and practitioners to get an idea about approximate trend of customer inclination to their products. Actual sales records of competing products for past few years can be compared in two ways. If sales records exhibit normal distribution, then they can be tested for dominance over the other using t test (paired or unpaired). On the other hand, if normality is violated, then non-parametric tests like Kruskal–Wallis test by ranks or one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance) can be applied to test whether samples originate from the same distribution. One-way ANOVA is very flexible in the sense that it can work with two or more independent samples, and sample sizes need not be equal. This article emphasizes the fact that marketing strategies of today must take care of predicted consumer inclination, at least in the near future. Prediction of future sales records of competing products can be obtained using many techniques available in the literature, like linear regression, auto-regressive moving average (ARMA) model etc. All these predictions come up with a certain percentage of error. Therefore, it is wise to fuzzify them by dividing into ranges, before comparison. Here, a novel fuzzy logic–based technique is proposed that compares predicted sales records of competing products and accordingly finds out which one is the best.
