Effective carbon pricing policies have become an effective tool for many countries to encourage emission reduction. An accurate carbon price prediction model is helpful for the implementation of energy conservation and emission reduction policies and the decision-making of governments and investors. However, it is difficult for a single prediction model to achieve high prediction accuracy because of the high complexity of the carbon price series. Many studies have proved the nonlinear characteristics of carbon trading prices, but there are very few studies on the chaotic nature of carbon price series. As a consequence, this paper proposes an innovative hybrid model for carbon price prediction. A decomposition-reconstruction-prediction-integration scheme is designed to predict carbon prices. Firstly, several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and one residue were obtained from the raw data decomposed by ICEEMDAN. Next, the decomposed subsection is reconstructed into a new sequence according to the calculation results by the Lempel-Ziv complexity algorithm. Then, considering the chaotic characteristics of sequence, the input variables of the models are determined through the phase space reconstruction (PSR) algorithm combined with the partial autocorrelation function (PACF). Finally, the Sparrow search algorithm (SSA) is introduced to optimize the extreme learning machine (ELM) model, which is applied in the carbon price prediction for the purpose of verifying the validity of the proposed combination model, which is applied to the pilots of Hubei, Beijing, and Guangdong. The empirical results show that the combination model outperformed the 13 other models in predicting accuracy, speed, and stability. The decomposition-reconstruction-prediction-integration strategy is a method for predicting the carbon price efficiently.

Carbon emission reduction is now a global issue, and the prediction of carbon trading market prices is an important means of reducing emissions. This paper innovatively proposes a second decomposition carbon price prediction model based on the nuclear extreme learning machine optimized by the Sparrow search algorithm and considers the structural and nonstructural influencing factors in the model. Firstly, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is used to decompose the carbon price data and variational mode decomposition (VMD) is used to decompose Intrinsic Mode Function 1 (IMF1), and the decomposition of carbon prices is used as part of the input of the prediction model. Then, a maximum correlation minimum redundancy algorithm (mRMR) is used to preprocess the structural and nonstructural factors as another part of the input of the prediction model. After the Sparrow search algorithm (SSA) optimizes the relevant parameters of Extreme Learning Machine with Kernel (KELM), the model is used for prediction. Finally, in the empirical study, this paper selects two typical carbon trading markets in China for analysis. In the Guangdong and Hubei markets, the EMD-VMD-SSA-KELM model is superior to other models. It shows that this model has good robustness and validity.

In response to climate change and environmental issues, many countries have gradually optimized carbon market management and improved the carbon market trading mechanism. Carbon price prediction plays a pivotal role in promoting carbon market management when investors are guided by prediction to conduct rational carbon trading. A novel carbon price prediction methodology is constructed based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition, improved bat algorithm, and extreme learning machine (EEMD-IBA-ELM) in this study. Firstly, the carbon price is decomposed into multiple regular intrinsic mode function (IMF) components by the ensemble empirical mode decomposition, and partial autocorrelation analysis (PACF) is used to find IMF historical data affecting the current value of IMF. Secondly, the improved bat algorithm (IBA) is used to heighten extreme learning machine (ELM) while adaptive parameters are obtained. Finally, EEMD-IBA-ELM was established to predict carbon price. Simultaneously, energy price fluctuation is introduced into the carbon price prediction model. As a consequence, EEMD-IBA-ELM carbon price prediction ability is further improved. In the empirical analysis, the historical carbon price of European Climate Exchange (ECX) and Korea Exchange (KRX) markets are used to examine the effectiveness and stability of the model. Errors of carbon price prediction in ECX and KRX is 2.1982% and 1.1762%, respectively. The results show that the EEMD-IBA-ELM carbon price prediction model can accurately predict carbon price when prediction effect shows strong stability. Furthermore, carbon price prediction accurateness was significantly enhanced by using energy price fluctuation as an influencing factor of carbon price prediction.

Abstract The promotion of carbon market can accelerate the pace of low-carbon transformation of China's economic structure and achieve more efficient carbon emission reduction. Accurate carbon price prediction is conducive to improving the risk management of carbon market and the decision-making of investors, but it also brings great challenges to relevant industry practitioners and the government. In this paper, a new hybrid model is proposed, which combines complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and genetic algorithm (GA) optimized extreme learning machine (ELM). The application of GA-ELM in carbon price prediction is firstly studied in this paper. Eight intrinsic mode functions and one residual can be obtained by CEEMDAN, and then partial autocorrelation (PACF) is used to determine the partial correlation between each sequence and its lag data, and they were taken as internal factors affecting the prediction. At the same time, energy, economic and social factors are selected as the external factors affecting the prediction, and the carbon price prediction is realized through internal and external factors. It has been proved that the model successfully overcomes the challenge of carbon price prediction based on multiple influencing factors. The hybrid model shows superiority in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong. The results show that the prediction performance of the proposed model is the best among the 15 models, and the prediction accuracy will be improved due to the decomposition of the carbon price. Besides, the CEEMDAN-GA-ELM model better overcomes the challenge of carbon price prediction with multiple influencing factors. This model provides a novel and effective tool for the government and enterprises to predict the carbon price.

Abstract For the traditional ensemble learning algorithm of software defect prediction, the base predictor exists the problem that too many parameters are difficult to optimize, resulting in the optimized performance of the model unable to be obtained. An ensemble learning algorithm for software defect prediction that is proposed by using the improved sparrow search algorithm to optimize the extreme learning machine, which divided into three parts. Firstly, the improved sparrow search algorithm (ISSA) is proposed to improve the optimization ability and convergence speed, and the performance of the improved sparrow search algorithm is tested by using eight benchmark test functions. Secondly, ISSA is used to optimize extreme learning machine (ISSA-ELM) to improve the prediction ability. Finally, the optimized ensemble learning algorithm (ISSA-ELM-Bagging) is presented in the Bagging algorithm which improve the prediction performance of ELM in software defect datasets. Experiments are carried out in six groups of software defect datasets. The experimental results show that ISSA-ELM-Bagging ensemble learning algorithm is significantly better than the other four comparison algorithms under the six evaluation indexes of Precision, Recall, F-measure, MCC, Accuracy and G-mean, which has better stability and generalization ability.
