Time Series Forecasting Models: A Comprehensive Review
This comprehensive review provides an extensive overview of the existing Time Series Forecasting technique. This survey is not restricted to any single time series analysis; it provides forecasting of time series in different areas like marketing prediction, weather forecasting, technology prediction, financial forecasting etc. In this paper, we have analyzed forecasting in some areas namely, load forecasting, wind speed forecasting, prediction of energy consumption and short-term traffic flow prediction. Various models are available for prediction among them Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model (ARIMA) is seen as a universal mechanism, these discussed forecasting areas utilizes different models that are combined with ARIMA. Hybrid models are the combination of classical models and modern methods, like ARIMA (classical method) combines with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as well as with Support Vector Machine (SVM) (modern models). Hybrid model’s performance is depending on the variety of data that are taken for forecasting.
