Forecasting Nonlinear Time Series Using an Adaptive Nonlinear Grey Bernoulli Model: Cases of Energy Consumption
JOURNAL OF GREY SYSTEM(2017)
Abstract
It is appropriate to apply the forecasting model based on grey theory when the relevant data are hard to come by, non-linear and non-normal. An extended version of the NGBM(1,1) is addressed, which simultaneously takes adjustable hyper-parameters such as power exponent, smoothing factor of background value, selection of initial conditions and scaling factor of residual modification into consideration. We then apply the procedures of hyper-parameter optimization and hyper-parameter screening using the genetic algorithm (GA) and the 2(k) factorial design so as to alleviate the problems of manual selection of hyper-parameters and over-fitting, respectively. The resulting model is called an adaptive NGBM(1,1) which does not deviate from the simple ideas of grey theory. In this study, a preliminary comparative analysis is conducted in two benchmark sequences and two real-world sequences for China's energy consumption. The results of this analysis are used to simulate fluctuating and smooth data conditions for evaluation purposes. The experimental results suggest that the high-precision adaptive NGBM(1,1) can potentially improve the effectiveness of decision making.
