Devising a method for constructing the optimal model of time series forecasting based on the principles of competition

This paper reports the analysis of a forecasting problem based on time series. It is noted that the forecasting stage itself is preceded by the stages of selection of forecasting methods, determining the criterion for the forecast quality, and setting the optimal prehistory step. As one of the crite...

Devising a method for constructing the optimal model of time series forecasting based on the principles of competition
description This paper reports the analysis of a forecasting problem based on time series. It is noted that the forecasting stage itself is preceded by the stages of selection of forecasting methods, determining the criterion for the forecast quality, and setting the optimal prehistory step. As one of the criteria for a forecast quality, its volatility has been considered. Improving the volatility of the forecast could ensure a decrease in the absolute value of the deviation of forecast values from actual data. Such a criterion should be used in forecasting in medicine and other socially important sectors. To implement the principle of competition between forecasting methods, it is proposed to categorize them based on the values of deviations in the forecast results from the exact values of the elements of the time series. The concept of dominance among forecasting methods has been introduced; rules for the selection of dominant and accurate enough predictive models have been defined. Applying the devised rules could make it possible, at the preceding stages of the analysis of the time series, to reject in advance the models that would surely fail from the list of predictive models available to use. In accordance with the devised method, after applying those rules, a system of functions is built. The functions differ in the sets of predictive models whose forecasting results are taken into consideration. Variables in the functions are the weight coefficients with which predictive models are included.
