Let's fight
●
Data sets taken from Spanish National Statistics Institute+ Time
Series book by D. Peña + NN3 competition
– Check them out at https://sites.google.com/site/presetemp/datos
– Airline passengers, mortgages, prices...
●
Comparison with other five methods:
– Exponential Smoothing Method.
– Croston
– Theta
– Random Walk
– ARIMA

How do we measure success?
●
Several measures used:
– Mean absolute percentage error : MAPE.
– Mean absolute scaled error: MASE.
– Median absolute percentage error: MdAPE.
●
MASE is probably the most reliable
– Less sensitive to outliers.
– Less variable on small samples.
– More easily interpreted.

Horizon is what lies between the predicted value and the first previous datum used to predict it. A consistent value of horizon was used throughout the experiments.
“ CHC combines conservative selection strategy with disruptive recombination HUX”: http://neo.lcc.uma.es/mallba/easy-mallba/html/algorithms.html#chc CHC is called also Adaptive Search Algorithm EvRBF is an already published evolutionary algorithm Trend is removed and then added to avoid it to dominate the prediction.
75% for training - 25% for testing 30 executions with average published.
