This paper describes the Weekly Load Forecasting Expert System(Named WLoFy) which was developed and implemented for Korea Electric Power Corporation(KEPCO). WLoFy was designed to provide user oriented features with a graphical user interface to improve the user interaction. The various forecasting models such as exponential smoothing, multiple regression, artificial nerual networks, rult-based model, and relative coefficient model also have been included in WLofy to increase the forecasting accuracy. The simulation based on historical data shows that the weekly forecasting results form WLoFy is an improvement when compared to the results from the conventional methods. Especially the forecasting accuracy on special days has been improved remakably.

Intermittent demand is a demand with a pattern in which zero demands occur frequently and non-zero demands occur sporadically. This type of demand mainly appears in spare parts with very low demand. Croston's method, which is an initiative intermittent demand forecasting method, estimates the average demand by separately estimating the size of non-zero demands and the interval between non-zero demands. Such smoothing type of forecasting methods can be suitable for mid-term or long-term demand forecasting because those provides the same demand forecasts during the forecasting horizon. However, the smoothing type of forecasting methods aims at short-term forecasting, so the estimated average forecast is a factor to decrease accuracy. In this paper, we propose a forecasting method to improve short-term accuracy by improving Croston's method for intermittent demand forecasting. The proposed forecasting method estimates both the non-zero demand size and the zero demands' interval separately, as in Croston's method, but the forecast at a future period adjusted by binomial weight according to occurrence probability. This serves to improve the accuracy of short-term forecasts. In this paper, we first prove the unbiasedness of the proposed method as an important attribute in forecasting. The performance of the proposed method is compared with those of five existing forecasting methods via eight evaluation criteria. The simulation results show that the proposed forecasting method is superior to other methods in terms of all evaluation criteria in short-term forecasting regardless of average size and dispersion parameter of demands. However, the larger the average demand size and dispersion are, that is, the closer to continuous demand, the less the performance gap with other forecasting methods.

Classical SPC charting methods such as (equation omitted), R, S charts assume high volume manufacturing processes where at least 25 or 30 calibrate samples of size 4 or 5 each can be gathered to estimate the process parameters before on-line charting actually begines. However, for many processes, especially in a job-shop setting, production runs are not necessarily long and charting technique are required that do not that depend upon knowing the process parameters in advance of the run. In this paper, using modifying statistics, we give a method for constructing control charts for the process mean when the measurements are from a normal distribution. In this case, consider that smaller weight being assigned to the older data as time process and properties and taking method of exponential smoothing constant$(\lambda)$ are suggested.

본 연구는 버스정보가 도로의 통행속도 정보로 활용될 수 있는지를 검토하기 위한 연구이다. 도로통행속도를 파악하기 위해 설치된 지점검지기, 구간검지기로부터 수집되는 정보와 경기도에서 수집되는 버스정보를 속도정보로 가공하여 비교하였다. 버스정보가 교통정보 검지기의 기능을 할 수 있다면, 통행속도 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 도로구간의 교통류에 대한 패턴을 인식할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 접근방법보다는 기존에 검증된 방법을 중심으로 버스정보를 이용한 교통류 패턴 인식 방법을 적용하여 버스정보의 활용 가능성을 제시하였다. 또한 버스정보를 이용하여 모형을 추정하였는데, 단순이동, 지수평활법과 이중이동, 이중지수평활법, ARIMA(p,d,q)모형을 적용하였다. 이 모형들은 평가지표인 100-MAPE, MAE, EC로 비교한 결과 상호 비슷한 결과를 나타냈으나, 단순평균이동법이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타냈다. 이로서 버스정보를 구간의 통행속도로 이용할 경우, 모형의 추정도 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

하나의 시계열 자료에서 다양한 특징을 발견하는 일은 간단한 문제가 아니다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 시계열 자료에서 복수의 패턴을 찾아내어 예측 정확도를 높이는 방식인 다중 결합 예측 알고리즘을 소개한다. 이 알고리즘은 시간적 결합과 예측값 조합의 개념을 사용한다. 시간적 결합 방식을 통해, 하나의 시계열 자료에서 여러 개의 시계열 자료를 생성할 수 있으며, 각각의 자료는 별도의 특성을 가지게 된다. 여러 개의 시계열 자료에서 다양한 특성을 추출하기 위하여 지수평활법을 사용하고 시계열 요소들 및 이들의 예측값을 계산한다. 마지막 단계에서 시계열 요소 별로 예측값을 혼합 한 후, 각 시계열 요소들의 조합값을 더하여 최종 예측값을 만든다. 실증 분석으로 국내 교통사고 발생 건수를 예측한다. 분석 결과, 기존의 다른 예측 방식보다 예측 성능이 우수함을 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 시계열 예측 분야에서 잘 알려져 있는 단변량 시계열 모형들을 이용하여, 그들의 단순 조합이 어떤 예측력을 보여주는지 연구한다. 고려된 단변량 시계열 모형으로는, 지수평활 및 ARIMA(autoregressive integrated moving average) 모형들과 그들의 확장된 형태인 모형들 그리고 예측의 벤치마크 모형으로 자주 사용되는 비계절 및 계절 랜덤워크 모형이다. 단순 조합의 방법은 중앙값과 평균을 이용하였으며, 검증을 위하여 사용된 데이터셋은 3,003개의 시계열 자료로 구성된 M3-competition 자료이다. 예측 성능을 sMAPE(symmetric mean absolute percentage error)와 MASE(mean absolute scaled error)로 평가한 결과, 단변량 시계열 모형들의 단순 조합이 아주 우수한 예측력을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

Railway passenger demand forecasts may be used directly, or as inputs to other optimization models use them to produce estimates of other activities. The optimization models require demand forecasts at the most detailed level. In this environment exponential smoothing forecasting methods such as Holt-Winters are appropriate because it is simple and inexpensive in terms of computation. There are several initialization methods for Holt-Winters Model. The purpose of this paper is to compare the initialization methods for Holt-Winters model.

The purpose of this paper is to compare several forecasting methods for the case of the cement product by the analysis of the forecasting data and by the study of major forecasting methods, which are the Trend Projection, Exponential Smoothing, and Multiple Regression Analysis. As a result, it is thought that the Multiple Regression Analysis is the optimal model for the case of the cement product. In addition, it is important to consider the future circumstances for forecasting, and to improve the level of the forecasting results through the precise analysis of the collected data.

This paper presents an empirical and comprehensive forecasting analysis of the uranium price. Prices are generally difficult to forecast, and the uranium price is not an exception because it is affected by many external factors, apart from imbalances between demand and supply. Therefore, a systematic analysis of multiple forecasting methods and combinations of them along repeated forecast origins is a way of discerning which method is most suitable. Results suggest that i) some sophisticated methods do not improve upon the Naïve's (horizontal) forecast and ii) Unobserved Components methods are the most powerful, although the gain in accuracy is not big. These two facts together imply that uranium prices are undoubtedly subject to many uncertainties.

In this research, we propose efficient demand forecasting scheme for intermittent demand. For this purpose, we first extensively analyze the drawbacks of the existing forecasting methods such as Croston method and Syntetos-Boylan approximation, then using these findings we propose the new demand forecasting method. Our goal is to develop forecasting method robust across many situations, not necessarily optimal for a limited number of specific situations. For this end, we adopt combining forecasting method that utilizes unbiased forecasting methods such as simple exponential smoothing and simple moving average. Various simulation results show that the proposed forecasting method performed better than the existing forecasting methods.
