BACKGROUND Generally, forecasting data for products and/or service are paramount concerns for many organizations. Forecasting predicts future demand for a product and/or service based on historical and judgmental data in various ways.

The following description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense. Figure 1 illustrates an architecture diagram of an exemplary system for dynamically generating a data model for forecasting data related to an event in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure; As shown in Figure 1, the exemplary system 100 comprises one or more components configured to dynamically generate the data model for forecasting data related to an event. In one embodiment, the exemplary system 100 comprises a data modelling system 102, a plurality of sensors 104-1, 104-2,…104-N (collectively referred to as sensors 104) and a historic data (HD) database 106 connected via a communication network 108. The data modelling system 102 dynamically generates the data model based on data captured by sensors 104 and stored in the HD database 106. In one embodiment, the sensors 104 and the HD database 106 may be integrated within the data modelling system 102. In another embodiment, the sensors 104 and the HD database 106 may be implemented independent of the data modelling system 102. The sensors 104 may be for example, the data sensors configured to receive data related to an event. The data may include data associated with a plurality of variables associated with the past historic events. The data may be stored in the HD database and hereinafter referred to as plurality of historic data. The plurality of historic data is processed by the data modelling system 102 to generate the data model dynamically in real time. In one embodiment, the data modelling system 102 comprises a central processing unit (“CPU” or “processor”) 110, a memory 112, a statistical summary value analyzer (SSVA) 114, a dataset classifier 116 and a data model generator 118. The data modelling system 102 may be a typical data modelling system as illustrated in Figure 2. The data modelling system 102 comprises the processor 110, the memory 112 and an I/O interface 202. The I/O interface 106 is coupled with the processor 110 and an I/O device. The I/O device is configured to receive inputs via the I/O interface 106 and transmit outputs for displaying in the I/O device via the I/O interface 106. The data modelling system 102 further comprises data 204 and modules 206. In one implementation, the data 204 and the modules 206 may be stored within the memory 104. In one example, the data 204 may include historic dataset 208, reference statistical summary value 210, specific statistical summary value 212, significance matrix 214, plurality of significance interval 216 and other data 218. In one embodiment, the data 204 may be stored in the memory 104 in the form of various data structures. Additionally, the aforementioned data can be organized using data models, such as relational or hierarchical data models. The other data 218 may be also referred to as reference repository for storing recommended implementation approaches as reference data. The other data 218 may also store data, including temporary data and temporary files, generated by the modules 206 for performing the various functions of the system 102. The modules 206 may include, for example, the statistical summary value analyzer 114, the dataset classifier 116, the data model generator 118, a data updating module 220, and a future forecast value determination (FFVD) module 222. The modules 206 may also comprise other modules 224 to perform various miscellaneous functionalities of the data modelling system 102. It will be appreciated that such aforementioned modules may be represented as a single module or a combination of different modules. The modules 206 may be implemented in the form of software, hardware and/or firmware. The data modelling system 102 receives the plurality of historic dataset 208 from the HD database 106. The plurality of historic dataset 208 comprises one or more data corresponding to one or more response or dependent variables (hereinafter referred to as first variables) and data associated with one or more suspected predictor or independent variables (hereinafter referred to as second variables). The SSVA 114 determines the reference statistical summary value 210 of the plurality of historic dataset 208 using known techniques. In one example, the SSVA 114 determines the reference mean value of the plurality of historic dataset based on data related to the one or more first variables. Upon determining the reference statistical summary value 210, a plurality of dataset groups is generated using classification techniques. In one embodiment, the dataset classifier 116 dynamically classifies the plurality of historic dataset 208 based on data related to the one or more second variables. The dataset classifier 116 selects the one or more second variables and determines boundary values of the one or more selected second variables. Based on the boundary values, the dataset classifier 116 repeatedly determines a plurality of discrete interval values and a step-size corresponding to the plurality of discrete interval values. In another embodiment, a user may manually provide the boundary values, the plurality of discrete interval values and the corresponding step-sizes. Upon determination, the dataset classifier 116 generates the plurality of dataset groups of the one or more second variables based on the plurality of discrete interval values and step-size. For each of the plurality of classified dataset groups, the SSVA 114 determines the specific statistical summary value 212 using known techniques. In one example, the SSVA 114 determines the specific mean value of each of the plurality of classified dataset groups based on data related to the one or more second variables. Upon determining the specific statistical summary value 212, the data model is generated based on the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212. In one embodiment, the data model generator 118 compares the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212 and determines a statistical significance factor (k) based on the comparison. The significance factor (k) indicates as to whether there exists a substantial difference or not between the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212. The value of k may be for example, between 0 and 1. If the data model generator 118 determines that there exists a substantial difference, then the significance factor (k) is set equals to 1 and the specific statistical summary value 212 is determined as the forecasted statistical summary value. On the other hand, if the data model generator 118 determines that there exists no substantial difference, and then the significance factor (k) is set equals to 0 and the reference statistical summary value 212 is determined as the forecasted statistical summary value. Based on the forecasted statistical summary value thus determined, the data model generator 118 generates a significance matrix of the one or more second variables. In one embodiment, the data model generator 118 generates the significance matrix based on the determined significance factor (k). The significance matrix may be a matrix of the significance factor (k) mapped against the plurality of discrete intervals (alternatively referred to as significance intervals) of one or more second variables. Based on the significance matrix, the data model generator 118 determines the data model by mapping the corresponding forecasted statistical summary value of the one or more second variables. Upon generating the data model, the future forecasted value of data is determined. In one embodiment, the FFVD module 220 determines the future forecasted value of data based on the historically determined forecasted data value stored in the HD database 106 and the data model thus generated. The data updating module 222 dynamically updates the future forecasted value of data, the generated data model and actual value corresponding to the forecast in the HD database 106 for further forecasting of data. Thus, the present disclosure dynamically generates a data model for forecasting data related to the event that reduces the errors that arise during forecasting by considering all factors or variables and improve the efficiency of the data forecasting. Figure 3 illustrates a flowchart of an exemplary method of dynamically generating a data model for forecasting data related to an event in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure; As illustrated in Figure 3, the method 300 comprises one or more blocks implemented by the processor 110 for dynamically generating a data model for forecasting data related to the event. The method 300 may be described in the general context of computer executable instructions. Generally, computer executable instructions can include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, procedures, modules, and functions, which perform particular functions or implement particular abstract data types. The order in which the method 300 is described is not intended to be construed as a limitation, and any number of the described method blocks can be combined in any order to implement the method 300. Additionally, individual blocks may be deleted from the method 300 without departing from the spirit and scope of the subject matter described herein. Furthermore, the method 300 can be implemented in any suitable hardware, software, firmware, or combination thereof. At block 302, receive historic dataset. In one embodiment, the data modelling system 102 receives the plurality of historic dataset 208 from the HD database 106. The plurality of historic dataset 208 comprises one or more data corresponding to the one or more first variables and data associated with the one or more second variables. Let us consider an illustrating scenario, where the data modelling system 102 receives historic dataset of for example, error data related to forecasting of power consumption data obtained at particular time at a particular location. The data modelling system 102 aims at error modeling to reduce the errors thus obtained during the forecasting of power consumption data so as to monitor the power consumption at different locations at different time periods and reduce the unused energy and thereby improve the efficiency of power grid operation. Actual data related to energy consumption captured during past time at different locations is stored in the HD database 106. Further, corresponding forecasted data and error data obtained due to the difference between the forecasted and actual data are stored in the HD database 106. Thus, the plurality of historic dataset comprises error data as data of the one or more first variables (y) and temporal, spatial/geographical data as data of the one or more second variables (a b). In one example, let us consider that the HD database 106 may comprise data from an electric utility i.e., 24 hours error data of 1st to 3rd April 2014 and the data modelling system 102 forecast the load of 8th April 2014 at 2AM at location 1. At block 304, determine reference statistical summary value. In one embodiment, the SSVA 114 determines the reference statistical summary value 210 of the plurality of historic dataset 208. In one example, the SSVA 114 determines the reference mean value (µr) of the plurality of historic dataset based on data related to the one or more first variables. In one aspect, the probability distribution of the error data is graphically determined along the time. As illustrated, the reference mean value µr of the historic error data is determined i.e., µr = 389 MW. At block 306, classify the historic dataset into dataset groups. In one embodiment, the dataset classifier 116 dynamically classifies the plurality of historic dataset 208 based on data related to the one or more second variables. The dataset classifier 116 selects the one or more second variables and determines boundary values of the one or more selected second variables. Based on the boundary values, the dataset classifier 116 repeatedly determines a plurality of discrete interval values and a step-size corresponding to the plurality of discrete interval values. As illustrated, the dataset classifier 116 generates the plurality of dataset groups i.e., the error data at 2 AM at location 1 for the three days. At block 308, determine specific statistical summary value of each dataset group. For each of the plurality of classified dataset groups, the SSVA 114 determines the specific statistical summary value 212 using known techniques. In one example, the SSVA 114 determines the specific mean value (µ1) of each of the plurality of classified dataset groups based on data related to the one or more second variables. As per the illustration, the SSVA 114 determines the specific mean value µ1 based on the error data at 2AM at location 1 for the three days i.e., µ1 = 292 MW. At block 310, generate a data model. In one embodiment, the data model generator 118 compares the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212 and determines a statistical significance factor (k) based on the comparison. The significance factor (k) indicates as to whether there exists a substantial difference or not between the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212. The value of k may be for example, between 0 and 1. If the data model generator 118 determines that there exists a substantial difference, then the significance factor (k) is set equals to 1 and the specific statistical summary value 212 is determined as the forecasted statistical summary value. On the other hand, if the data model generator 118 determines that there exists no substantial difference, and then the significance factor (k) is set equals to 0 and the reference statistical summary value 212 is determined as the forecasted statistical summary value. As illustrated, the data model generator 118 determines a significant difference between µr and µ1, therefore, the value of significance factor k is set to 1. Based on the forecasted statistical summary value thus determined, the data model generator 118 generates a significance matrix of the one or more second variables. In one embodiment, the data model generator 118 generates the significance matrix based on the determined significance factor (k). The significance matrix may be a matrix of the significance factor (k) mapped against the plurality of discrete intervals (alternatively referred to as significance intervals) of one or more second variables. For example, the second variable ‘a’ may be the temporal variable for example, time of the day say 1AM or 2 AM and ‘b’ may be spatial variable, for example geographic location 1 and geographic location 2. a 1 AM 2 AM b Location 1 0 1 Location 2 0 1 At the location 1, it may be noted that the temporal variable at 2AM has high significance interval in the data model thus generated. Based on the significance matrix, the data model generator 118 determines the data model by mapping the corresponding the forecasted statistical summary value of the one or more second variables as illustrated below in equation (1). y1 = µr * (1-k) + µ1 * k …………………………………………….. (1) Upon generating the data model, the future forecasted value of data is determined. In one embodiment, the FFVD module 220 determines the future forecasted value of data based on the historically determined forecasted data value stored in the HD database 106 and the data model of error thus generated. An illustration of comparison of results of conventional and proposed data model is shown below: Conventional data model Exemplary data model Error model y= µr y1 = µr * (1-k) + µ1 * k Error model output 389 MW 292 MW (since k=1) New Forecast value 13306 + 389 = 13695 MW 13306 + 292 = 13598 MW Actual load 13595 13595 New Error 100 MW 3 MW The data updating module 22 then dynamically updates the future forecasted value of data, the generated data model in the HD database 106 for further forecasting of data.

Figure 1 illustrates an architecture diagram of an exemplary system for dynamically generating a data model for forecasting data related to an event in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure;
As shown in Figure 1, the exemplary system 100 comprises one or more components configured to dynamically generate the data model for forecasting data related to an event. In one embodiment, the exemplary system 100 comprises a data modelling system 102, a plurality of sensors 104-1, 104-2,…104-N (collectively referred to as sensors 104) and a historic data (HD) database 106 connected via a communication network 108. The data modelling system 102 dynamically generates the data model based on data captured by sensors 104 and stored in the HD database 106. In one embodiment, the sensors 104 and the HD database 106 may be integrated within the data modelling system 102. In another embodiment, the sensors 104 and the HD database 106 may be implemented independent of the data modelling system 102.
The sensors 104 may be for example, the data sensors configured to receive data related to an event. The data may include data associated with a plurality of variables associated with the past historic events. The data may be stored in the HD database and hereinafter referred to as plurality of historic data. The plurality of historic data is processed by the data modelling system 102 to generate the data model dynamically in real time.
In one embodiment, the data modelling system 102 comprises a central processing unit (“CPU” or “processor”) 110, a memory 112, a statistical summary value analyzer (SSVA) 114, a dataset classifier 116 and a data model generator 118. The data modelling system 102 may be a typical data modelling system as illustrated in Figure 2. The data modelling system 102 comprises the processor 110, the memory 112 and an I/O interface 202. The I/O interface 106 is coupled with the processor 110 and an I/O device. The I/O device is configured to receive inputs via the I/O interface 106 and transmit outputs for displaying in the I/O device via the I/O interface 106.
The data modelling system 102 further comprises data 204 and modules 206. In one implementation, the data 204 and the modules 206 may be stored within the memory 104. In one example, the data 204 may include historic dataset 208, reference statistical summary value 210, specific statistical summary value 212, significance matrix 214, plurality of significance interval 216 and other data 218. In one embodiment, the data 204 may be stored in the memory 104 in the form of various data structures. Additionally, the aforementioned data can be organized using data models, such as relational or hierarchical data models. The other data 218 may be also referred to as reference repository for storing recommended implementation approaches as reference data. The other data 218 may also store data, including temporary data and temporary files, generated by the modules 206 for performing the various functions of the system 102.
The modules 206 may include, for example, the statistical summary value analyzer 114, the dataset classifier 116, the data model generator 118, a data updating module 220, and a future forecast value determination (FFVD) module 222. The modules 206 may also comprise other modules 224 to perform various miscellaneous functionalities of the data modelling system 102. It will be appreciated that such aforementioned modules may be represented as a single module or a combination of different modules. The modules 206 may be implemented in the form of software, hardware and/or firmware.
The data modelling system 102 receives the plurality of historic dataset 208 from the HD database 106. The plurality of historic dataset 208 comprises one or more data corresponding to one or more response or dependent variables (hereinafter referred to as first variables) and data associated with one or more suspected predictor or independent variables (hereinafter referred to as second variables). The SSVA 114 determines the reference statistical summary value 210 of the plurality of historic dataset 208 using known techniques. In one example, the SSVA 114 determines the reference mean value of the plurality of historic dataset based on data related to the one or more first variables. Upon determining the reference statistical summary value 210, a plurality of dataset groups is generated using classification techniques.
In one embodiment, the dataset classifier 116 dynamically classifies the plurality of historic dataset 208 based on data related to the one or more second variables. The dataset classifier 116 selects the one or more second variables and determines boundary values of the one or more selected second variables. Based on the boundary values, the dataset classifier 116 repeatedly determines a plurality of discrete interval values and a step-size corresponding to the plurality of discrete interval values. In another embodiment, a user may manually provide the boundary values, the plurality of discrete interval values and the corresponding step-sizes. Upon determination, the dataset classifier 116 generates the plurality of dataset groups of the one or more second variables based on the plurality of discrete interval values and step-size. For each of the plurality of classified dataset groups, the SSVA 114 determines the specific statistical summary value 212 using known techniques. In one example, the SSVA 114 determines the specific mean value of each of the plurality of classified dataset groups based on data related to the one or more second variables. Upon determining the specific statistical summary value 212, the data model is generated based on the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212.
In one embodiment, the data model generator 118 compares the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212 and determines a statistical significance factor (k) based on the comparison. The significance factor (k) indicates as to whether there exists a substantial difference or not between the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212. The value of k may be for example, between 0 and 1. If the data model generator 118 determines that there exists a substantial difference, then the significance factor (k) is set equals to 1 and the specific statistical summary value 212 is determined as the forecasted statistical summary value. On the other hand, if the data model generator 118 determines that there exists no substantial difference, and then the significance factor (k) is set equals to 0 and the reference statistical summary value 212 is determined as the forecasted statistical summary value. Based on the forecasted statistical summary value thus determined, the data model generator 118 generates a significance matrix of the one or more second variables.
In one embodiment, the data model generator 118 generates the significance matrix based on the determined significance factor (k). The significance matrix may be a matrix of the significance factor (k) mapped against the plurality of discrete intervals (alternatively referred to as significance intervals) of one or more second variables. Based on the significance matrix, the data model generator 118 determines the data model by mapping the corresponding forecasted statistical summary value of the one or more second variables. Upon generating the data model, the future forecasted value of data is determined.
In one embodiment, the FFVD module 220 determines the future forecasted value of data based on the historically determined forecasted data value stored in the HD database 106 and the data model thus generated. The data updating module 222 dynamically updates the future forecasted value of data, the generated data model and actual value corresponding to the forecast in the HD database 106 for further forecasting of data.
Thus, the present disclosure dynamically generates a data model for forecasting data related to the event that reduces the errors that arise during forecasting by considering all factors or variables and improve the efficiency of the data forecasting.
Figure 3 illustrates a flowchart of an exemplary method of dynamically generating a data model for forecasting data related to an event in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure;
As illustrated in Figure 3, the method 300 comprises one or more blocks implemented by the processor 110 for dynamically generating a data model for forecasting data related to the event. The method 300 may be described in the general context of computer executable instructions. Generally, computer executable instructions can include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, procedures, modules, and functions, which perform particular functions or implement particular abstract data types.
The order in which the method 300 is described is not intended to be construed as a limitation, and any number of the described method blocks can be combined in any order to implement the method 300. Additionally, individual blocks may be deleted from the method 300 without departing from the spirit and scope of the subject matter described herein. Furthermore, the method 300 can be implemented in any suitable hardware, software, firmware, or combination thereof.

The plurality of historic dataset 208 comprises one or more data corresponding to the one or more first variables and data associated with the one or more second variables.
Let us consider an illustrating scenario, where the data modelling system 102 receives historic dataset of for example, error data related to forecasting of power consumption data obtained at particular time at a particular location. The data modelling system 102 aims at error modeling to reduce the errors thus obtained during the forecasting of power consumption data so as to monitor the power consumption at different locations at different time periods and reduce the unused energy and thereby improve the efficiency of power grid operation. Actual data related to energy consumption captured during past time at different locations is stored in the HD database 106. Further, corresponding forecasted data and error data obtained due to the difference between the forecasted and actual data are stored in the HD database 106. Thus, the plurality of historic dataset comprises error data as data of the one or more first variables (y) and temporal, spatial/geographical data as data of the one or more second variables (a b). In one example, let us consider that the HD database 106 may comprise data from an electric utility i.e., 24 hours error data of 1st to 3rd April 2014 and the data modelling system 102 forecast the load of 8th April 2014 at 2AM at location 1.
At block 304, determine reference statistical summary value. In one embodiment, the SSVA 114 determines the reference statistical summary value 210 of the plurality of historic dataset 208. In one example, the SSVA 114 determines the reference mean value (µr) of the plurality of historic dataset based on data related to the one or more first variables. In one aspect, the probability distribution of the error data is graphically determined along the time. As illustrated, the reference mean value µr of the historic error data is determined i.e., µr = 389 MW.
At block 306, classify the historic dataset into dataset groups. In one embodiment, the dataset classifier 116 dynamically classifies the plurality of historic dataset 208 based on data related to the one or more second variables. The dataset classifier 116 selects the one or more second variables and determines boundary values of the one or more selected second variables. Based on the boundary values, the dataset classifier 116 repeatedly determines a plurality of discrete interval values and a step-size corresponding to the plurality of discrete interval values. As illustrated, the dataset classifier 116 generates the plurality of dataset groups i.e., the error data at 2 AM at location 1 for the three days.
At block 308, determine specific statistical summary value of each dataset group. For each of the plurality of classified dataset groups, the SSVA 114 determines the specific statistical summary value 212 using known techniques. In one example, the SSVA 114 determines the specific mean value (µ1) of each of the plurality of classified dataset groups based on data related to the one or more second variables. As per the illustration, the SSVA 114 determines the specific mean value µ1 based on the error data at 2AM at location 1 for the three days i.e., µ1 = 292 MW.
At block 310, generate a data model. In one embodiment, the data model generator 118 compares the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212 and determines a statistical significance factor (k) based on the comparison. The significance factor (k) indicates as to whether there exists a substantial difference or not between the reference statistical summary value 210 and the specific statistical summary value 212. The value of k may be for example, between 0 and 1. If the data model generator 118 determines that there exists a substantial difference, then the significance factor (k) is set equals to 1 and the specific statistical summary value 212 is determined as the forecasted statistical summary value. On the other hand, if the data model generator 118 determines that there exists no substantial difference, and then the significance factor (k) is set equals to 0 and the reference statistical summary value 212 is determined as the forecasted statistical summary value. As illustrated, the data model generator 118 determines a significant difference between µr and µ1, therefore, the value of significance factor k is set to 1. Based on the forecasted statistical summary value thus determined, the data model generator 118 generates a significance matrix of the one or more second variables.
In one embodiment, the data model generator 118 generates the significance matrix based on the determined significance factor (k). The significance matrix may be a matrix of the significance factor (k) mapped against the plurality of discrete intervals (alternatively referred to as significance intervals) of one or more second variables. For example, the second variable ‘a’ may be the temporal variable for example, time of the day say 1AM or 2 AM and ‘b’ may be spatial variable, for example geographic location 1 and geographic location 2.

a
1 AM 2 AM
b Location 1 0 1
Location 2 0 1

At the location 1, it may be noted that the temporal variable at 2AM has high significance interval in the data model thus generated.
Based on the significance matrix, the data model generator 118 determines the data model by mapping the corresponding the forecasted statistical summary value of the one or more second variables as illustrated below in equation (1).
y1 = µr * (1-k) + µ1 * k …………………………………………….. (1)
Upon generating the data model, the future forecasted value of data is determined. In one embodiment, the FFVD module 220 determines the future forecasted value of data based on the historically determined forecasted data value stored in the HD database 106 and the data model of error thus generated.
An illustration of comparison of results of conventional and proposed data model is shown below:
Conventional data model Exemplary data model
Error model y= µr y1 = µr * (1-k) + µ1 * k
Error model output 389 MW 292 MW (since k=1)
New Forecast value 13306 + 389 = 13695 MW 13306 + 292 = 13598 MW
Actual load 13595 13595
New Error 100 MW 3 MW

The data updating module 22 then dynamically updates the future forecasted value of data, the generated data model in the HD database 106 for further forecasting of data.
