Description:Modelling and Forecasting Time Series Data in Mathematics
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of numerical simulation and modelling techniques in mathematics. More specifically, the invention pertains to novel numerical algorithms, systems, and methods that provide improved efficiency, accuracy, or stability for solving mathematical problems or simulating complex systems. The invention may be applicable to a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, computational fluid dynamics, structural analysis, optimization problems, partial differential equations, and machine learning.
Background
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Time series data refers to a collection of data points indexed or listed in time order. This type of data is prevalent in numerous fields, including finance, economics, engineering, and the physical and social sciences. In many cases, the ability to model and forecast time series data is critical for decision-making and planning. For instance, businesses rely on accurate sales forecasts to optimize inventory management, while meteorologists require precise weather predictions to warn the public about potential hazards.
[0004] A variety of mathematical and statistical techniques have been developed to model and forecast time series data, ranging from classical methods like autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models to more recent advancements in machine learning, such as artificial neural networks and deep learning models. These techniques attempt to capture the underlying structure and dynamics of the time series data in order to generate accurate predictions of future data points.
[0005] Despite the availability of numerous forecasting methods, several challenges persist in the field of modelling and forecasting time series data. One such challenge is the selection of an appropriate forecasting algorithm. The performance of forecasting algorithms can be highly dependent on the specific characteristics of the data, such as the presence of trends, seasonality, and noise. Consequently, an algorithm that performs well on one dataset may not necessarily perform well on another dataset with different characteristics.
[0006] Another challenge in time series forecasting is the need for adaptive algorithms that can dynamically adjust their parameters to accommodate changing patterns in the data. This is particularly important in cases where the underlying system generating the data is non-stationary, meaning that its statistical properties evolve over time. Non-stationary data often require more complex models and algorithms, which can be computationally expensive and difficult to implement.
[0007] Furthermore, time series forecasting techniques often involve trade-offs between accuracy, computational efficiency, and model interpretability. For example, while deep learning models may provide high levels of accuracy, they can be computationally intensive and difficult to interpret, making them less suitable for real-time applications or for users who require a deeper understanding of the underlying model structure.
[0008] In light of these challenges, there is a need for innovative time series forecasting algorithms, systems, and methods that can provide improved accuracy, efficiency, and stability across a wide range of applications and data types. Ideally, these novel techniques would be adaptive, capable of handling non-stationary data and dynamically adjusting their parameters based on the characteristics of the input data. Additionally, the development of hybrid algorithms that combine the strengths of two or more existing forecasting methods could offer a versatile approach to time series forecasting, potentially addressing some of the limitations associated with individual algorithms.
[0009] All references, including publications, patent applications, and patents, cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each reference were individually and specifically indicated to be incorporated by reference and were set forth in its entirety herein.
[00010] It also shall be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. This invention can be achieved by means of hardware including several different elements or by means of a suitably programmed computer. In the unit claims that list several means, several ones among these means can be specifically embodied in the same hardware item. The use of such words as first, second, third does not represent any order, which can be simply explained as names.

The invention may be applicable to a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, computational fluid dynamics, structural analysis, optimization problems, partial differential equations, and machine learning.
[00039] FIG. 1 represents a method 100 for modelling and forecasting time series data in mathematics, comprising the steps of receiving (at step 102) input data representing a time series dataset, processing (at step 104) said input data using a novel time series forecasting algorithm, said algorithm being configured to model the underlying structure of said time series data and predict future values with improved accuracy, efficiency, or stability compared to existing forecasting algorithms, generating (at step 106) output data representing forecasted values for the time series data, and displaying (at step 108) or storing said output data.
[00040] In this embodiment, the method focuses on forecasting time series data by employing a novel hybrid algorithm that combines two or more existing time series forecasting algorithms. This approach provides enhanced performance for a specific class of time series data, improving accuracy, efficiency, or stability compared to existing methods. For example, consider a stock price dataset, where the objective is to forecast future price movements. The input data represents the historical stock price data. The novel hybrid algorithm combines autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models to capture both linear and nonlinear patterns in the data. The output data represents the forecasted stock prices, which can be displayed or stored for further analysis and decision-making.
[00041] In this embodiment, the method employs a novel adaptive time series forecasting algorithm that dynamically adjusts its parameters based on the input data's characteristics. This adaptability enables the algorithm to optimize performance for various types of time series data. For example, consider an electricity demand dataset, where the goal is to predict future demand levels. The input data represents the historical electricity demand data. The novel adaptive algorithm employs a seasonal decomposition of time series (STL) to adjust its parameters based on seasonality patterns in the data. The output data represents the forecasted electricity demand, which can be displayed or stored for further analysis and resource planning.
[00042] In this embodiment, the method utilizes a novel time series forecasting algorithm with parallel processing capabilities. This approach enables the efficient use of multi-core processors or distributed computing systems, speeding up forecasting tasks for large datasets. For example, consider a weather variable dataset, such as temperature or precipitation, where the aim is to predict future values across a large geographical area. The input data represents the historical weather data for multiple locations. The novel parallel algorithm employs an ensemble of machine learning models, such as decision trees or support vector machines, distributed across multiple processors or computing nodes. The output data represents the forecasted weather variables, which can be displayed or stored for further analysis and decision-making.
[00043] In this embodiment, the method includes pre-processing the input data to remove noise, seasonality, or other components that may adversely affect the forecasting algorithm's performance. Additionally, the method involves post-processing the output data to adjust for bias, scaling, or other transformations required to generate accurate forecasted values. For example, consider a retail sales dataset, where the objective is to predict future sales levels. The input data represents the historical sales data. The pre-processing step involves removing seasonality and noise through techniques such as differencing or moving average smoothing. The novel forecasting algorithm, such as an exponential smoothing state space model, processes the pre-processed data. The post-processing step adjusts the forecasted values for bias and scaling to generate accurate sales predictions. The output data represents the forecasted sales levels, which can be displayed or stored for further analysis and inventory management.
[00044] In this embodiment, the method includes evaluating the performance of the novel time series forecasting algorithm using one or more error metrics or performance measures. This evaluation enables the selection of the most appropriate forecasting algorithm for a given dataset or problem. For example, consider an airline passenger dataset, where the goal is to predict future passenger numbers. The input module receives historical airline passenger data, which may include data on the number of passengers, flight routes, seasonal patterns, and other relevant factors. The pre-processing module is employed to clean the data, removing any noise or outliers and accounting for seasonality or other trends that may affect the performance of the forecasting algorithm.
FIG. 2 illustrates system 200 comprises several modules, including an input module 202 that receives input data representing a time series dataset. Following this, a processing module 204 processes the input data using a novel time series forecasting algorithm. This algorithm is configured to outperform existing forecasting algorithms in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and stability. An output module 206 configured to generate output data representing forecasted values for the time series data and a display or storage module 208 is configured to display or store said output data.
[00045] The processing module employs a novel time series forecasting algorithm, such as an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) neural network or a combination of ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) and ETS (Exponential Smoothing State Space Model) models, to model the underlying structure of the dataset and predict future passenger numbers. The system utilizes parallel processing capabilities to efficiently process the data and generate forecasts. The output module generates forecasted passenger numbers for a specified period, such as the next 12 months. The post-processing module adjusts the output data for any biases, scaling, or transformations required to generate accurate forecasted values.
[00046] To evaluate the performance of the novel time series forecasting algorithm, the evaluation module employs one or more error metrics or performance measures, such as mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), or mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). These metrics enable the system to assess the accuracy of the forecasts and compare the performance of different forecasting algorithms or models.
[00047] The visualization module presents the historical and forecasted passenger numbers in a graphical or interactive format, such as a line chart, bar chart, or interactive dashboard. This visualization allows users to easily analyze trends, patterns, and potential anomalies in the data and assess the accuracy of the forecasted values. Finally, the display or storage module displays or stores the forecasted passenger numbers, along with any relevant performance metrics or evaluation results, for further analysis, decision-making, and strategic planning by airline and aviation industry stakeholders.
[00048] In this embodiment, the system focuses on forecasting time series data using a novel hybrid algorithm that combines two or more existing time series forecasting algorithms. This approach enhances performance for a specific class of time series data, improving accuracy, efficiency, or stability compared to existing methods. For example, consider a system designed to forecast stock prices. The input module receives historical stock price data, and the processing module employs a novel hybrid algorithm combining autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models. This combination captures both linear and nonlinear patterns in the data.

The processing module employs a novel forecasting algorithm, such as an exponential smoothing state space model, to process the pre-processed data. The post-processing module adjusts the forecasted values for bias and scaling to generate accurate sales predictions.
