In the real-life, time-series data comprise a complicated pattern, hence it may be challenging to increase prediction accuracy rates by using machine learning and conventional statistical methods as single learners. This research outlines and investigates the Stacking Multi-Learning Ensemble (SMLE) model for time series prediction problem over various horizons with a focus on the forecasts accuracy, directions hit-rate, and the average growth rate of total oil demand. This investigation presents a flexible ensemble framework in light of blend heterogeneous models for demonstrating and forecasting nonlinear time series. The proposed SMLE model combines support vector regression (SVR), backpropagation neural network (BPNN), and linear regression (LR) learners, the ensemble architecture consists of four phases: generation, pruning, integration, and ensemble prediction task. We have conducted an empirical study to evaluate and compare the performance of SMLE using Global Oil Consumption (GOC). Thus, the assessment of the proposed model was conducted at single and multistep horizon prediction using unique benchmark techniques. The final results reveal that the proposed SMLE model outperforms all the other benchmark methods listed in this study at various levels such as error rate, similarity, and directional accuracy by 0.74%, 0.020%, and 91.24%, respectively. Therefore, this study demonstrates that the ensemble model is an extremely encouraging methodology for complex time series forecasting.
Abstract-Currently, predicting time series utilizes as interesting research area for temporal mining aspects. Financial Time Series (FTS) delineated as one of the most challenging tasks, due to data characteristics is devoid of linearity, stationary, noisy, high degree of uncertainty and hidden relations. Several singles' models proposed using both statistical and data mining approaches powerless to deal with these issues. The main objective of this study is to propose a hybrid model, using additive and linear regression methods to combine linear and non-linear models. However, three models are investigated, namely, ARIMA, EXP, and ANN. Firstly, those models are feeding by exchange rate data set (SDG-EURO). Then, the arithmetical outcome of each model is examined as benchmark models and set of aforementioned hybrid models in related literature. Results showed the superiority in hybrid model on all other investigated models based on 0.82% MAPE error's measure for accuracy. Based on the results of this study, we can conclude that further experiments desirable to estimate the weights for accurate combination method and more models essential to be surveyed in the areas of series prediction.
