The widespread popularity of smart meters enables the collection of an immense amount of fine-grained data, thereby realizing a two-way information flow between the grid and the customer, along with personalized interaction services, such as precise demand response. These services basically rely on the accurate estimation of electricity demand, and the key challenge lies in the high volatility and uncertainty of load profiles and the tremendous communication pressure on the data link or computing center. This study proposed a novel two-stage approach for estimating household electricity demand based on edge deep sparse coding. In the first sparse coding stage, the status of electrical devices was introduced into the deep non-negative k-means-singular value decomposition (K-SVD) sparse algorithm to estimate the behavior of customers. The patterns extracted in the first stage were used to train the long short-term memory (LSTM) network and forecast household electricity demand in the subsequent 30 min. The developed method was implemented on the Python platform and tested on AMPds dataset. The proposed method outperformed the multi-layer perception (MLP) by 51.26%, the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA) by 36.62%, and LSTM with shallow K-SVD by 16.4% in terms of mean absolute percent error (MAPE). In the field of mean absolute error and root mean squared error, the improvement was 53.95% and 36.73% compared with MLP, 28.47% and 23.36% compared with ARIMA, 11.38% and 18.16% compared with LSTM with shallow K-SVD. The results of the experiments demonstrated that the proposed method can provide considerable and stable improvement in household electricity demand estimation.

Since December 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is outbreak from China and infected more than 4,666,000 people and caused thousands of deaths. Unfortunately, the infection numbers and deaths are still increasing rapidly which has put the world on the catastrophic abyss edge. Application of artificial intelligence and spatiotemporal distribution techniques can play a key role to infection forecasting in national and province levels in many countries. As methodology, the presented study employs long short-term memory-based deep for time series forecasting, the confirmed cases in both national and province levels, in Iran. The data were collected from February 19, to March 22, 2020 in provincial level and from February 19, to May 13, 2020 in national level by nationally recognised sources. For justification, we use the recurrent neural network, seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average, Holt winter's exponential smoothing, and moving averages approaches. Furthermore, the mean absolute error, mean squared error, and mean absolute percentage error metrics are used as evaluation factors with associate the trend analysis. The results of our experiments show that the LSTM model is performed better than the other methods on the collected COVID-19 dataset in Iran

In this paper, we analyze and predict the number of daily confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) based on two statistical models and a deep learning (DL) model; the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH), and the stacked long short-term memory deep neural network (LSTM DNN). We find the orders of the statistical models by the autocorrelation function and the partial autocorrelation function, and the hyperparameters of the DL model, such as the numbers of LSTM cells and blocks of a cell, by the exhaustive search. Ten datasets are used in the experiment; nine countries and the world datasets, from Dec. 31, 2019, to Feb. 22, 2021, provided by the WHO. We investigate the effects of data size and vaccination on performance. Numerical results show that performance depends on the used data's dates and vaccination. It also shows that the prediction by the LSTM DNN is better than those of the two statistical models. Based on the experimental results, the percentage improvements of LSTM DNN are up to 88.54% (86.63%) and 90.15% (87.74%) compared to ARIMA and GARCH, respectively, in mean absolute error (root mean squared error). While the performances of ARIMA and GARCH are varying according to the datasets. The obtained results may provide a criterion for the performance ranges and prediction accuracy of the COVID-19 daily confirmed cases.Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2021-0302-7 Full Text: PDF

Prediction of stock market trends is considered as an important task and is of great attention as predicting stock prices successfully may lead to attractive profits by making proper decisions. Stock market prediction is a major challenge owing to non-stationary, blaring, and chaotic data and thus, the prediction becomes challenging among the investors to invest the money for making profits. Initially, the blockchain network is fed to the blockchain network bridge from which the bitcoin data is acquired that is followed with the bitcoin prediction. Bitcoin prediction is performed using the proposed FuzzyCSA-based Deep Long short-term memory (LSTM). At first, the flow strength indicators are extracted based on Double exponential moving average (DEMA), Rate of Change (ROCR), Average True Range (ATR), Simple Moving Average (SMA), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) from the blockchain data. Based on the extracted features, the prediction is done using FuzzyCSA-based Deep LSTM, which is the combination of FuzzyCSA with Deep LSTM. Then, the CSA is modified using the fuzzy operator for determining the optimal weights in Deep LSTM. The experimentation of the proposed method is performed from the openly available dataset. The analysis of the method in terms of Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) reveals that the proposed FuzzyCSA-based Deep LSTM acquired a minimal MAE of 0.4811, and the minimal RMSE of 0.3905, respectively.

Forecasting of potential tourists’ appearance could assume a critical role in the tourism industry, arranging at all levels in both the private and public sectors. In this study our aim to build an econometric model to forecast worldwide visitor streams to Bangladesh. For this purpose, the present investigation focuses on univariate Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) modeling. Model choice criteria were Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Squared Error (RMSE). As per descriptive statistics, the mean appearances were 207012 and will be 656522 (application) every year. Mean Absolute Deviation and Mean Squared Deviation likewise concurred with MAPE, MAE, and MSE. The result reveals that for sustainable development the SARIMA model is the reasonable model for forecasting universal visitor appearances in Bangladesh.

Abstract Inflation forecasting has been and continues to be an important issue for the world's economies. Governments, through their central banks, watch closely inflation indicators to make national decisions and policies. Controlling growth and contraction requires governments to keep a close eye on the rate of inflation. When planning strategic national investments, governments attempt to forecast inflation over longer periods of time. Getting the inflation forecast wrong, can result in significant economic hardships. However, even given its significance, there is limited new research that applies updated methodologies to forecast it, and even fewer studies in emerging economies where inflation may be drastically higher. This study proposes to forecast the inflation rate in emerging economies based on the commonly used Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) approach combined with Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). The results indicate that the proposed model based on the combination of SARIMA and LSTM, have a higher accuracy in inflation forecasts as measured by the Mean Square Error (MSE) of the proposed models over the SARIMA model and LSTM alone. The loss function used is Mean Squared Error (MSE), and the Model Confidence Set (MCS) is used to test the superiority of the models in the economies of Mexico, Colombia and Peru.

Natural rubber (NR) has recently become one of Malaysia's most important economic sectors. Despite, the price of Standard Malaysia Rubber 20 changes frequently. That is why it is important to develop a NR price forecasting model. Because there was a significant time lag between making output decisions and the actual output of the commodity in the market. The aim of this study is to determine the time series pattern for natural rubber price in Malaysia within 1995 until 2020 and to forecast the natural rubber price in Malaysia for 10 years ahead. The data used is from year 1995 until 2020 that were obtained from Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB). This study also used univariate forecasting like Naïve with Trend, Double Exponential Smoothing, Holt’s Winter and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). Then, the measurement error is used to determine the best method to forecast the future data. The measurement error that used in this study are Mean Absolute Error, Mean Squared Error, Root Mean Square Error, Mean Absolute Percentage Error and The Theil Inequality Coefficient. Result: The natural rubber price in Malaysia showed a trend pattern. Then, ARIMA is used to determine the forecast of natural rubber price for next 10 years since it has the lowest measurement error. Conclusion: There are volatility in the price of natural rubber in Malaysia over the next 10 years.

Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 is rapidly spreading around the world and became a pandemic disease. For help to better planning of interventions, this study was conducted to forecast the number of daily new infected cases with COVID-19 for next thirty days in Iran. Methods: The information of observed Iranian new cases from 19th Feb to 30th Mar 2020 was used to predict the number of patients until 29th Apr. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models were applied for prediction. The data was prepared from daily reports of Iran Ministry of Health and open datasets provided by the JOHN Hopkins. To compare models, dataset was separated into train and test sets. Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) was the comparison criteria. Results: Both algorithms forecasted an exponential increase in number of newly infected patients. If the spreading pattern continues the same as before, the number of daily new cases would be 7872 and 9558 by 29th Apr, respectively by ANN and ARIMA. While Model comparison confirmed that ARIMA prediction was more accurate than ANN. Conclusion: COVID-19 is contagious disease, and has infected many people in Iran. Our results are an alarm for health policy planners and decision-makers, to make timely decisions, control the disease and provide the equipment needed.
