g 08-17-2007 W. Yan 4 Challenges and modeling strategies A model-building strategy that can automatically identify features (i.e., trend, seasonality, etc) of time series and arrives in a forecast model with robust & accurate performance for a large number of time series A large number of time series with different features. Manual, ad-hoc modeling strategies are not working

g 08-17-2007 W. Yan 7 It’s a variation of “nearest neighbor” approach Forecast for an input is a weighted average of the outputs in the training examples. The closer an input to the training example, the larger the weight of its corresponding output. Advantages 1.It’s a universal approximator 2.It’s fast in training (one-pass learning) 3.It’s good for sparse data Disadvantages 1.It requires large amount of online computation 2.It almost does not have any extrapolation capability (forecast is bounded by min & max of the observations) Our Approach(3) - Why GRNN?

g 08-17-2007 W. Yan 14 Final remarks Developing a robust time series forecasting model is a challenging task. Developing an automatic model building process that can be reliably applied to a large number of time series with varying features is even more challenging. When the number of historical data points is small, fusion of multiple simple models seems to work better than a single complex model does Future work Using more GRNNs Optimally determining the tunable parameter, spread, for GRNNs …
