Abstract

In this paper, a fuzzy forecasting technique for seasonality in the time-series data is presented using the following procedure. First, with the fuzzy regression analysis the fuzzy trend of a time-series is analyzed. Then the fuzzy seasonality is defined by realizing the membership grades of the seasons to the fuzzy regression model. Both making fuzzy forecast and crisp forecast are investigated. Seasonal fuzziness and trends are analyzed. The method is applied to the sales forecasting problem of a food distribution company.

      Moreover, they verified that it is highly applicable to the prediction of seasonal time series. In addition, seasonal indexes were constructed to deal with seasonal fluctuations and the methods for prediction with the mixed model established by combining with other models are popular [46–48]. An et al. [49] adopted a signal filtering method based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and seasonal adjustment to process power demand series with seasonality.

      Watada [292, 293] proposes fuzzy time series models by using the concept of intersection of fuzzy numbers. Chang [294] discusses a fuzzy forecasting method for seasonality in time series data based on fuzzy regression models. Tseng et al. [67] use a fuzzy piecewise regression approach for the prediction of non-linear time series (see Section 4.1.5), and Tseng and Tzeng [295] combine seasonal ARIMA models with fuzzy regression models to develop fuzzy seasonal ARIMA models.

      They also suggested from the results that the poor selection of parameter settings in BPNN model can lead to slow convergence and/or incorrect output. To tackle the uncertainty in seasonality, Chang (1997) presented a fuzzy forecasting technique for the seasonality in time series food sales. He analyzed both seasonal and trend fuzziness in his study.

      Fuzzy regression analysis is an extension of the classical regression analysis in which some elements of the model are represented by fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy regression methods have been successfully applied to various problems such as forecasting [6,7,34,17,35] and engineering [15]. Thus, it is very important to develop numerical procedures that can appropriately treat fuzzy regression models.

      A number of investigations have proposed different FR methods (e.g., see [3,5,7–9,17,18,38,41,47,64,75,76,84], among others). One that stands out is the study of Chang [6], who has proposed seasonal fuzzy regression. Here, fuzzy seasonality is defined by realizing the membership grades of the seasons to the fuzzy regression model.
