Modeling time series by aggregating multiple fuzzy cognitive maps.
2021
Background The real time series is affected by various combinations of influences, consequently, it has a variety of variation modality. It is hard to reflect the variation characteristic of the time series accurately when simulating time series only by a single model. Most of the existing methods focused on numerical prediction of time series. Also, the forecast uncertainty of time series is resolved by the interval prediction. However, few researches focus on making the model interpretable and easily comprehended by humans. Methods To overcome this limitation, a new prediction modelling methodology based on fuzzy cognitive maps is proposed. The bootstrap method is adopted to select multiple sub-sequences at first. As a result, the variation modality are contained in these sub-sequences. Then, the fuzzy cognitive maps are constructed in terms of these sub-sequences, respectively. Furthermore, these fuzzy cognitive maps models are merged by means of granular computing. The established model not only performs well in numerical and interval predictions but also has better interpretability. Results Experimental studies involving both synthetic and real-life datasets demonstrate the usefulness and satisfactory efficiency of the proposed approach.
