While some sectors recorded positive performances, some recorded negative performances, and these unstable economic performances led to technical recession for the third and fourth quarters of the year 2023. This study assessed the efficacy of the Generalised Additive Model for Location, Scale and Shape (GAMLSS) as a flexible distributional regression with smoothing additive terms in forecasting the UK economic growth in-sample and out-of-sample over the conventional Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Error Correction Model (ECM). The aim was to investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of GAMLSS models using a machine learning framework over the conventional time series econometric models by a rolling window. It is quantitative research which adopts a dataset obtained from the Office for National Statistics, covering 105 monthly observations of major economic indicators in the UK from January 2015 to September 2023. It consists of eleven variables, which include economic growth (Econ), consumer price index (CPI), inflation (Infl), manufacturing (Manuf), electricity and gas (ElGas), construction (Const), industries (Ind), wholesale and retail (WRet), real estate (REst), education (Edu) and health (Health). All computations and graphics in this study are obtained using R software version 4.4.1. The study revealed that GAMLSS models demonstrate superior outperformance in forecast accuracy over the ARDL and ECM models. Unlike other models used in the literature, the GAMLSS models were able to forecast both the future economic growth and the future distribution of the growth, thereby contributing to the empirical literature. The study identified manufacturing, electricity and gas, construction, industries, wholesale and retail, real estate, education, and health as key drivers of UK economic growth.展开更多

This study focuses on forecasting patient health data by comparing the performance of traditional linear time series models, namely Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Seasonal ARIMA, and Moving Average (MA) against neural network architectures. The primary goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of these models in predicting healthcare outcomes using patient records, specifically the Cancerpatient.xlsx dataset, which tracks variables such as patient age, symptoms, genetic risk factors, and environmental exposures over time. The proposed strategy involves training each model on historical patient data to predict age progression and other related health indicators, with performance evaluated using Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) metrics. Our findings reveal that neural networks consistently outperform ARIMA and SARIMA by capturing non-linear patterns and complex temporal dependencies within the dataset, resulting in lower forecasting errors. This research highlights the potential of neural networks to enhance predictive accuracy in healthcare applications, supporting better resource allocation, patient monitoring, and long-term health outcome predictions.展开更多

The question of how much energy will be needed in households is a pressing issue as it allows the management plan of the available resources at the power grids and consumer levels. A non-intrusive inference process can be adopted to predict the amount of energy required by appliances. In this study, an inference process of appliance consumption based on temporal and environmental factors used as a soft sensor is proposed. First, a study of the correlation between the electrical and environmental variables is presented. Then, a resampling process is applied to the initial data set to generate three other subsets of data. All the subsets were evaluated to deduce the adequate granularity for the prediction of the energy demand. Then, a cloud-assisted deep neural network model is designed to forecast short-term energy consumption in a residential area while preserving user privacy. The solution is applied to the consumption data of four appliances elected from a set of real household power data. The experiment results show that the proposed framework is effective for estimating consumption with convincing accuracy.展开更多

Traditional time-series forecasting techniques, despite their widespread application, often encounter difficulties in handling the complexities of oil production data, which is characterized by non-linear patterns, skewed distributions, and the presence of outliers. To overcome these limitations, deep learning methods have emerged as more robust alternatives. However, while deep neural networks offer improved accuracy, they demand substantial amounts of data for effective training. Conversely, shallow networks with fewer layers lack the capacity to model complex data distributions adequately. To address these challenges, this study introduces a novel hybrid model called Transfer LSTM to GRU (TLTG), which combines the strengths of deep and shallow networks using transfer learning. The TLTG model integrates Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) to enhance predictive accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency. Gaussian transformation is applied to the input data to reduce outliers and skewness, creating a more normal-like distribution. The proposed approach is validated on datasets from various wells in the Tahe oil field, China. Experimental results highlight the superior performance of the TLTG model, achieving 100% accuracy and faster prediction times (200 s) compared to eight other approaches, demonstrating its effectiveness and efficiency.展开更多

文摘The UK’s economic growth has witnessed instability over these years. While some sectors recorded positive performances, some recorded negative performances, and these unstable economic performances led to technical recession for the third and fourth quarters of the year 2023.

The aim was to investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of GAMLSS models using a machine learning framework over the conventional time series econometric models by a rolling window. It is quantitative research which adopts a dataset obtained from the Office for National Statistics, covering 105 monthly observations of major economic indicators in the UK from January 2015 to September 2023.

All computations and graphics in this study are obtained using R software version 4.4.1. The study revealed that GAMLSS models demonstrate superior outperformance in forecast accuracy over the ARDL and ECM models. Unlike other models used in the literature, the GAMLSS models were able to forecast both the future economic growth and the future distribution of the growth, thereby contributing to the empirical literature. The study identified manufacturing, electricity and gas, construction, industries, wholesale and retail, real estate, education, and health as key drivers of UK economic growth.
文摘Time series forecasting is essential for generating predictive insights across various domains, including healthcare, finance, and energy. This study focuses on forecasting patient health data by comparing the performance of traditional linear time series models, namely Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Seasonal ARIMA, and Moving Average (MA) against neural network architectures. The primary goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of these models in predicting healthcare outcomes using patient records, specifically the Cancerpatient.xlsx dataset, which tracks variables such as patient age, symptoms, genetic risk factors, and environmental exposures over time. The proposed strategy involves training each model on historical patient data to predict age progression and other related health indicators, with performance evaluated using Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) metrics. Our findings reveal that neural networks consistently outperform ARIMA and SARIMA by capturing non-linear patterns and complex temporal dependencies within the dataset, resulting in lower forecasting errors. This research highlights the potential of neural networks to enhance predictive accuracy in healthcare applications, supporting better resource allocation, patient monitoring, and long-term health outcome predictions.

文摘It is fundamental and useful to investigate how deep learning forecasting models(DLMs)perform compared to operational oceanography forecast systems(OFSs).However,few studies have intercompared their performances using an identical reference.In this study,three physically reasonable DLMs are implemented for the forecasting of the sea surface temperature(SST),sea level anomaly(SLA),and sea surface velocity in the South China Sea.The DLMs are validated against both the testing dataset and the“OceanPredict”Class 4 dataset.Results show that the DLMs'RMSEs against the latter increase by 44%,245%,302%,and 109%for SST,SLA,current speed,and direction,respectively,compared to those against the former.Therefore,different references have significant influences on the validation,and it is necessary to use an identical and independent reference to intercompare the DLMs and OFSs.Against the Class 4 dataset,the DLMs present significantly better performance for SLA than the OFSs,and slightly better performances for other variables.The error patterns of the DLMs and OFSs show a high degree of similarity,which is reasonable from the viewpoint of predictability,facilitating further applications of the DLMs.For extreme events,the DLMs and OFSs both present large but similar forecast errors for SLA and current speed,while the DLMs are likely to give larger errors for SST and current direction.This study provides an evaluation of the forecast skills of commonly used DLMs and provides an example to objectively intercompare different DLMs.
文摘Load forecasting is of great significance to the development of new power systems.With the advancement of smart grids,the integration and distribution of distributed renewable energy sources and power electronics devices have made power load data increasingly complex and volatile.This places higher demands on the prediction and analysis of power loads.In order to improve the prediction accuracy of short-term power load,a CNN-BiLSTMTPA short-term power prediction model based on the Improved Whale Optimization Algorithm(IWOA)with mixed strategies was proposed.Firstly,the model combined the Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)with the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network(BiLSTM)to fully extract the spatio-temporal characteristics of the load data itself.Then,the Temporal Pattern Attention(TPA)mechanism was introduced into the CNN-BiLSTM model to automatically assign corresponding weights to the hidden states of the BiLSTM.This allowed the model to differentiate the importance of load sequences at different time intervals.At the same time,in order to solve the problem of the difficulties of selecting the parameters of the temporal model,and the poor global search ability of the whale algorithm,which is easy to fall into the local optimization,the whale algorithm(IWOA)was optimized by using the hybrid strategy of Tent chaos mapping and Levy flight strategy,so as to better search the parameters of the model.In this experiment,the real load data of a region in Zhejiang was taken as an example to analyze,and the prediction accuracy(R2)of the proposed method reached 98.83%.Compared with the prediction models such as BP,WOA-CNN-BiLSTM,SSA-CNN-BiLSTM,CNN-BiGRU-Attention,etc.,the experimental results showed that the model proposed in this study has a higher prediction accuracy.

文摘Weather forecasts from numerical weather prediction models play a central role in solar energy forecasting,where a cascade of physics-based models is used in a model chain approach to convert forecasts of solar irradiance to solar power production.Ensemble simulations from such weather models aim to quantify uncertainty in the future development of the weather,and can be used to propagate this uncertainty through the model chain to generate probabilistic solar energy predictions.However,ensemble prediction systems are known to exhibit systematic errors,and thus require post-processing to obtain accurate and reliable probabilistic forecasts.The overarching aim of our study is to systematically evaluate different strategies to apply post-processing in model chain approaches with a specific focus on solar energy:not applying any post-processing at all;post-processing only the irradiance predictions before the conversion;post-processing only the solar power predictions obtained from the model chain;or applying post-processing in both steps.In a case study based on a benchmark dataset for the Jacumba solar plant in the U.S.,we develop statistical and machine learning methods for postprocessing ensemble predictions of global horizontal irradiance(GHI)and solar power generation.Further,we propose a neural-network-based model for direct solar power forecasting that bypasses the model chain.Our results indicate that postprocessing substantially improves the solar power generation forecasts,in particular when post-processing is applied to the power predictions.The machine learning methods for post-processing slightly outperform the statistical methods,and the direct forecasting approach performs comparably to the post-processing strategies.
文摘Objectives:This study aimed to assess the equity of nursing human resource allocation in Jiangxi Province,China,and forecast future trends in the next five years.Methods:We used the related data from the China Statistical Yearbook,China Health Statistics Yearbook,and Jiangxi Statistical Yearbook(2003-2022).The equity of nursing human resource allocation was evaluated using Lorenz curves,Gini coefficients,and Theil index,from the perspective of population and geographical area.Demands for nursing human resource in Jiangxi Province from 2023 to 2027 were forecasted using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average(ARIMA)and Grey(1,1)models.Results:From 2003 to 2022,all the key nursing human resource indicators continuously increased;the number of registered nurses in Jiangxi Province increased by 109,786,with an average annual growth rate of 7.80%.Registered nurses per 1,000 population rose by 2.21,while nurses per square kilometer increased by 0.66.Jiangxi Province has surpassed the national level in several nursing resource indicators,including registered nurses as a percentage of health technicians,registered nurses per square kilometer,and doctor-to-nurse ratio.Within the province,all indicators in cities are higher than those in county-level regions.Among the cities in Jiangxi Province,Ganzhou City had the highest number of registered nurses,Xinyu City led in the doctor-to-nurse ratio,and Nanchang City had the highest bed-tonurse ratio.In 2022,the Gini coefficients for registered nurses in Jiangxi Province were 0.09 by population and 0.34 by geographical area,reflecting the allocation of registered nurses in Jiangxi Province is highly equitable by population but relatively equitable by geographical area.Forecasting results suggested that the number of registered nurses in Jiangxi Province will reach 170,100 by 2027,indicating continued growth and improvement in nursing resource allocation.Conclusions:Over the past two decades,the human nursing resources in Jiangxi Province have grown substantially.The absolute fairness of nurse human resources allocation by population highlights significant progress,although regional disparities persist.These findings provide a foundation for optimizing future nursing resource allocation to ensure equitable access to healthcare services.
文摘Time series forecasting is important in the fields of finance,energy,and meteorology,but traditional methods often fail to cope with the complex nonlinear and nonstationary processes of real data.In this paper,we propose the FractalNet-LSTM model,which combines fractal convolutional units with recurrent long short-term memory(LSTM)layers to model time series efficiently.To test the effectiveness of the model,data with complex structures and patterns,in particular,with seasonal and cyclical effects,were used.To better demonstrate the obtained results and the formed conclusions,the model performance was shown on the datasets of electricity consumption,sunspot activity,and Spotify stock price.The result showed that the proposed model outperforms traditional approaches at medium forecasting horizons and demonstrates high accuracy for data with long-term and cyclical dependencies.However,for financial data with high volatility,the model’s efficiency decreases at long forecasting horizons,indicating the need for further adaptation.The findings suggest further adaptation.The findings suggest that integrating fractal properties into neural network architecture improves the accuracy of time series forecasting and can be useful for developing more accurate and reliable forecasting systems in various industries.

文摘In this paper,we introduce TianXing,a transformer-based data-driven model designed with physical augmentation for skillful and efficient global weather forecasting.Previous data-driven transformer models such as Pangu-Weather,FengWu,and FuXi have emerged as promising alternatives for numerical weather prediction in weather forecasting.However,these models have been characterized by their substantial computational resource consumption during training and limited incorporation of explicit physical guidance in their modeling frameworks.In contrast,TianXing applies a linear complexity mechanism that ensures proportional scalability with input data size while significantly diminishing GPU resource demands,with only a marginal compromise in accuracy.Furthermore,TianXing proposes an explicit attention decay mechanism in the linear attention derived from physical insights to enhance its forecasting skill.The mechanism can reweight attention based on Earth's spherical distances and learned sparse multivariate coupling relationships,promptingTianXing to prioritize dynamically relevant neighboring features.Finally,to enhance its performance in mediumrange forecasting,TianXing employs a stacked autoregressive forecast algorithm.Validation of the model's architecture is conducted using ERA5 reanalysis data at a 5.625°latitude-longitude resolution,while a high-resolution dataset at 0.25°is utilized for training the actual forecasting model.Notably,the TianXing exhibits excellent performance,particularly in the Z500(geopotential height)and T850(temperature)fields,surpassing previous data-driven models and operational fullresolution models such as NCEP GFS and ECMWF IFS,as evidenced by latitude-weighted RMSE and ACC metrics.Moreover,the TianXing has demonstrated remarkable capabilities in predicting extreme weather events,such as typhoons.

文摘Wind power forecasting plays a crucial role in optimizing the integration of wind energy into the grid by predicting wind patterns and energy output.This enhances the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy systems.Forecasting approaches inform energy management strategies,reduce reliance on fossil fuels,and support the broader transition to sustainable energy solutions.The primary goal of this study is to introduce an effective methodology for estimating wind power through temporal data analysis.This research advances an optimized Multilayer Perceptron(MLP)model using recently proposedmetaheuristic optimization algorithms,namely the FireHawk Optimizer(FHO)and the Non-Monopolize Search(NO).A modified version of FHO,termed FHONO,is developed by integrating NO as a local search mechanism to enhance the exploration capability and address the shortcomings of the original FHO.The developed FHONO is then employed to optimize the MLP for enhanced wind power prediction.The effectiveness of the proposed FHONO-MLP model is validated using renowned datasets from wind turbines in France.The results of the comparative analysis between FHONO-MLP,conventionalMLP,and other optimized versions of MLP show that FHONO-MLP outperforms the others,achieving an average RootMean Square Error(RMSE)of 0.105,Mean Absolute Error(MAE)of 0.082,and Coefficient of Determination(R^(2))of 0.967 across all datasets.These findings underscore the significant enhancement in predictive accuracy provided by FHONO and demonstrate its effectiveness in improving wind power forecasting.

文摘Studies to enhance the management of electrical energy have gained considerable momentum in recent years. The question of how much energy will be needed in households is a pressing issue as it allows the management plan of the available resources at the power grids and consumer levels. A non-intrusive inference process can be adopted to predict the amount of energy required by appliances. In this study, an inference process of appliance consumption based on temporal and environmental factors used as a soft sensor is proposed. First, a study of the correlation between the electrical and environmental variables is presented. Then, a resampling process is applied to the initial data set to generate three other subsets of data. All the subsets were evaluated to deduce the adequate granularity for the prediction of the energy demand. Then, a cloud-assisted deep neural network model is designed to forecast short-term energy consumption in a residential area while preserving user privacy. The solution is applied to the consumption data of four appliances elected from a set of real household power data. The experiment results show that the proposed framework is effective for estimating consumption with convincing accuracy.
文摘Accurate forecasting of oil production is essential for optimizing resource management and minimizing operational risks in the energy sector. Traditional time-series forecasting techniques, despite their widespread application, often encounter difficulties in handling the complexities of oil production data, which is characterized by non-linear patterns, skewed distributions, and the presence of outliers. To overcome these limitations, deep learning methods have emerged as more robust alternatives. However, while deep neural networks offer improved accuracy, they demand substantial amounts of data for effective training. Conversely, shallow networks with fewer layers lack the capacity to model complex data distributions adequately. To address these challenges, this study introduces a novel hybrid model called Transfer LSTM to GRU (TLTG), which combines the strengths of deep and shallow networks using transfer learning. The TLTG model integrates Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) to enhance predictive accuracy while maintaining computational efficiency. Gaussian transformation is applied to the input data to reduce outliers and skewness, creating a more normal-like distribution. The proposed approach is validated on datasets from various wells in the Tahe oil field, China. Experimental results highlight the superior performance of the TLTG model, achieving 100% accuracy and faster prediction times (200 s) compared to eight other approaches, demonstrating its effectiveness and efficiency.

文摘Marine heatwave(MHW)events refer to periods of significantly elevated sea surface temperatures(SST),persisting from days to months,with significant impacts on marine ecosystems,including increased mortality among marine life and coral bleaching.Forecasting MHW events are crucial to mitigate their harmful effects.This study presents a twostep forecasting process:short-term SST prediction followed by MHW event detection based on the forecasted SST.Firstly,we developed the“SST-MHW-DL”model using the ConvLSTM architecture,which incorporates an attention mechanism to enhance both SST forecasting and MHW event detection.The model utilizes SST data from the preceding 60 d to forecast SST and detect MHW events for the subsequent 15 d.Verification results for SST forecasting demonstrate a root mean square error(RMSE)of 0.64℃,a mean absolute percentage error(MAPE)of 2.05%,and a coefficient of determination(R^(2))of 0.85,indicating the model’s ability to accurately predict future temperatures by leveraging historical sea temperature information.For MHW event detection using forecasted SST,the evaluation metrics of“accuracy”,“precision”,and“recall”achieved values of 0.77,0.73,and 0.43,respectively,demonstrating the model’s capability to capture the occurrence of MHW events accurately.Furthermore,the attention-enhanced mechanism reveals that recent SST variations within the past 10 days have the most significant impact on forecasting accuracy,while variations in deep-sea regions and along the Taiwan Strait significantly contribute to the model’s efficacy in capturing spatial characteristics.Additionally,the proposed model and temporal mechanism were applied to detect MHWs in the Atlantic Ocean.By inputting 30 d of SST data,the model predicted SST with an RMSE of 1.02℃and an R^(2)of 0.94.The accuracy,precision,and recall for MHW detection were 0.79,0.78,and 0.62,respectively,further demonstrating the model’s robustness and usability.

文摘The development of wind power clusters has scaled in terms of both scale and coverage,and the impact of weather fluctuations on cluster output changes has become increasingly complex.Accurately identifying the forward-looking information of key wind farms in a cluster under different weather conditions is an effective method to improve the accuracy of ultrashort-term cluster power forecasting.To this end,this paper proposes a refined modeling method for ultrashort-term wind power cluster forecasting based on a convergent cross-mapping algorithm.From the perspective of causality,key meteorological forecasting factors under different cluster power fluctuation processes were screened,and refined training modeling was performed for different fluctuation processes.First,a wind process description index system and classification model at the wind power cluster level are established to realize the classification of typical fluctuation processes.A meteorological-cluster power causal relationship evaluation model based on the convergent cross-mapping algorithm is pro-posed to screen meteorological forecasting factors under multiple types of typical fluctuation processes.Finally,a refined modeling meth-od for a variety of different typical fluctuation processes is proposed,and the strong causal meteorological forecasting factors of each scenario are used as inputs to realize high-precision modeling and forecasting of ultra-short-term wind cluster power.An example anal-ysis shows that the short-term wind power cluster power forecasting accuracy of the proposed method can reach 88.55%,which is 1.57-7.32%higher than that of traditional methods.

文摘Efficient energy management is a cornerstone of advancing cognitive cities,where AI,IoT,and cloud computing seamlessly integrate to meet escalating global energy demands.Within this context,the ability to forecast electricity consumption with precision is vital,particularly in residential settings where usage patterns are highly variable and complex.This study presents an innovative approach to energy consumption forecasting using a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)network.Leveraging a dataset containing over twomillionmultivariate,time-series observations collected froma single household over nearly four years,ourmodel addresses the limitations of traditional time-series forecasting methods,which often struggle with temporal dependencies and non-linear relationships.The bidirectional LSTM architecture processes data in both forward and backward directions,capturing past and future contexts at each time step,whereas existing unidirectional LSTMs consider only a single temporal direction.This design,combined with dropout regularization,leads to a 20.6%reduction in RMSE and an 18.8%improvement in MAE over conventional unidirectional LSTMs,demonstrating a substantial enhancement in prediction accuracy and robustness.Compared to existing models—including SVM,Random Forest,MLP,ANN,and CNN—the proposed model achieves the lowest MAE of 0.0831 and RMSE of 0.2213 during testing,significantly outperforming these benchmarks.These results highlight the model’s superior ability to navigate the complexities of energy usage patterns,reinforcing its potential application in AI-driven IoT and cloud-enabled energy management systems for cognitive cities.By integrating advanced machine learning techniqueswith IoT and cloud infrastructure,this research contributes to the development of intelligent,sustainable urban environments.

文摘Long-termpetroleum production forecasting is essential for the effective development andmanagement of oilfields.Due to its ability to extract complex patterns,deep learning has gained popularity for production forecasting.However,existing deep learning models frequently overlook the selective utilization of information from other production wells,resulting in suboptimal performance in long-term production forecasting across multiple wells.To achieve accurate long-term petroleum production forecast,we propose a spatial-geological perception graph convolutional neural network(SGP-GCN)that accounts for the temporal,spatial,and geological dependencies inherent in petroleum production.Utilizing the attention mechanism,the SGP-GCN effectively captures intricate correlations within production and geological data,forming the representations of each production well.Based on the spatial distances and geological feature correlations,we construct a spatial-geological matrix as the weight matrix to enable differential utilization of information from other wells.Additionally,a matrix sparsification algorithm based on production clustering(SPC)is also proposed to optimize the weight distribution within the spatial-geological matrix,thereby enhancing long-term forecasting performance.Empirical evaluations have shown that the SGP-GCN outperforms existing deep learning models,such as CNN-LSTM-SA,in long-term petroleum production forecasting.This demonstrates the potential of the SGP-GCN as a valuable tool for long-term petroleum production forecasting across multiple wells.

文摘Forecasting landslide deformation is challenging due to influence of various internal and external factors on the occurrence of systemic and localized heterogeneities.Despite the potential to improve landslide predictability,deep learning has yet to be sufficiently explored for complex deformation patterns associated with landslides and is inherently opaque.Herein,we developed a holistic landslide deformation forecasting method that considers spatiotemporal correlations of landslide deformation by integrating domain knowledge into interpretable deep learning.By spatially capturing the interconnections between multiple deformations from different observation points,our method contributes to the understanding and forecasting of landslide systematic behavior.By integrating specific domain knowledge relevant to each observation point and merging internal properties with external variables,the local heterogeneity is considered in our method,identifying deformation temporal patterns in different landslide zones.Case studies involving reservoir-induced landslides and creeping landslides demonstrated that our approach(1)enhances the accuracy of landslide deformation forecasting,(2)identifies significant contributing factors and their influence on spatiotemporal deformation characteristics,and(3)demonstrates how identifying these factors and patterns facilitates landslide forecasting.Our research offers a promising and pragmatic pathway toward a deeper understanding and forecasting of complex landslide behaviors.

文摘Urban air pollution has brought great troubles to physical and mental health,economic development,environmental protection,and other aspects.Predicting the changes and trends of air pollution can provide a scientific basis for governance and prevention efforts.In this paper,we propose an interval prediction method that considers the spatio-temporal characteristic information of PM_(2.5)signals from multiple stations.K-nearest neighbor(KNN)algorithm interpolates the lost signals in the process of collection,transmission,and storage to ensure the continuity of data.Graph generative network(GGN)is used to process time-series meteorological data with complex structures.The graph U-Nets framework is introduced into the GGN model to enhance its controllability to the graph generation process,which is beneficial to improve the efficiency and robustness of the model.In addition,sparse Bayesian regression is incorporated to improve the dimensional disaster defect of traditional kernel density estimation(KDE)interval prediction.With the support of sparse strategy,sparse Bayesian regression kernel density estimation(SBR-KDE)is very efficient in processing high-dimensional large-scale data.The PM_(2.5)data of spring,summer,autumn,and winter from 34 air quality monitoring sites in Beijing verified the accuracy,generalization,and superiority of the proposed model in interval prediction.

文摘Accurate multi-step PM_(2.5)(particulate matter with diameters≤2.5 um)concentration prediction is critical for humankinds’health and air populationmanagement because it could provide strong evidence for decisionmaking.However,it is very challenging due to its randomness and variability.This paper proposed a novel method based on convolutional neural network(CNN)and long-short-term memory(LSTM)with a space-shared mechanism,named space-shared CNN-LSTM(SCNN-LSTM)for multi-site dailyahead multi-step PM_(2.5)forecasting with self-historical series.The proposed SCNN-LSTM contains multi-channel inputs,each channel corresponding to one-site historical PM_(2.5)concentration series.In which,CNN and LSTM are used to extract each site’s rich hidden feature representations in a stack mode.Especially,CNN is to extract the hidden short-time gap PM_(2.5)concentration patterns;LSTM is to mine the hidden features with long-time dependency.Each channel extracted features aremerged as the comprehensive features for future multi-step PM_(2.5)concentration forecasting.Besides,the space-shared mechanism is implemented by multi-loss functions to achieve space information sharing.Therefore,the final features are the fusion of short-time gap,long-time dependency,and space information,which enables forecasting more accurately.To validate the proposed method’s effectiveness,the authors designed,trained,and compared it with various leading methods in terms of RMSE,MAE,MAPE,and R^(2)on four real-word PM_(2.5)data sets in Seoul,South Korea.The massive experiments proved that the proposed method could accurately forecast multi-site multi-step PM_(2.5)concentration only using self-historical PM_(2.5)concentration time series and running once.Specifically,the proposed method obtained averaged RMSE of 8.05,MAE of 5.04,MAPE of 23.96%,and R^(2)of 0.7 for four-site daily ahead 10-hourPM_(2.5)concentration forecasting.
