Optimization of Markov Weighted Fuzzy Time Series Forecasting Using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)

The Markov Weighted Fuzzy Time Series (MWFTS) is a method for making predictions based on developing a fuzzy time series (FTS) algorithm. The MWTS has overcome certain limitations of FTS, such as repetition of fuzzy logic relationships and weight considerations of fuzzy logic relationships. The main challenge of the MWFTS method is the absence of standardized rules for determining partition intervals. This study compares the MWFTS model to the partition methods Genetic Algorithm-Fuzzy K-Medoids clustering (GA-FKM) and Fuzzy K-Medoids clustering-Particle Swarm Optimization (FKM-PSO) to solve the problem of determining the partition interval and develop an algorithm. Optimal partition optimization. The GA optimization algorithm’s performance on GA-FKM depends on optimizing the clustering of FKM to obtain the most significant partition interval. Implementing the PSO optimization algorithm on FKM-PSO involves maximizing the interval length following the FKM procedure. The proposed method was applied to Anand Vihar, India’s air quality data. The MWFTS method combined with the GA-FKM partitioning method reduced the mean absolute square error (MAPE) from 17.440 to 16.85%. While the results of forecasting using the MWFTS method in conjunction with the FKM-PSO partition method were able to reduce the MAPE percentage from 9.78% to 7.58%, the MAPE percentage was still 9.78%. Initially, the root mean square error (RMSE) score for the GA-FKM partitioning technique was 48,179 to 47,01. After applying the FKM-PSO method, the initial RMSE score of 30,638 was reduced to 24,863.
