Since its birth in 1993, fuzzy time series have seen different classes of models designed and applied, such as fuzzy logic relation and rule-based models. These models have both advantages and disadvantages. The major drawbacks with these two classes of models are the difficulties encountered in identification and analysis of the model. Therefore, there is a strong need to explore new alternatives and this is the objective of this paper. By transforming a fuzzy number to a real number via integrating the inverse of the membership function, new autoregressive models can be developed to fit the observation values of a fuzzy time series. With the new models, the issues of model identification and parameter estimation can be addressed; and trends, seasonalities and multivariate fuzzy time series could also be modeled with ease. In addition, asymptotic behaviors of fuzzy time series can be inspected by means of characteristic equations.

Stochastic model has been widely used for the forecasting of time series. However, this study tries to perform the precipitation forecasting by fuzzy time series model using fuzzy concept. The published fuzzy based models are used for the forecasting of time series and also we suggest that the combination of fuzzy time series models and neuro-fuzzy system can increase the forecastibility of the models. The precipitation time series in illinois, USA is analyzed for the forecasting by the known fuzzy time series models and the suggested methodology in this study. As a result, we know that the suggested methodology shows more exact results than the known models.

Recently, a homogeneous fuzzy time series model was proposed by means of defining some new operations on fuzzy numbers. In this paper, we consider expanding the results to the nonhomogeneous fuzzy time series and the general fuzzy time series using Tw, the weakest t-norm, based algebraic fuzzy operations.

Fuzzy regression is used as a complement or an alternative to represent the relation between variables among the forecasting models especially when the data is insufficient to evaluate the relation. Such phenomenon often occurs in seasonal time series data which require large amount of data to describe the underlying pattern. Semiparametric model is useful tool in the case where domain knowledge exists about the function to be estimated or emphasis is put onto understandability of the model. In this paper we propose fuzzy semiparametric support vector regression so that it can provide good performance on forecasting of the seasonal time series by incorporating into fuzzy support vector regression the basis functions which indicate the seasonal variation of time series. In order to indicate the performance of this method, we present two examples of predicting the seasonal time series. Experimental results show that the proposed method is very attractive for the seasonal time series in fuzzy environments.

This paper proposes a time series prediction method for the nonllinear system using the fuzzy system and its genetic algorithm, At first, we obtain the optimal fuzzy membership function using the genetic algorithm. With the optimal fuzzy rules and its input differences, a better time prediction series system may be obtained. We obtain a good result for the time prediction of the electric load.

This paper presents a time series prediction method using a fuzzy rule-based system. Extracting fuzzy rules by performing a simple one-pass operation on the training data is quite attractive because it is easy to understand, verify, and extend. The simplest method is probably to relate an estimate, x(n+k), with past data such as x(n), x(n-1), ..x(n-m), where k and m are prefixed positive integers. The relation is represented by fuzzy if-then rules, where the past data stand for premise part and the predicted value for consequence part. However, a serious problem of the method is that it cannot handle nonstationary data whose long-term mean is varying. To cope with this, a new training method is proposed, which utilizes the difference of consecutive data in a time series. In this paper, typical previous works relating time series prediction are briefly surveyed and a new method is proposed to overcome the difficulty of prediction nonstationary data. Finally, computer simulations are illustrated to show the improved results for various time series.

Sunspots are dark areas that grow and decay on the lowest level of the sun that is visible from the Earth. Shot-term predictions of solar activity are essential to help plan missions and to design satellites that will survive for their useful lifetimes. This paper presents a parallel-structure fuzzy system(PSFS) for prediction of sunspot number time series. The PSFS consists of a multiple number of component fuzzy systems connected in parallel. Each component fuzzy system in the PSFS predicts future data independently based on its past time series data with different embedding dimension and time delay. An embedding dimension determines the number of inputs of each component fuzzy system and a time delay decides the interval of inputs of the time series. According to the embedding dimension and the time delay, the component fuzzy system takes various input-output pairs. The PSFS determines the final predicted value as an average of all the outputs of the component fuzzy systems in order to reduce error accumulation effect.

In this paper, we present the modeling of time series data which are corrupted by noise via nonsingleton fuzzy logic system. Nonsingleton fuzzy logic system (NFLS) is useful in cases where the available data are corrupted by noise. NFLS is a fuzzy system whose inputs are modeled as fuzzy number. The abilities of NFLS to approximate arbitrary functions, and to effectively deal with noise and uncertainty, are used to analyze corrupted time series data. In the simulation results, we compare the results of the NFLS approach with the results of using only a traditional fuzzy logic system.

The turbulent flow is of fundamental interest because the conservation equations for thermodynamics, mass and momentum are linked together. This turbulent flow consists of some coherent time- and space-organized vortical structures. Research has already shown that some dynamic systems and experimental models still cannot provide a good nonlinear analysis of turbulent time series. In the real turbulent flow, very complicated nonlinear behaviors, which are affected by many vague factors are present. In this paper, a kernel-based machine for fuzzy nonlinear regression analysis is proposed to predict the nonlinear time series of turbulent flows. In order to show the practicality and usefulness of this model, we present an example of predicting the near-wall turbulence time series as a verifiable model and compare with fuzzy piecewise regression. The results of practical applications show that the proposed method is appropriate and appears to be useful in nonlinear analysis and in fuzzy environments to predict the turbulence time series.
