Abstract

Abstract : As a tool for analyzing time series, grey prediction models have been widely used in various fields of society due to their higher prediction accuracy and the advantages of small sample modeling. The basic GM (1, N ) model is the most popular and important grey model, in which the first "1" stands for the "first order" and the second " N " represents the "multivariate." The construction of the background values is not only an important step in grey modeling but also the key factor that affects the prediction accuracy of the grey prediction models. In order to further improve the prediction accuracy of the multivariate grey prediction models, this paper establishes a novel multivariate grey prediction model based on dynamic background values (abbreviated as DBGM (1, N ) model) and uses the whale optimization algorithm to solve the optimal parameters of the model. The DBGM (1, N) model can adapt to different time series by changing parameters to achieve the purpose of improving prediction accuracy. It is a grey prediction model with extremely strong adaptability. Finally, four cases are used to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the model. The results show that the proposed model significantly outperforms the other 2 multivariate grey prediction models.
