Traditional time series forecasting models are difficult to capture the nonlinear patterns. Support vector regression (SVR) has been successfully used to solve nonlinear regression and times series problems. However, parameters determination for a SVR model is competent to the forecasting...

Support vector machines (SVMs) have been successfully employed to solve non-linear regression and time series problems. However, SVMs have rarely been applied to forecasting software reliability. This investigation elucidates the feasibility of the use of SVMs to forecast software reliability....

With a global revenue of over 40 billion US dollars and predicted astronomic growth, the movie industry remains a viable economic sector. It becomes imperative for media professionals to come up with more proficient ways of scheduling movies, and predicting performance of movies, so as to...

We consider the basic problem of refi tting a time series over a finite period of time and formulate it as a stochastic dynamic program. By changing the underlying Markov decision process we are able to obtain a model that at optimality considers historical data as well as forecasts of future...
