Adaptive Estimation of Autoregressive Models Under Long-Tailed Symmetric Distribution
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2019) Yengür, Begüm; Bayrak, Özlem Türker; Dener Akkaya, Ayşen; 56416
In this paper, we consider the autoregressive models where the error term is non-normal; specifically belongs to a long-tailed symmetric distribution family since it is more relevant in practice than the normal distribution. It is known that least squares (LS) estimators are neither efficient nor robust under non-normality and maximum likelihood (ML) estimators cannot be obtained explicitly and require a numerical solution which might be problematic. In recent years, modified maximum likelihood (MML) estimation is developed to overcome these difficulties. However, this method requires that the shape parameter is known which is not realistic in machine data processing. Therefore, we use adaptive modified maximum likelihood (AMML) technique which combines MML with Huber’s estimation procedure so that the shape parameter is also estimated. After derivation of the AMML estimators, their efficiency and robustness properties are discussed through a simulation study and compared with MML and LS estimators.
Classification Models Based On Tanaka's Fuzzy Linear Regression Approach: the Case of Customer Satisfaction Modeling
(IOS Press, 2010) Bayrak, Özlem Türker; 56416
Fuzzy linear regression (FLR) approaches are widely used for modeling relations between variables that involve human judgments, qualitative and imprecise data. Tanaka's FLR analysis is the first one developed and widely used for this purpose. However, this method is not appropriate for classification problems, because it can only handle continuous type dependent variables rather than categorical. In this study, we propose three alternative approaches for building classification models, for a customer satisfaction survey data, based on Tanaka's FLR approach. In these models, we aim to reflect both random and fuzzy types of uncertainties in the data in different ways, and compare their performances using several classification performance measures. Thus, this study contributes to the field of fuzzy classification by developing Tanaka based classification models.
Electricity Price Modelling for Turkey
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2012) Yıldırım, Miray Hanım; Bayrak, Özlem Türker; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Özmen, Ayşe; 56416
This paper presents customized models to predict next-day's electricity price in short-term periods for Turkey's electricity market. Turkey's electricity market is evolving from a centralized approach to a competitive market. Fluctuations in the electricity consumption show that there are three periods; day, peak, and night. The approach proposed here is based on robust and continuous optimization techniques, which ensures achieving the optimum electricity price to minimize error in periodic price prediction. Commonly, next-day's electricity prices are forecasted by using time series models, specifically dynamic regression model. Therefore electricity price prediction performance was compared with dynamic regression. Numerical results show that CMARS and RCMARS predicts the prices with 30% less error compared to dynamic regression.
