Predicio is a form of daa aalysis ha ca be used o exrac models describig impora daa classes or o predic fuure daa reds. Such aalysis ca help provide us wih a beer udersadig of he daa a large. Predicio ca also be viewed as a mappig or fucio, y = f (X), where X is he ipu (e.g., a uple describig a loa applica), ad he oupu y is a coiuous or ordered value (such as he prediced amou ha he bak ca safely loa he applica); Tha is, we wish o lear a mappig or fucio ha models he relaioship bewee X ad y. There are wo issues regardig predicio: firs is preparig he daa for predicio which ivolves he preprocessig seps like daa cleaig, relevace aalysis, daa rasformaio ad daa reducio, secod issue is comparig he differe predicio models.

2 Performace Compariso of Time Series Daa Usig Predicive Daa Miig Techiques Accuracy: The accuracy of a predicor refers o how well a give predicor ca guess he value of he prediced aribue for ew or previously usee daa. Speed: This refers o he compuaioal coss ivolved i geeraig ad usig he give predicor. Robusess: This is he abiliy of he predicor o make correc predicios give oisy daa or daa wih missig values. Scalabiliy: This refers o he abiliy o cosruc he predicor efficiely give large amous of daa. Ierpreabiliy: This refers o he level of udersadig ad isigh ha is provided by he predicor. Alhough accuracy, speed, robusess, scalabiliy ad ierpreabiliy are he various facors for comparig he predicio models, bu i his paper he predicio models are compared o he basis of heir accuracy. Measures like ME, MAE, MSE, RMSE, MPE ad MAPE are used o compare he performace of predicive models [18]. Predicive daa-miig ools are desiged o help us udersad wha he useful iformaio looks like ad wha has happeed durig pas procedures. Therefore, he ools use he descripio of he useful iformaio o fid similar examples of hidde iformaio i he daabase ad use he iformaio leared from he pas o develop a predicive model of wha will happe i he fuure. Differe predicive models are aalyzed ad he bes model is chose for predicig he daa. [Fig-1] below shows ha he bes model is chose amog differe sized models o ge required soluio. Fig. 1- Fid he bes model amog predicive model[17] Predicive Time Series Models A Time Series is a ime-orieed or chroological sequece of observaios o a variable of ieres. Time series aalysis is he process of usig saisical echiques o model ad explai a imedepede series of daa pois. Time series forecasig is he process of usig a model o geerae predicios (forecass) for fuure eves based o kow pas eves. Time series daa has a aural emporal orderig - his differs from ypical daa miig/ machie learig applicaios where each daa poi is a idepede example of he cocep o be leared, ad he orderig of daa pois wihi a daa se does o maer. Time series predicio proposes algorihms for which pas daa (maily fiie observaio sequeces of daa pois relaed o uiform ime ierval) are used o geerae models o forecas fuure daa pois of he series [1-3,11,12]. There are oly wo broad ypes of forecasig echiques- Qualiaive mehods ad Quaiaive mehods. Qualiaive forecasig echiques are ofe subjecive i aure ad require judgme o he par of expers. Quaiaive forecasig echiques make formal use of hisorical daa ad a forecasig model. I his aalysis, four models amely Muliple Liear Regressio i Excel, Muliple Liear Regressio of Dedicaed Time Series Aalysis i Weka, Vecor Auoregressive Model i R ad Neural Nework Model usig NeuralWorks Predic is aalyzed. Muliple Liear Regressio i Excel Regressio models make use of relaioships bewee he variable of ieres ad oe or more relaed predicor variables. Someimes regressio models are called causal forecasig models, because he predicor variables are assumed o describe he forces ha cause or drive he observed values of he variable of ieres. Regressio aalysis is a saisical echique for modelig ad ivesigaig he relaioships bewee a oucome or respose variable ad oe or more predicor or regressor variables. The ed resul of a regressio aalysis sudy is ofe o geerae a model ha ca be used o forecas or predic fuure values of he respose variable give specified values of he predicor variables. The Muliple Liear Regressio Model is 2 y β β x β (1) 0 1 1x The parameers β0, β1 β2 i his model are ofe called parial regressio coefficies because hey covey iformaio abou he effec o y of he predicor ha hey muliply give ha all of he oher predicors i he model do o chage. The regressio models i [Eq-1] is liear regressio models because hey are liear i he ukow parameers (he β's), ad o because hey ecessarily describe liear relaioships bewee he respose ad he regressors. Muliple Liear Regressio of Dedicaed Time Series Aalysis i Weka WEKA, formally called Waikao Evirome for Kowledge Learig, is a compuer program ha was developed a he Uiversiy of Waikao i New Zealad for he purpose of ideifyig iformaio from raw daa gahered from agriculural domais. WEKA suppors may differe sadard daa miig asks such as daa preprocessig, classificaio, cluserig, regressio, visualizaio ad feaure selecio. Weka (>= 3.7.3) ow has a dedicaed ime series aalysis evirome ha allows forecasig models o be developed, evaluaed ad visualized. This evirome akes he form of a plugi ab i Weka's graphical "Explorer" user ierface ad ca be isalled via he package maager. Weka's ime series framework akes a machie learig/daa miig approach o modelig ime series by rasformig he daa io a form ha sadard proposiioal learig algorihms ca process. I does his by removig he emporal orderig of idividual ipu examples by ecodig he ime depedecy via addiioal ipu fields. These fields are someimes referred o as "lagged" variables. Various oher fields are also compued auomaically o allow he algorihms o model reds ad seasoaliy. Afer he daa has bee rasformed, ay of Weka's regressio algorihms ca be applied o lear a model. A obvious choice is o apply muliple liear regressio, bu ay mehod capable of predicig a coiuous arge ca be applied - icludig powerful o-liear mehods such as suppor vecor machies for regressio ad model rees.

Vecor Auoregressive Model i R VAR aalysis has evolved as a sadard isrume i ecoomerics for aalyzig mulivariae ime series. A VAR cosiss of a se of K edogeous variables y = (y1, yk,.. yk) for k = 1,... K. The VAR (p)-process is he defied as: y A1 y 1... Ap y p u (2) wih Ai are (K K) coefficie marices for i = 1,..., p ad u is a K- dimesioal whie oise process wih ime ivaria posiive defiie covariace marix E (uu ) = u. [Eq-2] is someimes wrie i he form of a lag polyomial A( L) ( lk A1... Ap ) as A( L) y CD u (3) where he marix C is he coefficie marix of poeially deermiisic regressors wih dimesio (K M), ad D is a (M 1) colum vecor holdig he appropriae deermiisic regressors, such as a cosa, red, ad dummy ad/or seasoal dummy variables Oe impora characerisic of a VAR (p)-process is is sabiliy. The sabiliy of a empirical VAR(p)-process ca be aalyzed by cosiderig he compaio form ad calculaig he eigevalues of he coefficie marix. If he moduli of he eigevalues of A are less ha oe, he he VAR (p)-process is sable. The iformaio crieria are implemeed i he fucios VAR () ad VARselec () coaied i he package vars. I he former fucio, a appropriae VAR (p)-model will be esimaed by providig he maximal lag umber, lag.max, ad he desired crierio. The calculaios are based upo he same sample size. Tha is, lag.max values are used as sarig values for each of he esimaed models. The resul of he fucio VARselec () is a lis objec wih elemes selecio ad crieria. The eleme selecio is a vecor of opimal lag legh accordig o he above-meioed iformaio crieria. The eleme crieria is a marix coaiig he paricular values for each of hese crieria up o he maximal lag order chose. Neural Nework Model usig NeuralWorks Predic Arificial eural eworks were ispired i large par by research io he fucio of euros i he huma brai. Arificial eural eworks process iformaio i a way ha resembles he way he brai works. Like he brai, eural eworks lear from experiece durig a process called raiig. We ca use eural eworks whe ukow relaioships exis i hisorical daa. A hisorical daase cosiss of recorded ipu values ad heir correspodig oupu values. Neural eworks ca deec paers i daa, geeralize abou relaioships i daa, ad geerae a oupu value whe give a ew se of ipu values from he problem domai. Aalyss who lack exesive domai kowledge ca use eural eworks o solve problems ha prove oo complex for more coveioal aalyical echiques. How a Neural Nework Lears The huma brai is a very complex sysem of iercoeced euros. Similarly, a eural ework is a iercoeced sysem of arificial euros. I eural ework ermiology, euros are called Processig Elemes or odes. Like a euro i he brai, each Processig Eleme (PE) ca accep ipu daa, process he daa, ad pass i o he ex PE. A PE processes daa usig oe of several ypes of mahemaical fucios. I effec a eire eural ework represes a composie of he fucios represeed by all PEs. The key o buildig a robus eural ework is o collec may examples (or records) of ipu values ad correspodig oupu values over ime. The eural ework uses his hisorical daa o deermie (lear) a mahemaical relaioship bewee he ipu daa ad he oupu daa. Nework Archiecure I a eural ework, PEs ca be iercoeced i various ways. Typically, PEs are srucured io layers ad he oupu values of PEs i oe layer serve as ipu values for PEs i he ex layer. Each coecio has a weigh associaed wih i. I mos cases, a Processig Eleme calculaes a weighed sum of icomig values (he sum he oupus of he PEs coeced from he ex lower level muliplied by heir coecio weighs). This sum is called he acivaio value. The acivaio value is he passed o he PE s o-liear rasfer fucio o produce a oupu for ha PE. This combiaio of PEs, coecios, weighs, ad rasfer fucios form he ework archiecure. This archiecure he represes a complex mahemaical formula ha has bee derived from hisorical daa. Traiig a Neural Nework Neural eworks lear from experiece (exposure o iformaio). From repeaed exposure o hisorical daa, a eural ework lears o sreghe coecio weighs from PEs ha have a greaer edecy o accuraely predic he desired oupu. The sregh of each coecio (he magiude of he coecio weigh) icreases or decreases based o is ifluece i producig he oupu associaed wih each ipu daa record i he hisorical daase. Coecio weighs are adjused durig raiig. Traiig is he process of repeaedly (ieraively) exposig a eural ework o examples of hisorical daa. Each example coais ipu variables, ad he associaed desired oupu. The desired oupu is he value ha he eural ework should predic, give he associaed ipu values i he hisorical daa. I eural ework ermiology, he desired oupu is called he arge value. Durig raiig, ework weighs are adjused accordig o a learig rulea algorihm ha specifies how he error bewee prediced oupus ad arge values should be used o modify ework weighs. Before raiig begis, a simple ework wih he ecessary umber of ipu ad oupu PEs is creaed. All coecio weighs are iiialized o small radom values. Daa examples from he raiig se are passed o he ework ad he ework produces a oupu value. This value is compared o he arge value. The weighs are adjused i order o decrease he error bewee he ework oupu ad he arge value. I addiio, more processig elemes are added o he ework if doig so helps decrease he error of he ework. Traiig coiues uil he eural ework produces oupu values ha mach he arge values wihi a specified accuracy level, or uil some oher soppig crierio is saisfied.

4 Performace Compariso of Time Series Daa Usig Predicive Daa Miig Techiques resuls are good if he prediced values are close o he arge values. Oe difficuly for eural eworks (ad oher o-liear esimaio echiques) is he possibiliy ha he ework will over-fi he raiig daa. This meas ha he ework migh closely predic he arge values o he raiig daa bu produce iferior resuls for ew daa. Traiig for oo log (oo may passes hrough he raiig se) ca cause he fucio o become very complex i order o produce he arge values a he expese of geeralizig well o usee daa. However, if a ework is o raied log eough, i does fully lear reds ad relaioships i he daa. Oe way of kowig whe o sop raiig is o auomaically ad periodically es he performace o a es se durig raiig. Whe he performace sars o degrade o he es se, i's ime o sop raiig-he eural ework has sared o lear relaioships which are specific o oly he raiig se! A he ed of raiig, he eural ework ca be furher esed o a addiioal idepede es se referred o as a validaio se. Usig a Neural Nework Afer he eural ework has bee raied, i ca be used o make predicios give ipu daa for which he desired oupu value is ukow. NeuralWorks Predic NeuralWorks Predic is a complee applicaio developme evirome for creaig ad deployig real-ime applicaios for forecasig, modelig, classificaio ad cluserig or groupig. This powerful sysem combies eural ework echology wih fuzzy logic, saisics ad geeic algorihms o fid soluios o forecasig, modelig ad classificaio problems auomaically. Key feaures of NeuralWorks Predic are: NeuralWorks Predic Udersads Daa: NeuralWorks Predic kows how o rasform daa io forms ha maximize he power of eural ework echiques. This saves ime ad also resuls i beer performace. NeuralWorks Predic Applies he Rigors of Saisics o Model he Real World: The algorihms used i NeuralWorks Predic are grouded i saisics. Key coceps such as ridge regressio, maximum likelihood ad cross-validaio are seamlessly iegraed wih eural echiques. NeuralWorks Predic models are saisically based eural models.

Empirical Resuls Daases Time Series Daa Miig mehods are applied o fiacial ime series for calculaig currecy exchage raes of US dollars o Idia Rupees. Mohly daa is colleced for he las 10 years from 2000 o 2010, for predicig exchage raes of The origial rae of 2011 is available ad he compared wih he prediced values for calculaig he accuracy of he models. The muliple variables used o which exchage rae depeds are CPI, Trade Balace (i millio US dollars), GDP, Uemployme ad Moeary Base (i billio dollars). The daa for all he variables is colleced from various fiacial sies like radigecoomics, ychars, cesus.gov ec. The explaaio of he variables is: CPI: Cosumer Price Idex (CPI) daa measures iflaio i a ecoomy. Whe iflaio ges oo high i a coury, he Ceral bak may icrease ieres raes i order o esure price sabiliy. This may cause he currecy o rise i value as he addiioal ieres received makes he currecy more desirable. Trade Balace: A coury's balace of rade is he oal value of is expors, mius he oal value of is impors. If his umber is posiive, he coury is said o have a favorable balace of rade. If he differece is egaive, he coury has a rade gap, or rade defici. GDP: Gross Domesic Produc is a measure of he overall ecoomic oupu wihi a coury s borders over a paricular ime, ypically a year. GDP is calculaed by addig ogeher he oal value of aual oupu of all ha coury s goods ad services. GDP ca also be measured by icome by cosiderig he facors producig he oupu-he capial ad labor-or by expediure by goverme, idividuals, ad busiess o ha oupu Uemployme: Employme levels have a immediae impac o ecoomic growh.

Oe ca subrac he forecas value from he observed value of he daa a ha ime poi ad obai a measure of error. To evaluae he amou of his forecas error, he researcher may employ he mea error or he mea absolue error. Le A is he acual daa ad F represes he forecas ad deoes he umber of forecass made. The he mea error (ME) is merely he average error. ME ( 1 ) 1 (A F ) The mea absolue error (MAE) or mea absolue deviaio (MAD) is calculaed by akig he absolue value of he differece bewee he esimaed forecas ad he acual value a he same ime so ha he egaive values do o cacel he posiive values. The average of hese absolue values is ake o obai he mea absolue error. ( 1 MAE ) (A F ) 1 The mea squared error (MSE) measure he variabiliy i forecas errors. Obviously, he variabiliy i forecas errors mus be small. ME, MAE ad MSE are all scale depede measures of forecas accuracy, ha is, heir values are expressed i erms of he origial uis of measureme. MSE ( 1 ) 1 The roo mea square error (RMSE) measures he average magiude of he error. I i, he differece bewee forecas ad correspodig observed values are each squared ad he averaged over he sample. Fially, he square roo of he average is ake. Sice he errors are squared before hey are averaged, he RMSE gives a relaively high weigh o large errors. This meas he RMSE is mos useful whe large errors are paricularly udesirable. The perceage error (MPE) is he proporio of error a a paricular poi of ime i he series. The average perceage error i he eire series is a geeral measure of fi useful i comparig he fis of differe models. This measure adds up all of he perceage errors a each ime poi ad divides hem by he umber of ime pois. (A F ) ( 100% MPE ) A Because he posiive ad egaive errors may ed o cacel hemselves, MPE saisic is ofe replaced by he mea absolue perceage error (MAPE). MAPE is he more objecive saisic idicaor because he measure is i relaive perceage ad will o be affeced by he ui of he forecasig series.

Followig observaios are made from he performace measures: I is usually bes o repor he roo mea squared error (RMSE) raher ha mea squared error (MSE), because he RMSE is measured i he same uis as he daa, raher ha i squared uis, ad is represeaive of he size of a "ypical" error. The mea absolue error (MAE) is also measured i he same uis as he origial daa, ad is usually similar i magiude o, bu slighly smaller ha, he roo mea squared error. The mahemaically challeged usually fid his a easier saisic o udersad ha he RMSE. The mea absolue perceage error (MAPE) is also ofe useful for purposes of reporig, because i is expressed i geeric perceage erms which will make some kid of sese eve o someoe who has o idea wha cosiues a "big" error i erms of dollars spe or widges sold. The MAPE ca oly be compued wih respec o daa ha are guaraeed o be sricly posiive. The mea error (ME) ad mea perceage error (MPE) ha are repored i some saisical procedures are siged measures of error which idicae wheher he forecass are biased--i.e., wheher hey ed o be disproporioaely posiive or egaive. Bias is ormally cosidered a bad hig, bu i is o he boom lie. Bias is oe compoe of he mea squared error--i fac mea squared error equals he variace of he errors plus he square of he mea error. Tha is: MSE = VAR (E) + (ME) ^ 2. The roo mea squared error is more sesiive ha oher measures o he occasioal large error: he squarig process gives disproporioae weigh o very large errors. If a occasioal large error is o a problem i decisio siuaio, he he MAE or MAPE may be a more releva crierio. I may cases hese saisics will vary i uiso--he model ha is bes o oe of hem will also be beer o he ohers--bu his may o be he case whe he error disribuio has "ouliers." If oe model's RMSE is 30% lower ha aoher's, ha is probably very sigifica. If i is 10% lower, ha is probably somewha sigifica. If i is oly 2% beer, ha is probably o sigifica. These disicios are especially impora whe we are radig off model complexiy agais he error measures: i is probably o worh addig aoher idepede variable o a regressio model o decrease he RMSE by oly a few more perce.
