4 Introduction Motivation In Brazil, the peak of wind power production in the Northeast coincides with the dry season of the hydro system in the Southeast (Seasonal complementarity). This complementarity between the hydro and wind power systems can be exploited for optimal power generation planning and energy dispatch. In practice this would entail the need of jointly forecasting/simulating time series of wind and hydro ow. Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 4 / 53

9 Objectives To model streamow and wind power processes, we developed univariate GAS models with predictive gamma and beta densities, respectively. GAS structures for the univariate cases: SARIMA and unobserved components. Univariate models were used to construct a bivariate GAS model, with marginal gamma and beta distributions. The Bivariate GAS model implies negative correlated variables which captures the observed seasonal complementarity between the two series. Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 9 / 53

10 Notation y t : variable of interest. f t : time-varying vector. x t : vector of exogenous variables. θ: vector of static parameters. Y t = (y 1, y 2,..., y t ), F t = (f 0, f 1,..., f t ) and X t = (x 1, x 2,..., x t ). The available information at t is given by {f t, Ϝ t }, where Ϝ t = {Y t 1, F t 1, X t }, t = 1, 2,..., n. Assume that y t is generated by y t p(y t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) t and s t are the score vector and the weighted score, respectively. Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 10 / 53

12 Gamma Model - SARIMA structure for parameter evolution Consider y 1t = λ tu t, u t s Gamma(α, α 1 ) iid. Multiplicative error model (MEM): f t = λ t. An appropriate link function is given by: [ r ] f t = φ k g(x t k+1 ) + ln λ t (1) k=1 or [ ] r λ t = exp f t + φ k g(x t k+1 ) (2) k=1 Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 12 / 53

13 Gamma Model - SARIMA structure for parameter evolution (y 1t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) Gamma ( α, α 1 λ t ), E (y1t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) = λ t (3) Var (y 1t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) = λ 2 t /α ( ) s t = α d yt 1, d = 0, 1/2 or 1 (4) λ t p q f t+1 = w + A i s t i+1 + B j f t j+1 (5) i=1 j=1 >> Seasonality is captured by making A i and B j nonzero, for i, j multiples of 12 and in their vicinity. Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 13 / 53

14 Gamma Model - Unobserved component structure for parameter evolution (y 1t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) Gamma ( α, α 1 λ t ), E (y1t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) = λ t (6) Var (y 1t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) = λ 2 t /α ( ) s t = α d y1t 1, d = 0, 1/2 or 1 (7) λ t r f t+1 = w + f 1,t+1 + f 2,t+1 + f 3,t+1 + φ k g(x t k+1 ) (8) k=1 In this model λ t = exp(f t). The scaled score can be seen as an error component. Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 14 / 53

15 Gamma Model - Unobserved component structure for parameter evolution random walk f 1,t+1 = f 1,t + a 1 s t (9) seasonality f 2,t+1 = 11 i=1 f 2,t+1 i + a 2 s t (10) autoregressive f 3,t+1 = φf 3,t + a 3 s t (11) Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 15 / 53

16 Pearson residuals: Univariate Gamma Models r t/t 1 = s t (d = 1/2) (12) Also, from MEM specication (y 1t = λ t u t ), a natural residual is given by: u t = (u t 1) (13) = s t (d = 0) Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 16 / 53

17 Beta Model - SARIMA structure for parameter evolution Wind power capacity is dened in the range [0, k], for k 100. In the application we adopted k = 70. For this series, we considered a beta distribution, with the timevarying parameter given by: [ ] r β t = exp f t + φ k g(x t k+1 ) (14) k=1 Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 17 / 53

18 Beta Model - SARIMA structure for parameter evolution β t (y 2t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) Beta (β t, α), E (y 2t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) = k β t + α (15) Var (y 2t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) = k 2 β tα (β t + α) 2 (β t + α + 1) s t = ln y 2t [ln k + ψ 1 (β t) ψ 2 (β t + α)] β 1 2d t [ψ 2 (β t) ψ 2 (β t + α)] 1 d, d = 0, 1/2 or 1 (16) p q f t+1 = w + A i s t i+1 + B j f t j+1 (17) i=1 j=1 Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 18 / 53

19 Beta Model - Unobserved component structure for parameter evolution β t (y 2t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) Beta (β t, α), E (y 2t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) = k β t + α (18) Var (y 2t /f t, Ϝ t, θ) = k 2 β tα (β t + α) 2 (β t + α + 1) s t = ln y 2t [ln k + ψ 1 (β t) ψ 2 (β t + α)] β 1 2d t [ψ 2 (β t) ψ 2 (β t + α)] 1 d, d = 0, 1/2 or 1 (19) r f t+1 = w + f 1,t+1 + f 2,t+1 + f 3,t+1 + φ k g(x t k+1 ) (20) k=1 Components f 1,t, f 2,t and f 3,t are the same as in the gamma model.

20 Outline Introduction 1 Introduction Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 20 / 53

21 Bivariate Gamma-Beta Distribution We considered a modied version of a bivariate distribution proposed by Nadarajah (2009). Let u and v be gamma variables with: u Gamma(α, λ/α), v Gamma(β, λ/α). (21) Now, dene y 1 and y 2 as follows: y 1 = u, v y 2 = k u + v (22) Thus, y 1 and y 2 have gamma and beta distributions, respectively. The bivariate Gamma Beta(α, β, λ) is easily obtained through a change of variables. p(y 1, y 2 ) = ky α+β 1 1 y β 1 2 (k y 2 ) (β+1) exp{ kαy 1 /[(k y 1 )λ]} (λ/α) α+β Γ(α)Γ(β) (23) Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 21 / 53

22 Bivariate Gamma-Beta Distribution Moments: E(y 1 ) = λ, V (y 1 ) = λ 2 /α (24) β E(y 2 ) = k α + β, V (y 2) = k 2 αβ (α + β) 2 (α + β + 1) (25) ( Corr(y 1, y 2 ) = 1 + α + 1 ) 1 2 (26) β Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 22 / 53

23 Bivariate Gamma-Beta GAS Model ((y 1t, y 2t )/f t, Ϝ t, θ) Gamma Beta(α, β t, λ t ) (27) s t = I d 1 t/t 1 t, d = 0, 1/2 or 1 (28) f t+1 = w + p A i s t i+1 + i=1 q B j f t j+1 (29) j=1 Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 23 / 53

24 Bivariate Gamma-Beta GAS Model The chosen parameterization is given by: r 1 r 2 (β t, λ t ) = exp f 1,t + φ 1k g 1 (x t k+1 ), exp f 2,t + φ 2k g 2 (x t k+1 ) k=1 k=1 (30) Score vector and the Fisher Information matrix to f t = (f 1t, f 2t ) : [ βt {ln [y t = 1t y 2t /(k y 2t )] ln λ t + ln α ψ 1 (β t)} kαy 1t /[(k y 2t )λ t] (α + β t) ] (31) [ β 2 I t/t 1 = t ψ 2 (β t) β t β t (α + β t) ] (32) Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 24 / 53

25 Bivariate Gamma-Beta GAS Model Since the conditional moments of each variable are the same of the univariate models, the dependence structure will come from eq.(29). To illustrate, a GAS(1,1) model without exogenous variables has updating equation given by: ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) f1,t+1 w1 a11 a = + 12 s1,t b11 b + 12 f1,t f 2,t+1 w 2 a 21 a 22 s 2,t b 21 b 22 f 2,t (33) Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 25 / 53

31 Forecasting k-step ahead forecasts, as given by E (y t+k /f t, Ϝ t, θ), obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. Algorithm: For k 1, independently generate m paths, each one with extension of K, according to the steps below: 1 Update f t+k from {Ϝ t+k 1 } and f t+k 1 ; 2 Simulate y t+k from the predictive distribution, using ˆθ and the information sets {Ϝ t+k } and f t+k ; 3 Return to step (a), until k = K; For each horizon k = 1, 2,..., K mean, condence interval and quantiles can be obtained. Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 31 / 53

32 Diagnostics using Quantile Residuals Diagnostics using quantile residuals (Kalliovirta, 2009), dened by: R t,θ = Φ 1 (F (y t/f t, Ϝ t, θ)) (37) where Φ 1 (.) is the inverse normal CDF and F (y t/f t, Ϝ t, θ) is the conditional CDF. Observed quantile residuals r t, ˆθ obtained by substituting θ for ˆθ. In the multivariate case, the theoretical quantile residuals are dened from the marginal distributions, ie: R t,θ = [ R t1,θ, R t2,θ,..., R tk,θ ] (38) Gilson Matos Cristiano Fernandes GAS Workshop 32 / 53

52 We specify and estimate a bivariate Gamma-Beta GAS model based on Nadjahara's distribution. The bivariate Gamma-Beta GAS model integrated the univariate models (parameterizations and marginal distributions), besides permitting the joint generation of streamow and wind power factor scenarios. Our model compares favorably to a VARX model tted to the same bivariate series (Amaral, 2011), with the additional feature that no data transformation is necessary. Forecasting obtained by simulation and diagnostics based on quantile residuals. Recursion initialization (f t) and maximum likelihood initialization need further thinking.
