Abstract
Efforts across diverse domains like economics, energy, and agronomy have focused on developing predictive models for time series data. A spectrum of techniques, spanning from elementary linear models to intricate neural networks and machine learning algorithms, has been explored to achieve accurate forecasts. The hybrid ARIMA-SVR model has garnered attention due to its fusion of a foundational linear model with error correction capabilities. However, its use is limited to stationary time series data, posing a significant challenge. To overcome these limitations and drive progress, we propose the innovative NAR–SVR hybrid method. Unlike its predecessor, this approach breaks free from stationarity and linearity constraints, leading to improved model performance solely through historical data exploitation. This advancement significantly reduces the time and computational resources needed for precise predictions, a critical factor in univariate economic time series forecasting. We apply the NAR–SVR hybrid model in three scenarios: Spanish berry daily yield data from 2018 to 2021, daily COVID-19 cases in three countries during 2020, and the daily Bitcoin price time series from 2015 to 2020. Through extensive comparative analyses with other time series prediction models, our results substantiate that our novel approach consistently outperforms its counterparts. By transcending stationarity and linearity limitations, our hybrid methodology establishes a new paradigm for univariate time series forecasting, revolutionizing the field and enhancing predictive capabilities across various domains as highlighted in this study.
