Hybrid machine learning models applied to daily urban water consumption prediction

This study proposes hybrid machine learning (ML) models to predict the daily urban water consumption scenario in a neighborhood Brazilian city. The framework evaluates various signal decomposition modes, including empirical wavelet transform (EWT), …

Wind power forecasting based on bagging extreme learning machine ensemble model

The wind energy forecast is an useful tool for wind farm production planning, and operation, facilitating decision making in terms of maintenance, electricity market clearing, and load sharing. This study proposes a cooperative ensemble learning …

Artificial intelligence and signal decomposition approach applied to retail sales forecasting

Sales forecasting is essential for decision-making and are crucial in many areas of a firm, such as planning and scheduling, resource management, marketing, logistics, and supply chain. Due to the fluctuations in retail sales, prediction with high …

Dengue cases forecasting based on extreme gradient boosting ensemble with coyote optimization

Dengue is considered a public health problem in tropical regions, periodically affecting an increasing number of citizens. Consequently, the development of efficient models is essentials to short and long-term forecasting, supporting health care …

Forecasting COVID-19 pandemic using an echo state neural network-based framework

Forecasts can help in the decision-making process. Epidemiological forecasts are no different, they can help to evaluate the scenario and possible direction of disease spread, for guiding possible interventions. In this work, Echo State Networks …

Seasonal-trend and multiobjective ensemble learning model for water consumption forecasting

Water consumption forecasting is essential for the development of efficient city planning. Due to the non-linearities and relations of the water consumption with different factors the development of an accurate forecasting system is challenging. This …

An improved ensemble learning model for multi-step ahead wind power generation forecasting

The development and expansion of clean energy, such as wind energy, are important in the preservation of the environment and development of local economies and an alternative to hydroelectric and thermal energies. In this respect, the development of …

Multi-step wind speed forecasting based on multi-stage decomposition approach

Wind energy is one of the sources which is still in development in Brazil, however, it already represents 17% of the National Interconnected System. Due to the high level of uncertainty and fluctuations in wind speed, prediction of wind speed with …

Forecasting the cumulative cases of COVID-19 in four large Brazilian cities using machine learning approaches
