In this paper, a technique for selecting individual methods in a combined time series forecasting model is described. A neural network at the input of which a vector of time series metrics is proposed. The metrics corresponds to significant characteristics of the time series. The values of the metrics are easily computed. The neural network calculates the estimated prediction error for each model from the base set of the combined model. The proposed selection method is most effective for short time series and when the base set contains a lot of complex prediction methods. The developed system was tested on the time series from the CIF 2015-2016 competitions. According to the result of the experiment, the application of the developed system allowed to reduce the average forecast error from 13 to 9 percent.

The development of the economy and the transition to industry 4.0 creates new challenges for artificial intelligence methods. Such challenges include the processing of large volumes of data, the analysis of various dynamic indicators, the discovery of complex dependencies in the accumulated data, and the forecasting of the state of processes. The main point of this study is the development of a set of analytical and prognostic methods. The methods described in this article based on fuzzy logic, statistic, and time series data mining, because data extracted from dynamic systems are initially incomplete and have a high degree of uncertainty. The ultimate goal of the study is to improve the quality of data analysis in industrial and economic systems. The advantages of the proposed methods are flexibility and orientation to the high interpretability of dynamic data. The high level of the interpretability and interoperability of dynamic data is achieved due to a combination of time series data mining and knowledge base engineering methods. The merging of a set of rules extracted from the time series and knowledge base rules allow for making a forecast in case of insufficiency of the length and nature of the time series. The proposed methods are also based on the summarization of the results of processes modeling for diagnosing technical systems, forecasting of the economic condition of enterprises, and approaches to the technological preparation of production in a multi-productive production program with the application of type 2 fuzzy sets for time series modeling. Intelligent systems based on the proposed methods demonstrate an increase in the quality and stability of their functioning. This article contains a set of experiments to approve this statement.
