Air passengers forecasting for Australian airline based on hybrid rough set approach

Abstract

Accurate and reliable air passenger demand is very important for policy-making and planning by tourism management as well as by airline authorities. Therefore, this article proposed a novel hybrid method based on rough set theory (RST) to construct decision rules for long-term forecasting of air passengers. Level (mean) and trend components are first estimated from the air passengers time series data using DES model in the formulation of the proposed hybrid method. Then the rough set theory is employed to combine the output of DES model and generated decision rules is used to forecasting air passengers. We compare the proposed approach with other time series models using a corrected classified accuracy (CCA) criterion. For the empirical analysis, yearly air transport passenger from 1992 to 2004 is used. Empirical results show that the proposed method is highly accurate with the higher corrected classified accuracy. Also, forecasting accuracy of the proposed method is better than the other time series approaches.

Short-term Forecasting for Airline Industry: The Case of Indian Air Passenger and Air Cargo

“…They indicated that 2 years single moving average is closer to the original data than the exponential smoothing method. The study by Sharma et al (2018) forecasted air passengers by using an exponential smoothing method. However, there are studies in the field, which used traditional multiple regression to modern machine learning techniques for time series forecasting.…”

Generalized Z-fuzzy soft β-covering based rough matrices and its application to MAGDM problem based on AHP method

“…Rough set is used in data analysis to discover basic patterns in data, eliminate redundancies, and develop decision rules. Sharma et al (2018Sharma et al ( , 2021Sharma et al ( , 2022 developed various hybrid methods using rough set theory to create decision rules useful for realworld problems. Several scholars are working on this concept, which is being applied to a variety of fields such as in (Greco et al, 2001).…”

The Energy of rough neutrosophic matrix and its application to MCDM problem for selecting the best building construction site

“…A concept of the Rough Fuzzy set model for a set-valued ordered fuzzy decision system was presented (Bao et al, 2014). In order to create decision rules for long-term forecasting of air passengers suggested a novel hybrid method based on rough set theory (Sharma et al, 2018). Then they used a combination technique to evaluate India's sugarcane production based on the rough set approach (Sharma et al, 2021).…”
