“…Scholars have carried out the improvement GS 14,1 work of the grey forecasting model from various angles. The current improvements for GM(1,N) model are mainly background value optimization (Hsu, 2009;Guo et al, 2013;Huang, 2009), consideration of time-lag features (Zhang et al, 2015;Xiong et al, 2021;Ofosu-Adarkwa and Xie, 2023), and nonlinear features (Zhou and Fang, 2010;Ding et al, 2018a;Wang and Ye, 2017). Among them, parameter improvement of background value is more straightforward than other methods, and the improvement effect is ideal.…”
