“…In comparison to existing methods, more accurate forecasting methods can be obtained using a rule-based forecasting (RBF), a technique combining data extrapolation [7,13,14,25,26,[43][44][45], time series [28,29,44,45], and elements of expert systems [5-7, 22, 23, 34, 37, 46]. The four most important methods of extrapolation were used: linear regression, random walk, and Brown's exponential smoothing, as well as Holt's exponential smoothing.…”
