English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistics
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Autoregressive modeling is a machine learning technique most commonly used for time series analysis and forecasting that uses one or more values from previous time steps in a time series to create a regression.

Key term(s)
  • auto-regressive modelling
  • auto-regressive modeling

French

Domaine(s)
  • Statistique
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

La modélisation autorégressive (AR) pour l'analyse et la prédiction de séries temporelles a toujours suscité un intérêt important en raison de sa simplicité conceptuelle[. Elle utilise] un modèle de régression linéaire dans lequel le signal est expliqué par ses échantillons passés plutôt que par d'autres valeurs, permettant par là même de prédire des valeurs futures.

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
CONT

Curve fitting is a statistical methodology commonly used as a quantitative forecasting technique. Many different types of curves can be used in fitting historical data for predicting future variables. The challenge is to determine which form of curve will best fit the available data and provide the basis for an accurate forecast of the future.

Key term(s)
  • fitting of curves

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes statistiques
CONT

L'ajustement de courbe est une méthodologie statistique couramment utilisée comme technique de prévision quantitative. De nombreux types de courbe différents peuvent être utilisés afin d'ajuster les données historiques pour prévoir les variables futures. Le défi consiste à déterminer la forme de courbe la mieux adaptée aux données disponibles et qui servira de base à une prévision précise du futur.

Record 4 2004-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
DEF

Technique of weather forecasting using only the observations made at a single station.

CONT

Weather forecasting has progressed through three phases-single observer forecasting, the synoptic approach and the current application of computers. The three phases overlap and each still has its part in the overall scheme.... Single observer forecasting... is limited by the amount of information used. We only know what is happening at one location and weather systems can travel great distances-1500 miles or more in 24 hours is not unknown. Experience coupled to observation is very useful but still just one... For thousands of years it was the only possible technique...

OBS

Single observer forecasting, sometimes called Weather Lore ...

Key term(s)
  • single-station weather forecasting
  • single observer weather forecasting

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prévisions météorologiques et mesure et analyse des données
DEF

Technique de prévision du temps basée uniquement sur les observations d'une seule station.

Record 7 1998-07-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Organization Planning
DEF

Types of technique used, for example, in technological forecasting, which begin with a consideration of the likely future structure and needs of society, and then consider the developments necessary to create that structure and meet those needs. On the other hand, exploratory forecasting techniques make projections based on present knowledge of a technology or product without trying to take into account the likely overall future picture. Particular techniques of technological forecasting include brain-storming, the Delphi approach, morphological research, the scenario writing approach, and technological trend extrapolation.
