Model of Automobile Parts Sale Prediction Based on Nonlinear Periodic Gray GM(1,1)‎ and Empirical Research

Abstract EN

The traditional predictive method cannot fully reflect the complex nonlinear characteristics and regularities of automobile and parts sales data, so the prediction precision is not high.

The purpose of this paper is to propose the gray GM(1,1) nonlinear periodic predictive model by introducing the seasonal variation index to improve predictive accuracy of the single GM(1,1) model.

Firstly, the paper analyzes concept of GM(1,1) and then proposes the gray GM(1,1) nonlinear periodic predictive model to forecast automobile parts sales.

The model algorithm used gray theory and accumulated technology to generate new data and set up unified differential equations to find the fitting curve of automobile parts sales prediction by the seasonal variation index to remove random elements.

Lastly, the gray GM(1,1) nonlinear periodic predictive model is used for empirical analysis; the result of example shows that the model proposed in the paper is feasible.

The superiority of the proposed predictive model compared with the single gray GM(1,1) model is demonstrated.

The reliability of this model is experienced by the accuracy test, which provides a theoretical guidance for the prediction of automobile part sales.

And the average relative error is reduced by 8.52% compared with the single GM(1,1) model.
