<h2>What are Fuzzy Time Series (FTS)?<a class="headerlink" href="#what-are-fuzzy-time-series-fts" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Fuzzy Time Series (FTS) are non parametric methods for time series forecasting based on Fuzzy Theory. The original method was proposed by [1] and improved later by many researchers. The general approach of the FTS methods, based on [2] is listed below:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p><strong>Data preprocessing</strong>: Data transformation functions contained at <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PYFTS/pyFTS/blob/master/pyFTS/common/Transformations.py">pyFTS.common.Transformations</a>, like differentiation, Box-Cox, scaling and normalization.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Universe of Discourse Partitioning</strong>: This is the most important step. Here, the range of values of the numerical time series <em>Y(t)</em> will be splited in overlapped intervals and for each interval will be created a Fuzzy Set. This step is performed by pyFTS.partition module and its classes (for instance GridPartitioner, EntropyPartitioner, etc). The main parameters are:</p></li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><p>the number of intervals</p></li>
<li><p>which fuzzy membership function (on <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PYFTS/pyFTS/blob/master/pyFTS/common/Membership.py">pyFTS.common.Membership</a>)</p></li>
<li><p>partition scheme (<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PYFTS/pyFTS/blob/master/pyFTS/partitioners/Grid.py">GridPartitioner</a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PYFTS/pyFTS/blob/master/pyFTS/partitioners/Entropy.py">EntropyPartitioner</a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PYFTS/pyFTS/blob/master/pyFTS/partitioners/FCM.py">FCMPartitioner</a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PYFTS/pyFTS/blob/master/pyFTS/partitioners/Huarng.py">HuarngPartitioner</a>)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Check out the jupyter notebook on <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PYFTS/notebooks/blob/master/Partitioners.ipynb">notebooks/Partitioners.ipynb</a> for sample codes.</p>
</div></blockquote>
<ol class="arabic simple" start="3">
<li><p><strong>Data Fuzzyfication</strong>: Each data point of the numerical time series <em>Y(t)</em> will be translated to a fuzzy representation (usually one or more fuzzy sets), and then a fuzzy time series <em>F(t)</em> is created.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>4. <strong>Generation of Fuzzy Rules</strong>: In this step the temporal transition rules are created. These rules depends on the method and their characteristics:
- <em>order</em>: the number of time lags used on forecasting
- <em>weights</em>: the weighted models introduce weights on fuzzy rules for smoothing
- <em>seasonality</em>: seasonality models
- <em>steps ahead</em>: the number of steps ahed to predict. Almost all standard methods are based on one-step-ahead forecasting
- <em>forecasting type</em>: Almost all standard methods are point-based, but pyFTS also provides intervalar and probabilistic forecasting methods.</p>
<ol class="arabic simple" start="5">
<li><p><strong>Forecasting</strong>: The forecasting step takes a sample (with minimum length equal to the models order) and generate a fuzzy outputs (fuzzy set(s)) for the next time ahead.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Defuzzyfication</strong>: This step transform the fuzzy forecast into a real number.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Data postprocessing</strong>: The inverse operations of step 1.</p></li>
</ol>
