  16. Outline B. A New Methodology • Introduction • The TEI@I methodology for crude oil price forecasting • A simulation study • Concluding remarks

  17. Introduction I • Importance of oil price forecasting: The role of oil in the world economy becomes more and more significant because nearly two-thirds of the world’s energy consumption comes from the crude oil and natural gas. For example, • worldwide consumption of crude oil exceeds $500 billion, roughly 10% of the USA’s GDP. • crude oil is also the world’s most actively traded commodity, accounting for about 10% of total world trade.

  18. Introduction II • Determination of oil price : Basically, crude oil price is determined by its supply and demand, and is strongly influenced by many irregular future events like the weather, stock levels, GDP growth, political aspects and even people’s expectation. • The above facts lead to a strongly fluctuating and interacting market whose fundamental mechanism governing the complex dynamics is not well understood. • Furthermore, because sharp oil price movements are likely to disturb aggregate economic activity, researchers have shown considerable interests for volatile oil prices. • Therefore, forecasting oil prices is an important and very hard topic due to its intrinsic difficulty and practical applications.

  19. Introduction III • Main literature about oil price forecasting: • Watkins, G.C., Plourde, A.: How volatile are crude oil prices? OPEC Review, 18(4), (1994) 220-245. • Hagen, R.: How is the international price of a particular crude determining? OPEC Review, 18 (1), (1994) 145-158 • Stevens, P.: The determination of oil prices 1945-1995. Energy Policy, 23(10), (1995) 861-870 • Huntington, H.G.: Oil price forecasting in the 1980s: what went wrong? The Energy Journal, 15(2), (1994) 1-22. • Abramson, B., Finizza, A.: Probabilistic forecasts from probabilistic models: a case study in the oil market. International Journal of Forecasting, 11(1), (1995) 63-72 • Morana, C.: A semiparametric approach to short-term oil price forecasting. Energy Economics, 23(3), (2001) 325-338

  20. Introduction IV • Evaluation about literature: • There are only very limited number of related papers on oil price forecasting. • The literature focuses on the oil price volatility analysis. • The literature focuses only on oil price determination within the framework of supply and demand. • It is, therefore, very necessary to introduce new method for crude oil price forecasting.

  21. Outline B. A New Methodology • Introduction • TheTEI@I methodologyfor crude oil price forecasting • A simulation study • Concluding remarks

  22. TEI@I Introduction (A) • In view of difficulty and complexity of crude oil price forecasting, a new methodology named TEI@I is proposed in this study to “integrate” systematically “text mining”, “econometrics” and “intelligent techniques” and a novel integrated forecasting approach with error correction and judgmental adjustment within the framework of the TEI@I methodology is presented for improving prediction performance. .

  23. TEI@I Introduction (B) • Here the name “TEI@I” is based on “text mining” + “econometrics” + “intelligence (intelligent algorithms)” @ “integration”. Using “@” to replace “+” is to emphasize the functional of integrations.The general framework structure is shown in the following figure.

  24. The general framework of TEI@I

  25. Man-machine interface (MMI) module • The man-machine interface (MMI) is a graphical window through which users can exchange information within the framework of TEI@I. • it handles all input/output between users and the TEI@I system. • it can be considered as open platform communicating with users and interacting with other components of the TEI@I system.

  26. Web-based text mining module • Crude oil market is an unstable market with high volatility and oil price is often affected by many related factors. • In order to improve forecasting accuracy, these related factors should be taken into consideration in forecasting. • Web-based text mining is used to explore the related factors. • In this study, the main goal of web-based text mining module is to collect related information affecting oil price variability from Internet and to provide the collected useful information to the rule-based expert system forecasting module.

  27. The main process of WTM module

  28. Rule-based expert system (RES) module • Expert system module is used to transform the irregular events into valuable adjusted information. • That is, rule-based expert system is used to extract some rules to judge oil price abnormal variability by summarizing the relationships between oil price fluctuation and key factors affecting oil price volatility. • See the paper for a detailed discussion.

  29. Econometrical forecasting module • It includes a large number of modeling techniques and models, such as autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, vector auto-regression (VAR) model, generalized moment method (GMM), etc. • Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model is used here. • ARIMA is used to model the linear pattern of oil price time series, while nonlinear component is modeled by artificial neural network (ANN).

  30. ANN-based time series forecasting module • The ANN used in this study is a three-layer back-propagation neural network (BPNN) incorporating the Levenberg- Marquardt algorithm for training. • For an univariate time-series forecasting problem, the inputs of the network are the past lagged observations of the data series and the outputs are the future values. • BPNN time-series forecasting model performs a nonlinear mapping. That is,

  31. ANN-based time series forecasting module

  32. Bases and bases management module • The other modules of the TEI@I system have a strong connection with this module. • For example, ANN-based forecasting module utilizes MB and DB, while the rule-based expert system mainly used the KB and DB. • To summarize, the TEI@I system framework is developed through an integration of the web-based text mining, rule-based expert system and ANN-based time series forecasting techniques.

  33. Summary • In this framework, econometrical models (e.g., autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA)) are used to model the linear components of crude oil price time series (i.e., the main trends). • Nonlinear components of crude oil price time series (i.e., error term) are modeled by a neural network (NN) model. • the effects of irregular and infrequent future events on crude oil price are explored by web-based text mining (WTM) and rule-based expert systems (RES) techniques. • MMI and BBM are the auxiliary modules for constructing the integrated TEI@I system.

  34. The nonlinear integrated forecasting approach • Within the framework of TEI@I methodology, a novel nonlinear integrated forecasting approach is proposed to improve oil price forecasting performance. • The flow chart of the nonlinear integrated forecasting approach is shown in the following.

  45. D 管理科学研究要注意的问题与原则 不同的分支领域的研究方法往往是不同的，但也有一些需要共同遵循的原则，例如 • 文献资料要充分、对国际学科前沿和发展动态要有系统的了解（自己做研究前，最好写一个综述）；（书尚和李刚的例子） • 研究的问题要抓得准，做到解决用户需求与学术创新相结合；（在解决问题中提出新概念、新理论或新方法等） • 数据的收集要能支持研究工作，尽可能做到全并进行必要的处理；（贸易和外汇黑市汇率的预测为例） • 模型的适用性务必进行检验，研究中注意假设（假定）是否合理；（金融市场的有效性研究为例） • 多一种工具或方法，就是你比别人有优势的地方； • 结论基于深入的分析，而不是凭空想象的结果；

  46. D 管理科学研究要注意的问题与原则 • 结果发表前最好请他人多评论，使得研究工作尽可能完美；（国外通常的做法：working papers + seminar presentations） • 保证与用户的交互，真正解决用户的问题和需求；（以二炮的项目为例） • 部分得意的工作应该争取在国际著名期刊上发表； • 不要期待一个人解决所有的问题，team work; • 重视定量分析的同时，也重视定性分析的重要性。复杂的管理问题的解决常是定性与定量分析相结合的结果；切勿无根据的分析和为模型而模型的研究； • 重视名家的工作和阅读著名期刊上的论文，可能的话索取working papers（时间上短1-3年时间）。
