Two-step fuzzy forecasting pattern: fuzzylise the universe, then interpret the fuzzy output

Design Method · All design methods
Evidence · no claims cited

Description

The article organizes fuzzy forecasting as a reusable two-step procedure. Step one is modeling: "according to the historical data orexperience knowledge setting up the fuzzy logical model", which includes fuzzylising the universe of the historical data. Step two is interpreting the output, which "are actually all fuzzysets" and may need translation into regular numbers. The pattern embeds human subjective experience at both stages.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Historical data or experience knowledge from persons acquainted with what is to be forecast, and human subjective experience knowledge for interpreting fuzzy outputs.

Constraints

  • If fuzzy-set outputs already satisfy the forecasting requirement the interpretation step can stop; otherwise quantitative translation is needed.

Target Learners

  • institutional researchers and planners forecasting enrollments

Target Goals

  • producing usable enrollment forecasts from historical or experience-based knowledge
