Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18Modeling and Forecasting of Monthly Pm2.5 Emission of Paris by Periodogram-Based Time Series Methodology(Springer, 2021) Akdi, Yilmaz; Golveren, Elif; Unlu, Kamil Demirberk; Yucel, Mustafa ErayIn this study, monthly particulate matter (PM2.5) of Paris for the period between January 2000 and December 2019 is investigated by utilizing a periodogram-based time series methodology. The main contribution of the study is modeling the PM2.5 of Paris by extracting the information purely from the examined time series data, where proposed model implicitly captures the effects of other factors, as all their periodic and seasonal effects reside in the air pollution data. Periodicity can be defined as the patterns embedded in the data other than seasonality, and it is crucial to understand the underlying periodic dynamics of air pollutants to better fight pollution. The method we use successfully captures and accounts for the periodicities, which could otherwise be mixed with seasonality under an alternative methodology. Upon the unit root test based on periodograms, it is revealed that the investigated data has periodicities of 1 year and 20 years, so harmonic regression is utilized as an alternative to Box-Jenkins methodology. As the harmonic regression displayed a better performance both in and out-of-sample forecasts, it can be considered as a powerful alternative to model and forecast time series with a periodic structure.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 26A Univariate Time Series Methodology Based on Sequence-To Learning for Short To Midterm Wind Power Production(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Akbal, Yildirim; Unlu, Kamil DemirberkThe biggest wind farm of Turkey is placed at Manisa which is located in the Aegean Region. Electricity is a nonstorable commodity for that reason, it is very important to have a strong forecast and model of the potential electricity production to plan the electricity loads. In this study, the aim is to model and forecast electricity production of the wind farms located at Manisa by using a univariate model based on sequence-to-sequence learning. The forecasting range of the study is from short term to midterm. The strength of the proposed model is that; it only needs its own lagged value to make forecasts. The empirical evidences show that the model has high coefficient of variation (R-2) in short term and moderate R-2 in the midterm forecast. Although in the midrange forecasts R-2 slightly decreases mean squared error and mean absolute error shows that the model is accurate also in the midterm forecasts. The proposed model is not only strong in hourly electricity production forecasts but with a slight modification also in forecasting the minimum, maximum and average electricity production for a fixed range. This study concludes with two fresh and intriguing future research ideas.
