To improve the prediction accuracy of compositional data time series (CDTSs), the aggregation of compositional data was considered and applied to construct a combination forecasting model. Different from current arithmetic mean based aggregation of compositional data, the aggregation method of compositional data from the induced ordered weighted averaging (IOWA) operator was put forward. Properties of such aggregation methods are discussed. Since prediction accuracies of different individual forecasting models are diverse over time, forecasting error between the aggregated CDTSs and the original CDTS is minimized and set as an objective function of the aggregated weights. To derive the optimal weights associated to individual forecasting models, the genetic algorithm was utilized. Correspondingly, an improved time-varying combination mode and an IOWA operator based combination mode are developed. Finally, a numerical study on China's primary energy production structure is presented. The results show that the developed varying weight combination model is superior to the benchmark model in terms of prediction accuracy comparison, illustrating the feasibility and validity of the developed combination forecasting model.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.

Energy Diagrams - II
The point in the energy diagram at which the system’s potential energy is the lowest is known as the local minima. The system tends to stay in this position indefinitely unless acted upon by a net force. The slope of the potential energy diagram at the local minima is zero, indicating that zero net force is acting on the system. The slope...

Take the example of a skater on a parabolic ramp. The potential energy at different points along the ramp will be proportional to the height of the ramp, which varies quadratically with the horizontal position on the ramp. As the skater moves down the ramp from the highest position,...
