ABSTRACT
Forecasting crude oil prices has always been a matter of discussion among energy experts. Due to a significant dependence of the global economy on crude oil, the volatility of the spot price can impact the supply and demand of the market. Moreover, crude oil is still the primary energy for transportation worldwide. Although renewable energy sources have developed significantly, crude oil has been dominant in transportation fuels in the last few decades. This study focuses on mid-term multi-step forecasting and provides a forecasting model that provides a robust prediction for 60 to 90 steps ahead. Our main objective is to develop a forecasting model that can maintain high accuracy and low errors. Our analysis uses a hybrid Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN) and the Convolutional Neural Network, Long Short-Term Memory (CNN_LSTM) deep learning model. These three techniques, which have different advantages, are put together, and the combination of them is able to identify features (trend and seasonality) in historical data learning and perform high prediction accuracy for next-term prediction. We compared the proposed model with other decomposition and deep learning techniques. The proposed model shows lower Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values than other benchmark models for Brent and crude West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices – the proposed model’s Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) results in better forecasting with MAPE values between 4 to 10. The simulation with box plot analysis also gives a quartile range value below 0.2, which shows the stability of the model in each iteration. Finally, the proposed model can provide a robust forecasting model for multi-step mid-term forecasting.

Średniookresowe prognozowanie cen ropy naftowej przy użyciu hybrydowego modelu głębokiego uczenia CEEMDAN i CNN_LSTM
prognozowanie, cena ropy naftowej, kompletny rozkład trybu empirycznego zespołu z adaptacyjnym szumem, sieć neuronowa splotowa, pamięć długo-krótkotrwała
Prognozowanie cen ropy naftowej zawsze było przedmiotem dyskusji wśród ekspertów ds. energii. Ze względu na znaczną zależność światowej gospodarki od ropy naftowej, zmienność ceny spot może mieć wpływ na podaż i popyt na rynku. Ponadto ropa naftowa jest nadal podstawową energią dla transportu na całym świecie. Chociaż odnawialne źródła energii znacznie się rozwinęły, ropa naftowa dominuje w paliwach transportowych w ciągu ostatnich kilku dekad. Niniejsze badanie koncentruje się na prognozowaniu wieloetapowym w średnim okresie i dostarcza model prognostyczny, który zapewnia solidną prognozę na 60 do 90 kroków do przodu. Głównym celem jest opracowanie modelu prognostycznego, który może utrzymać wysoką dokładność i niskie błędy. Niniejsza analiza wykorzystuje hybrydowy model uczenia głębokiego Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN) i model uczenia głębokiego Convolutional Neural Network, Long Short-Term Memory (CNN_LSTM). Dzięki połączeniu tych trzech różnych technik jesteśmy w stanie identyfikować cechy (trend i sezonowość) w uczeniu się danych historycznych i zapewniać wysoką dokładność prognozowania w przypadku prognozowania na następny okres. W artykule porównano proponowany model z innymi technikami dekompozycji i głębokiego uczenia. Proponowany model wykazuje niższe wartości średniego błędu bezwzględnego (MAE) i średniego błędu kwadratowego (RMSE) niż inne modele referencyjne dla cen ropy Brent i ropy West Texas Intermediate (WTI) – średni błąd procentowy bezwzględny proponowanego modelu (MAPE) skutkuje lepszym prognozowaniem z wartościami MAPE od 4 do 10. Symulacja z analizą wykresu pudełkowego daje również wartość zakresu kwartylowego poniżej 0,2, co pokazuje stabilność modelu w każdej iteracji. Wreszcie, proponowany model może zapewnić solidny model prognostyczny do wieloetapowego prognozowania średnioterminowego.
