For the year of 2030, IEA's forecast result shows a slightly lower estimate, while BP's results show almost no differences, in comparison with the forecast result in this work; while from 2030, BP foresees the fastest growth due to the perception that nonconventional natural gas will grow dramatically then in China.
America's $805 billion current-account deficit last year was the world's biggest in absolute terms, but as a percentage of GDP it pales in comparison with the 24.5% deficit forecast this year for Eritrea or the 24.6% forecast for São Tomé e Príncipe.
The recent development of empirical models using pattern recognition techniques and neural networks (Nakamura et al. 2007, 2009; Wang et al. 2013; Zhao et al. 2014) allowed for a significant improvement of the forecast quality in comparison with the IRI model, as they are easy to implement automatically and flexible enough.
The ANFIS model trained with the input data vector including previous inflows and cyclic terms of monthly periodicity has shown a significant improvement in the forecast accuracy in comparison with the ANFIS models trained with the input vectors considering only previous inflows.
Comparison of the results reveals that the FFA is able to improve the forecasting accuracy of the hybrid ANFIS-FFA model (r = 1; RMSE = 0.984; MAE = 0.364; ENS = 1; ELM = 0.988; Drefined = 0.994) applied for the monthly streamflow forecasting in comparison with the traditional ANFIS model (r = 0.998; RMSE = 3.276; MAE = 1.553; ENS = 0.995; ELM = 0.950; Drefined = 0.975).
The forecasting performance is evaluated comprehensively in comparison with the well-known seasonal ARIMA approach.
Zhandel [11] worked on the wear forecasting of the wheel in comparison with the results of field measurements.
In comparison with the Naive approach, the aggregation algorithms exhibit somewhat better forecasting performance.
To be reliable, the forecasted maximum rainfalls for the selected return periods are evaluated in comparison with the results of the plotting position.
Her story pales in comparison with the boy's.
