Abstract

Harmony search algorithm (HSA) is relatively considered as one of the most recent metaheuristic algorithms. HSA is a modern - nature algorithm that simulates the musicians’ natural process of musical improvisation to enhance their instrument’s note to find a state of pleasant (harmony) according to aesthetic standards. Lots of variants of HSA have been suggested to tackle combinatorial optimization problems. They range from hybridizing some components of other metaheuristic approaches (to improve the HSA) to taking some concepts of HSA and utilizing them to improve other metaheuristic methods. This stud y reviews research pertaining to parameter settings of HSA and its applications to efficiently solve hard combinatorial optimization problems.

Abstract

Managing finance entails the art and science of distributing available and potential funds among various competing needs. Government expenditures fund programs that provide a wide range of services to different population segments. As a result, the demand for enhanced and additional services often surpasses the government's financial capacity. Firstly, the price forecasting procedures for the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and hybrid-ARIMA-EM models will be summarized. Secondly, the accuracy of the models will be assessed on two real datasets collected from Kaggle (Crude_Oil_Price and KL_apartment). This study then proposes combining the hybrid-ARIMA-EM model with XGBoost to enhance the price forecasting performance in terms of time series analysis. Experimental results show that the suggested combination outperforms other selected models in price forecasting accuracy.
