Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) capture a large number of 3D points rapidly, with high precision and spatial resolution. These scanners are used for applications as diverse as modeling architectural or engineering structures, but also high-resolutio...

The current pandemic situation of SARS-Cov-2 is negatively influencing people worldwide, and leading to high mortality and excess mortality, due to more reasons than only the disease itself. Thus, forecasting of the mortality rates and consequent pop...

Simulation-based forecast model selection considers two candidate forecast model classes, simulates from both models fitted to data, applies both forecast models to simulated structures, and evaluates the relative benefit of each candidate prediction...

Real-world time series data often contain missing values due to human error, irregular sampling, or unforeseen equipment failure. The ability of a computational interpolation method to repair such data greatly depends on the characteristics of the ti...

This paper addresses the problem of the unsupervised approach of credit card fraud detection in unbalanced datasets using the ARIMA model. The ARIMA model is fitted to the regular spending behaviour of the customer and is used to detect fraud if some...

The Matrix Profile (MP) algorithm has the potential to revolutionise many areas of data analysis. In this article, several applications to financial time series are examined. Several approaches for the identification of similar behaviour patterns (or...

As the world’s largest exporter and second-largest importer, China has made exchange rate stability a top priority for its economic growth. With development over decades, however, China now holds excess dollar reserves that have suffered a huge paper...

Scrub typhus, an infectious disease caused by a bacterium transmitted by “chigger” mites, constitutes a public health problem in Thailand. Predicting epidemic peaks would allow implementing preventive measures locally. This study analyses the predict...

In the age of AI, companies strive to extract benefits from data. In the first steps of data analysis, an arduous dilemma scientists have to cope with is the definition of the ’right’ quantity of data needed for a certain task. In particular, when de...

Epidemiology maths resorts to Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR)-like models to describe contagion evolution curves for diseases such as Covid-19. Other time series estimation approaches can be used to fit and forecast curves. We use data from the...
