The selection of a good model for forecasting a time series is a task that involves experience and knowledge. Employing machine learning algorithms is a promising approach to acquiring knowledge in regards to this task. A supervised classification method originating from the symbolic data analysis field is proposed for the model selection problem. This method was applied in the task of selecting between two widespread models, and compared to other learning algorithms. To date, it has obtained the lowest classification errors among all the tested algorithms. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
