Deep Fusion Prediction Method for Nonstationary Time Series Based on Feature Augmentation and Extraction.

Deep learning effectively identifies and predicts modes but faces performance reduction under few-shot learning conditions. In this paper, a time series prediction framework for small samples is proposed, including a data augmentation algorithm, time series trend decomposition, multi-model prediction, and error-based fusion. First, data samples are augmented by retaining and extracting time series features. Second, the expanded data are decomposed based on data trends, and then, multiple deep models are used for prediction. Third, the models' predictive outputs are combined with an error estimate from the intersection of covariances. Finally, the method is verified using natural systems and classic small-scale simulation datasets. The results show that the proposed method can improve the prediction accuracy of small sample sets with data augmentation and multi-model fusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
