Although there exist several forecasting techniques, selection of the most appropriate technique is of great importance. One of the forecasting techniques which has proved successful in prediction is GM(1, N). In order to clarify the interaction mechanism of driving variables and improve the accuracy of the model, a new model which is based on the development trend of multiple driving variables, abbreviated as TMGM (1, N), is proposed. Firstly, a new forecast model of the development trend of the driving variables is established in order to make better use of the interaction mechanism of the driving variables. On the basis of that, the new grey model TMGM (1, N) is constructed. Meanwhile, the solution to the model parameters are derived on the least square method. And the time response formula is solved by the convolution integral to make up the defects of the solving method of traditional model GM(1, N). Finally, a real application about the forecast of the total electricity consumption in Jiangsu Province is used to demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of the TMGM(1, N) model. The results indicate the superiority of TMGM(1, N) model when compared with GM(1, N) model and TGM(1, N) model.","PeriodicalId":425920,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Grey Systems and Intelligent Services (GSIS)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128734354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modeling theories that are developed on the basis of binary outcomes and precise reliability information lack sufficient abilities to describe the above phenomena. In this paper, grey system theory and Bayesian network are employed to analyze the reliability of complex system. First, interval grey number is applied to represent the performance state as well as the conditional probability, which can avoid the loss of important reliability information. Second, the intervals of reliability characteristic parameters such as fault rate and posterior probability are obtained with Bayesian network inference and grey global optimization algorithm. Afterwards, vulnerable components and probabilities of possible states can be identified by using comparison rules of interval grey numbers, which is conducive to reliability analysis and fault diagnosis of complex system. Finally, a case about civil aircraft hydraulic system is studied, showing that the proposed approach is effective and convenient for reliability modelling and analysis of multi-state and uncertain systems.","PeriodicalId":425920,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Grey Systems and Intelligent Services (GSIS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121422007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper provides a quantitative method to study the trend of Chinese social donation. Grey system theory has been used into economy, administration, society and other fields. The reason is that grey system theory can deal with partially unknown parameters in a system and predict behavior of unknown system within a small data. So grey system theory is superiority to other ways. In order to improve precise, grey system theory is introduced into social donation to explain the phenomenon of social donation. Grey system theory consists of grey Verhulst model and grey relative degree. There is a distinct difference between grey Verhulst model and linear equation because of grey Verhulst model can greatly eliminate the stimulation error in small data. Therefore the reliability of predictive model for social donation is examined by Grey Verhulst model and a relationship of both variables for soical donation and foundation is demonstrated by grey relative degree in the small data. According to the original data of Chinese social donation from China Civil Affairs' Statistical Yearbook as well as China Civil Affairs' website between 2012 and 2016, the original data of social donation has meet basic condition of prediction because the data with S-shaped curve indicates growth saturation by simulation. Based on law of data fitting, model of social donation is built and make calculation by formula of grey Verhulst model. This way needn't take a leap from difference equation to differential equation and this model is tested by mean relative error, predictive value along with relative error by inverse accumulated generating operation. Briefly speaking, the patterns of social donation will be identified by the following steps to achieve high forecast accuracy in small data. Original sequences are (572.50, 566.40, 604.40, 654.50, 827.00). The new sequences are generated by 1-IAGO (Inverse Accumulated Generating Operation) from the original data sequences for (572.5000, −6.1000, 38.0000, 50.1000, 172.5000). Mean generation with consecutive neighbors is (569.4500, 585.4000, 629.4500, 740.7500).

The results show that when both of the competing firms are engaged in R&D activities, consumers prefer domestic products, and with the improvement of technological level, this preference grows stronger, but the market share of the multinational enterprise is higher than that of local enterprises. When the two competing enterprises are engaged in manufacturing activities, consumers are more inclined to choose products of the multinational company, and with the increasing dependence on production factors, the preference becomes stronger. Meanwhile the market share of the multinational company is higher than the local enterprise. Therefore, from the perspective of consumer preference, China's domestic equipment manufacturing enterprises should choose technology-intensive or technology & labor-intensive industries (or dual-intensive industries).","PeriodicalId":425920,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Grey Systems and Intelligent Services (GSIS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116642574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
