Forecasting economic indicators using a consumer sentiment index: Survey‐based versus text‐based data

Given the confirmed effectiveness of the survey‐based consumer sentiment index (CSI) as a leading indicator of real economic conditions, the CSI is actively used in making policy judgments and decisions in many countries. However, although the CSI offers qualitative information for presenting current conditions and predicting a household's future economic activity, the survey‐based method has several limitations. In this context, we extracted sentiment information from online economic news articles and demonstrated that the Korean cases are a good illustration of applying a text mining technique when generating a CSI using sentiment analysis. By applying a simple sentiment analysis based on the lexicon approach, this paper confirmed that news articles can be an effective source for generating an economic indicator in Korea. Even though cross‐national comparative research results are suited better than national‐level data to generalize and verify the method used in this study, international comparisons are quite challenging to draw due to the necessary linguistic preprocessing. We hope to encourage further cross‐national comparative research to apply the approach proposed in this study.

Which survey indicators are useful for monitoring consumption? Evidence from European countries

This paper assesses the information content of two survey indicators for consumption developments in the near future for eight European countries in the period 1985–1998. Empirical work on this topic typically focuses on consumer confidence, the perceptions of buyers of consumption goods. This paper examines whether perceptions of sellers of consumption goods, measured by retail trade surveys, may also improve short‐term monitoring of consumption. We find that both consumer confidence and retailer confidence embody valuable information, when analysed in isolation. For France, Italy and Spain we conclude that adding retail confidence does not improve the indicator model once consumer confidence has been included. For the UK the reverse case is obtained. For the remaining four countries we show that combining consumer sentiment and retail trade confidence into a composite indicator leads to optimal results. Our results suggest that incorporating information from retail trade surveys may offer significant benefits for the analysis of short‐term prospects of consumption.

基于v-支持向量机的边际电价预测及置信区间估计

引入v-支持向量机，通过构造和求解一个凸优化问题，同时实现了对边际电价的预测和对置信区间的估计，且无需假定预测偏差的概率分布．在v-支持向量回归中，当ε〉0时，v是错误样本的个数占总样本个数份额的上界．利用该性质，边际电价预测的置信度和置信区间可以很自然地用参数1-v和变量ε来表示，这为发电公司进行竞价方案的风险分析打下了很好的基础．算例仿真表明，该方法具有较好的泛化性能和较高的预测精度．     

基于Bayes近似限法的串联系统置信区间的求解

运用基于Bayes的方法对红外空空导弹进行抗干扰性能评估时,只能分别得到导引头和导弹控制系统的抗干扰概率P<,g>、P<,c>及其置信区间,而难以求出导弹复杂系统的抗干扰概率在一定的置信度下的置信区间.针对该问题,提出用Bayes近似限的方法拟合导弹导引头、控制系统的整个串联系统的抗干扰概率的分布,得出该复杂系统的置信度为y的近似置信区间的求解公式,并给出导弹串联系统数字仿真中抗干扰概率的置信区间的求解实例,对该求解方法的正确性进行了验证.
