Structural Prediction Algorithms

摘要

A structural approach to the forecasting problem is considered. The idea of this approach is that for each object of the system under study it is necessary to forecast only its belonging to a certain structural unit (class) within the framework of the selected structure of the considered set of objects. The description of the basic structural predicting algorithm is given. Then, additional constraints are introduced that must be satisfied by the structural prediction results. These limitations may arise from the physical properties of the objects in question or may be set by experts. New algorithms of structural forecasting are described taking into account constraints of different nature.
