Abstract
Methods based on artificial neural networks for intuitionistic fuzzy time series forecasting can produce successful forecasting results. In the literature, exponential smoothing methods are hybridised with artificial neural networks due to their simple and efficient structures to improve the forecasting performance. The contribution of this paper is to propose a new forecasting approach combining exponential smoothing methods and intuitionistic fuzzy time series. In this study, a forecasting algorithm based on the dendrite neuron model and simple exponential smoothing methods is proposed for modelling intuitionistic fuzzy time series. In the fuzzification stage of the proposed method, the intuitionistic fuzzy c-means method is used. The proposed method is a modular method using two separate dendrite neuron model neural networks and the grey wolf optimisation algorithm is used to estimate all parameters of the method. The performance of the proposed method is applied on four different random time series obtained for Index of Coin Market Cap and the performance of the method is compared with some other fuzzy forecasting methods. As a result of the analyses, it is concluded that the proposed modular method has better forecasting results than other methods.

1 Introduction
Fuzzy sets were first proposed by Zadeh (1965). Fuzzy sets have been used and are useful in many important studies in the literature. Chen and Chen (2002), and Lin et al. (2006) used fuzzy sets in the construction of fuzzy inference systems as decision support systems. Chen and Lee (2010) utilised fuzzy sets for solving decision-making problems.

Intuitionistic fuzzy sets have an extended definition of fuzzy sets and have an additional dimension for uncertainty. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are proposed by Atanassov (1986). Chen and Randyanto (2013), Zou et al. (2020) and Meng et al. (2020) contributed and used intuitionistic fuzzy sets literature. In the literature, it has been observed that forecasting methods based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets have been developed and successful forecasting results can be obtained.

(2023) proposed a computational-based partitioning intuitionistic fuzzy time series forecasting method.
When the literature is examined, the need to use both membership and non-membership values leads to the need for more complicated modelling methods in intuitionistic fuzzy time series methods. Another problem is whether the intuitionistic fuzzy time series method should be studied with an approach that uses membership and non-membership values at the same time or with a dual approach with two different models using membership and non-membership values separately and finally a combination of these models. In the literature, the dual approach is generally preferred. The dual approach is based on optimising two different models with two separate and independent optimisation processes. In addition, a third optimisation process is required to combine the outputs of the two models. This leads to the emergence of three different modelling errors. The motivation of this paper is to present an approach that can solve three different modelling error problems and simplification of the model problem. Although intuitionistic fuzzy time series forecasting methods require complicated modelling tools, it is known in the literature that complicated methods may have worse forecasting performance than simple forecasting methods and complicated methods bring memorisation problems. Another motivation for this study is to transform the intuitionistic fuzzy time series method from complicated to simple.
In this study, all weights of two separate dendrite neuron models, one of which works with membership values and the other with non-membership values, are estimated in a single grey wolf optimisation process. In addition, the parameters used in combining the outputs of two dendritic neuron models and combining the final model with exponential smoothing are estimated in the same grey wolf optimisation process. The method proposed in this study combines the output of the intuitionistic fuzzy time series method with the exponential smoothing mechanism, allowing the forecasting method to transform into a simple forecasting method or the method to produce combined forecasts with the forecasts of the simple forecasting method and complicated forecasting method. In this respect, the method has the advantage of having an adaptive and modular structure. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a new forecasting approach that combines the traditional time series forecasting method, the simple exponential smoothing method, with the contemporary forecasting method, the intuitionistic fuzzy time series method.
The other sections of the paper are as follows. In the second part of the study, general information about grey wolf optimisation, intuitionistic fuzzy c-means and the dendrite neuron model is presented. In the third section, the proposed method is introduced. In the fourth section, the application of the proposed method and performance comparison results are explained with the help of tables and graphs.
2 The general information
In this section, summarising information about grey wolf optimisation, intuitionistic fuzzy c-means and dendrite neuron model are presented under subheadings, respectively.
2.1 Grey wolf optimisation algorithm
The grey wolf optimisation algorithm is a meta-heuristic AI optimisation algorithm inspired by the intelligent behaviour of grey wolf packs, proposed by Mirjalili et al. (2014). The method is applied in main steps such as hunting, searching for prey, encircling prey, and attacking prey. The main working logic of grey wolf optimisation is that alpha, beta and delta wolves direct omega wolves according to the order of hierarchy in the hierarchy within the pack and imitate this hierarchical structure. The working logic of the grey wolf optimisation algorithm is given in the following algorithm.
Algorithm 1 Grey wolf optimiser
Step 1. The initial population is created. Uniform distribution is used to generate positions.
Step 2. Alpha, beta, and delta solutions are determined. These are the three best solutions in the population.
Step 3. For each agent in the population, a new agent is created by utilising alpha beta and delta solutions.
Step 4. The population is updated according to whether improvement is achieved with the new solutions obtained. Step 5. Alpha, beta and delta solutions are updated. Here, the previous three best solutions are compared with the new three best solutions.
Step 6. Stop conditions are checked. Steps 3–5 are continued until the stopping conditions are met. If the stop conditions are met, proceed to Step 7. The stop condition is activated when the fitness value does not improve for ten consecutive iterations.
Step 7. The alpha solution is obtained as the solution of the optimisation problem. At this stage, the algorithm reaches the best solution result.
2.2 Intuitionistic fuzzy c-means
Although many different methods are used in clustering data, fuzzy clustering methods offer realistic solutions, especially for the grading of universal cluster elements close to cluster boundaries. In intuitionistic fuzzy clustering, both membership and non-membership values carry two separate important information due to the presence of degrees of hesitation. In the heuristic fuzzy c-means method, iterative equations similar to fuzzy c-means are used to calculate membership values and centres. Let \({u}_{ik}\) denote the membership value of an element of the i-th universal set belonging to the k-th set. Let \({d}_{ik}\) denote the distance value of an element of the i-th universal set belonging to the k-th set. Membership values are calculated with the following formula in intuitionistic fuzzy c-means.
In Eq. (1), \(c\) is the number of fuzzy sets, \(n\) is the number of observations and m is the fuzziness index. Equation (2) is used in the calculation of hesitation degrees. This equation allows obtaining small hesitation values for membership values close to zero and one, and high hesitation values for membership values close to 0.5.
The values of \({u}_{ik}^{*}\) given in Eq. (3) indicate the fuzzy membership value consisting of the sum of the heuristic membership and the degree of hesitation.
Fuzzy membership values are used in the calculation of cluster centres with Eq. (4).
In this formula, \({x}_{k}\) denotes the kth data point.
By controlling the magnitude of the change in the membership values, the algorithm of the intuitionistic fuzzy c-means method is obtained with the successive use of the given formulas.
With the application of intuitionistic fuzzy clustering, membership, non-membership and hesitation values of each observation for each cluster can be obtained.
2.3 Dendrite neuron model
In the literature, different models of the biological neuron can be written. A good mathematical model of the biological neuron is the dendrite neuron model. The dendrite neuron model (DNM) was first proposed by Todo et al. (2014). The dendrite neuron model artificial neural network consists of synaptic, dendrite, membrane and soma layers. In the synaptic layer, different non-linear transformations of all inputs are performed. A separate transformation of each input is performed in each dendrite branch.
In Eq. (5), index \(i\) indicates the input and \(j\) indicates the dendrtie branch. In the dendrite layer, the inputs for each dendrite are combined with a multiplicative merging function using Eq. (6). Thus, each dendrite branch has an output.
In the membrane layer, the information from the branches is combined with the aggregation function as given in Eq. (7).
In the Soma layer, the nonlinear transformation given in Eq. (8) is applied to obtain the output.
Although various training algorithms have been proposed in the literature for training the dendrite neuron model, it is known that artificial intelligence optimisation algorithms can produce successful results for training this network. In the dendrite neuron model, the number of dendrite branches is considered as a hyperparameter and the value of this parameter can be determined by various methods. In the application of artificial intelligence optimisation algorithms, the mean value of the error squares calculated over the training set is preferred as the fitness function.
3 Proposed method
In this study, a new hybrid of intuitionistic fuzzy time series forecasting method and simple exponential smoothing method is proposed. The proposed method can transform into a simple exponential smoothing method by adjusting itself according to the data set. In the proposed method, the time series of interest can be predicted with a complex prediction model or a simple prediction model, or it is possible to realise the weighted prediction of these two approaches. In this respect, the proposed method has a modular and adaptive structure. An important feature of the proposed method is that all parameters in the model can be estimated with a single grey wolf optimiser.
The operation processes of the proposed method are given in Fig. 1. In the proposed method, the real observations of the time series are clustered and membership and non-membership values are obtained for each observation according to the number of predetermined heuristic fuzzy clusters. The outputs of the dendrite neuron models created separately for membership and non-membership values are combined with simple exponential smoothing to obtain the final forecasts. The step-by-step algorithm of the proposed method is given below.
Algorithm 2 The proposed method
Step 1. Possible parameter values of the method are determined. These parameters are listed below.
\(c\): The number of intuitionistic fuzzy clusters
\(p\): The number of lagged variables
\(nd\): The number of dendrite branches
\(ntrain\): The length of the training set
\(nval\): The length of the validation set
\(ntest\): The length of the test set
The possible values of these parameters can be determined according to the components of the analysed time series.
Step 2. Time series data are divided into three as training, validation and test data. The last \(ntest\) of the time series is separated as test data and the remaining initial time series is separated as training data as given in Eqs. (9)–(12).
The training set is used to determine the optimal weight and side values, the validation set is used to select the hyperparameters, and the test data are used for comparisons with alternative methods.
Step 3. The intuitionistic fuzzy c means method is applied to the training data. The matrices of membership (\(\mu )\) and non-membership \((\gamma\)) values are calculated as given in Eqs. (13)–(14).
In the application of the heuristic fuzzy c averages method, the fuzziness index (m) is taken as 2 and the alpha as 0.85.
Step 4. Lagged variables are obtained for each column of the matrices of membership and non-membership values. Thus, delayed membership and non-membership matrices that will be input to dendrite neuron models are obtained as given in Eqs. (15)–(16).
These values are prepared to form inputs to the artificial neural network used.
Step 5. The parameters of the modular neural network architecture given in Fig. 2 are estimated by grey wolf optimisation algorithm. Figure 2, the inputs of the network are the lagged variables of memberships and non-memberships for all clusters.
The output of the proposed method is given in the following equations. Synaptic layer calculations can be handled in two parts. In Eq. (17), synaptic calculations are performed with membership values, whilst in Eq. (18), synaptic calculations can be performed with non-membership values.
For membership values, the output of the dendrite branch (\({Z}_{j}^{\mu })\) is calculated by Eq. (19) and for non-membership values, the output of the dendrite branch (\({Z}_{j}^{\gamma })\) is calculated by Eq. (20).
The outputs of the membrane layer are similarly calculated by Eqs. (21)–(22) based on membership and non-membership values.
The outputs of the Soma layer are calculated by Eqs. (23) and (24).
The final output of the dendrite neural network is A, which is the linear combination of the outputs from the membership and non-membership values. This output is calculated by Eq. (25).
The output of the proposed method is calculated as the linear combination of the one-step lagged variable and the intuitionistic fuzzy time series part by Eq. (26).
The grey wolf optimisation algorithm aims to minimise the mean value of the error squares calculated for the training set. The optimisation problem to be solved with grey wolf optimiser is a constrained multivariate optimisation problem and is shown as given in Eq. (27).
In Eq. (27), \(\Xi\) denotes all parameters in the proposed method and its elements are as follows.
\({W}^{\left(1\right)}\),\({W}^{\left(2\right)}\), \({\Theta }^{\left(1\right)}\) and \({\Theta }^{\left(2\right)}\) are \(p\times c\times nd\) dimensional matrices. \({k}_{{\text{soma}}}^{\mu },{\theta }_{{\text{soma}}}^{\mu },{k}_{{\text{soma}}}^{\gamma },{\theta }_{{\text{soma}}}^{\gamma },w\) and \(\lambda\) are scalars. In addition, \(w\) (\(0\le w\le 1\)) and \(\lambda\) \(\left(0\le \lambda \le 1\right)\) may have restricted values in the range between zero and one.
Algorithm 1 is used to solve the optimisation problem (27). In using this algorithm, the values of the solutions corresponding to \(w\) and \(\lambda\) are constrained by Eq. (28).
Step 6. In step 4, forecasts for the validation set are obtained using the optimised parameter values. The best hyperparameter values \({c}_{best}\), \({p}_{best}\) and \({nd}_{best}\) are determined based on the validity set performance.
Step 7. The model is retrained using the best hyperparameter values (\({c}_{best}\), \({p}_{best}\) and \({nd}_{best}\)) and the test set forecasts are obtained.
4 Applications
In this study, four time series are used to compare the performance of the proposed method. The time series used in the application are divided into three parts as training-validation and test set. This allows for a more detailed and comprehensive comparison of the methods to be used in the analysis. In order to compare the performance of the proposed method, the Chen (2002) high-order fuzzy time series solution method, which is one of the classical fuzzy time series methods, the fuzzy time series method based on the multiplicative neuron model (FTS-SMN) proposed in Aladağ (2013), the picture fuzzy regression functions method (PFF) proposed in Bas et al. (2020), and the high-order univariate heuristic fuzzy time series prediction model (IFTS) method in Egrioglu et al. (2019) were used.
The first time series used in the application is the time series of the Index of Coin Market Cap opening prices (CMC-OPEN) between 12/07/2022 and 13/02/2023. The time series contains a total of 150 observations. The graph of the time series is given in Fig. 3. The time series is downloaded from the Yahoo Finance website (https://finance.yahoo.com/).
The results obtained by analysing the time series are given in Table 1. Table 1 presents the mean and standard deviation of the root of mean square error values for 30 different random initial weights. The results for the Chen (2002) method and the best hyperparameter setting are also given in Table 1.
In Table 1 and all other Tables, \({c}_{best}\) is the best number of clusters, \({p}_{best}\) is the best number of lagged variables and \({nd}_{best}\) is the best number of dendrite neurons. Also, (–) indicates that the method does not have a corresponding value for a cell of the table.
Table 1 shows that the mean statistics of the proposed method is smaller than all other methods

5 Conclusions
In this study, for the first time in the literature, a new forecasting method is proposed by integrating the intuitionistic fuzzy time series method with simple exponential smoothing. The dendrite neuron model artificial neural network, which works with delayed values of membership and non-membership values, is hybridised with exponential smoothing and a new architectural structure is presented. The main contribution of this paper is to introduce a new combined forecasting method to the literature.
The proposed method can balance between two simple and two complex forecasting models and can automatically increase the bias towards either one. It has been observed that the proposed method can produce more successful prediction results than the current prediction methods in the literature. Future studies may focus on the development of integrated prediction systems with different exponential smoothing methods. In addition, it is an important research problem to address the method in the concept of explainable artificial intelligence.
