Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 統計學研究所 === 82 === Representations of dynamic data are always different as the time interval or measuring tool change. We call these characteristics of uncertainty fuzziness. But traditional time series use crisp observations to record a fuzzy dynamic process. To completely represent, we consider fuzzy time series replacing the crisp numbers with fuzzy sets and preserve original fuzziness. In this paper, the fuzzy autoregressive model (FAR model) of fuzzy time series is studied and used to forecast the Central government expenditure and exchange rates, respectively. The modeling process is according to Box- Jenkins'' (1970) method of ARMA model and merged with the fuzzy set theory proposed by Zadeh (1965). Reasonable human judgements and ways of thinking are taken into consideration throughout the modeling process to make the FAR model more elastic and appropriate for forecasting. Unlike certain incorrectly identified models which lead to inaccurate forecasts, the FAR model can be widely applied due to its not having any assumptions on the original time series (e.g., linearity and stationarity). Finally, the performances of the FAR model to Central government expenditure and exchange rates are compared with that of the traditional ARMA model. Additionally, some properties about fuzzy time series, e.g., fuzzy trend and fuzzy stationary, have not been studied in the literature, and we propose definitions and new opinions.
