Abstract
ABSTRACT: Forecast the price of agricultural goods is a beneficial action for farmers, marketing agents, consumers, and policymakers. Today, managing this product security requires price forecasting models that are both efficient and reliable for a country’s import and export. In the last few decades, the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model has been widely used in economics time series forecasting. Recently, many of the time series observations presented in economics have been clearly shown to be nonlinear, Machine learning (ML) modelling, conversely, offers a potential price forecasting technique that is more flexible given the limited data available in most countries’ economies. In this research, a hybrid price forecasting model has been used, through a novel clustering technique, a new cluster selection algorithm and a multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN), which had many advantages and using monthly time series of Thai rice FOB price form November 1987 to October 2017. The empirical results of this study showed that the value of root mean square error (RMSE) equals 14.37 and the Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) equals 4.09% for the hybrid model. The evaluation results of proposed method and comparison its performance with four benchmark models, by monthly time series of Thailand rice FOB price from November 1987 to October 2017 showed the outperform of proposed method.
