Mitigating the Multicollinearity Problem and Its Machine Learning Approach: A Review

Technologies have driven big data collection across many fields, such as genomics and business intelligence. This results in a significant increase in variables and data points (observations) collected and stored. Although this presents opportunities to better model the relationship between predictors and the response variables, this also causes serious problems during data analysis, one of which is the multicollinearity problem. The two main approaches used to mitigate multicollinearity are variable selection methods and modified estimator methods. However, variable selection methods may negate efforts to collect more data as new data may eventually be dropped from modeling, while recent studies suggest that optimization approaches via machine learning handle data with multicollinearity better than statistical estimators. Therefore, this study details the chronological developments to mitigate the effects of multicollinearity and up-to-date recommendations to better mitigate multicollinearity.

A Fuzzy Seasonal Long Short-Term Memory Network for Wind Power Forecasting

To protect the environment and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reducing greenhouse gas emissions has been actively promoted by global governments. Thus, clean energy, such as wind power, has become a very important topic among global governments. However, accurately forecasting wind power output is not a straightforward task. The present study attempts to develop a fuzzy seasonal long short-term memory network (FSLSTM) that includes the fuzzy decomposition method and long short-term memory network (LSTM) to forecast a monthly wind power output dataset. LSTM technology has been successfully applied to forecasting problems, especially time series problems. This study first adopts the fuzzy seasonal index into the fuzzy LSTM model, which effectively extends the traditional LSTM technology. The FSLSTM, LSTM, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), generalized regression neural network (GRNN), back propagation neural network (BPNN), least square support vector regression (LSSVR), and seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models are then used to forecast monthly wind power output datasets in Taiwan. The empirical results indicate that FSLSTM can obtain better performance in terms of forecasting accuracy than the other methods. Therefore, FSLSTM can efficiently provide credible prediction values for Taiwan’s wind power output datasets.
