\subsection{Generalizability of the Methology and Findings}
|
||
|
\label{generalizability}
|
||
|
|
||
|
Whereas forecasting applications are always data-specific, the following
|
||
|
aspects generalize to UDPs with ad-hoc transportation services:
|
||
|
\begin{itemize}
|
||
|
\item \textbf{Double Seasonality}:
|
||
|
The double seasonality causes a periodicity $k$ too large to be modeled by
|
||
|
classical models, and we adapt the STL method in the \textit{fnaive} model
|
||
|
such that it "flexibly" fits a seasonal pattern changing in a non-trivial
|
||
|
way over time.
|
||
|
\item \textbf{Order Sparsity}:
|
||
|
The intermittent time series resulting from gridification require simple
|
||
|
methods like \textit{hsma} or \textit{trivial} that are not as susceptible
|
||
|
to noise as more sophisticated ones.
|
||
|
\item \textbf{Unified CV}:
|
||
|
A CV unified around a whole day allows evaluating classical statistical and ML
|
||
|
methods on the same scale.
|
||
|
It is agnostic of both the type of the time series and retraining.
|
||
|
\item \textbf{Error Measure}:
|
||
|
Analogous to \cite{hyndman2006}, we emphasize the importance of choosing a
|
||
|
consistent error measure, and argue for increased use of MASE.
|
||
|
\end{itemize}
