Modele prognostyczne oparte na logice rozmytej: aplikacja dotycząca międzynarodowych cen kawy

W ostatnich dziesięcioleciach rozmyte szeregi czasowe stały się konkurencyjnym, czasem uzupełniającym, podejściem wobec klasycznych metod analizy szeregów czasowych, takich jak metoda Boxa-Jenkinsa. Prezentowane badanie ma dwa różne cele: cel teoretyczny, w którym przedstawiono przegląd logiki rozmytej i modeli rozmytych szeregów czasowych, oraz cel praktyczny, którym jest oszacowanie i prognoza miesięcznych międzynarodowych cen kawy w okresie 2000-2022. Analiza i prognozowanie dynamiki cen kawy ma duże znaczenie dla producentów, konsumentów i uczestników rynku w zarządzaniu i podejmowaniu racjonalnych decyzji. Wyniki pokazały, że międzynarodowe ceny kawy wykazywały duże wahania, z dużymi wzrostami i spadkami, na które wpływ miał głównie poziom czołowych producentów. Zgodnie z wynikami prognoz należy spodziewać się spadku cen w ciągu najbliższych sześciu miesięcy (od stycznia do czerwca 2023 r.). Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników można stwierdzić, że modele FTS są bardziej elastyczne i mogą być stosowane w prognozowaniu zmiennych szeregów czasowych. Z drugiej strony zmienność, a czasami nieoczekiwane zmiany cen kawy nadal powodują coraz większą krytykę i sygnalizują, że należy zwrócić uwagę na różne kwestie dotyczące roli rynków i państw w zapewnianiu bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego.

In recent decades, Fuzzy Time Series (FTS) has become a competitive, sometimes complementary, approach to classical time series methods such as that of Box-Jenkins. This study has two different purposes: a theoretical purpose, presenting an overview of the fuzzy logic and fuzzy time series models, and a practical purpose, which is to estimate and forecast monthly international coffee prices during the period 2000-2022. Analysing and forecasting the dynamics of coffee prices is of great interest to producers, consumers, and other market actors in managing and making rational decisions. The findings showed that international coffee prices exhibited significant fluctuations, with large increases and decreases influenced mainly by the level of top-ranked producers. The forecasted results revealed that a decrease in prices during the next six months (Jan 2023 to June 2023) is expected. Based on the results, it is also clear that the FTS models are more flexible and can be applied in forecasting time-series variables. At the same time, volatility and, sometimes, the unexpected swingsin coffee prices continue to draw more criticism and raise different issues regarding the roles of the markets and countries in ensuring food security.
