TIME SERIES MODELING OF NATURAL GAS FUTURE PRICE WITH FUZZY TIME SERIES CHEN, LEE AND TSAUR

Abstract

Investment is the process of investing money or capital for profit or material results. The investor carefully calculates the investment object to minimize losses and maximize profits. One of the essential investment objects is the futures price of natural gas considered a commodity that plays a vital role in the Indonesian economy. The movement of natural gas futures prices can be modeled using a time series model. The data in the time series model is believed to have particular pattern to model the data in the future. The natural gas futures price is modeled into a time series method by using fuzzy time series (FTS) approach of the FTS Chen, Lee and Tsaur. Model accuracy is calculated using the criteria of Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The three FTS methods have good performance of accuracy for this time series data, where FTS Tsaur as fuzzy times series approach with average based method shows the best results with the smallest error rate to the data of natural gas future price.
