Abstract:
[Objective] To forecast the trend of incident rate of Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome(HFRS)in Shanghai.
[Methods] Grey model (1, 1)and Exponential Smoothing model were applied to forecast incident rate of HFRS in Shanghai.
[Results] Grey model(1, 1)forecast equation was& #374;=(1.49-2.3669/0.5823)e-0.5823t+2.3669/0.5823 and fitness test analysis showed that Grey model was a good model for incident rate forecasting. By comparing sum of squared residuals and root mean squared error, Holter-Winters Exponential Smoothing forecasting was a best Exponential Smoothing method for HFRS, and D-W test also certificated to it.
[Conclusion] Both Grey model (1, 1)and Holter-Winters Exponential Smoothing method are both suitable for forecasting HFRS incident rate.
