An Attempt to Employ Genetic Fuzzy Systems to Predict from a Data Stream of Premises Transactions

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNAI,volume 7520)

Abstract

An approach to apply ensembles of genetic fuzzy systems, built over the chunks of a data stream, to aid in residential premises valuation was proposed. The approach consists in incremental expanding an ensemble by systematically generated models in the course of time. The output of aged component models produced for current data is updated according to a trend function reflecting the changes of premises prices since the moment of individual model generation. An experimental evaluation of the proposed method using real-world data taken from a dynamically changing real estate market revealed its advantage in terms of predictive accuracy.
