• Abstract: Time-Series Forecasting is a powerful data modeling discipline that analyzes historical observations to predict future values of a time-series. It has been utilized in numerous applications, including but not limited to economics, meteorology, and health. In this paper, we use time-series forecasting techniques to model and predict the future incidence of chickenpox. To achieve this, we implement and simulate multiple models and data preprocessing techniques on a Hungary-collected dataset. We demonstrate that the LSTM model outperforms all other models in the vast majority of the experiments in terms of county-level forecasting, whereas the SARIMAX model performs best at the national level. We also demonstrate that the performance of the traditional data preprocessing method is inferior to that of the data preprocessing method that we have proposed.

  Current practices for evaluating and comparing forecasting models focus on summarising performance into a single score. We propose a novel framework for evaluating models from multiple perspectives. We show the advantages of this framework by comparing a state-of-the-art deep learning approach with classical forecasting techniques.

  Scaling law that rewards large datasets, complex models and enhanced data granularity has been observed in various fields of deep learning. Yet, studies on time series forecasting have cast doubt on scaling behaviors of deep learning methods for time series forecasting. We propose a theory for scaling law for time series forecasting that can explain these seemingly abnormal behaviors.
