Popis: This paper presents an approach to predictive modeling of sequentially arriving data, also known as a stream. Because of their unique properties, this kind of data requires different mining techniques. The ultimate limitations are the memory and the time. Since the number of records can be infinite, it is not possible to store them all in memory or read them more than once. Hence, the prediction method should work incrementally. Another important aspect of these data is that their characteristics change over time. The identification of the ongoing change in the monitored data sequence, also called "concept drift", can significantly help to improve prediction accuracy by prediction model adaptation to the drifts. The challenge is to perform these model adaptations online. We have proposed an incremental adaptive method for time series prediction. Our approach is based on the adaptive learning scheme "predict – diagnose – update". The main concern was to find out whether our error-driven informed adaptation approach can equal the traditional blind adaptation approaches in accuracy and required resources such as time and memory. The results showed that informed adaptation can achieve comparable accuracy but uses less computational resources. We focused specifically on power demand forecasting but we showed that the approach is applicable also on time series with similar characteristics from other domains.
