Popis: Accurate natural gas consumption forecasting plays a significant role in production, supply, and dispatching. Therefore, in this study, a new multi-hybrid model methodology is proposed that combines both statistical and deep learning models to obtain better prediction results beyond individual models or constrained hybrid models in linear and non-linear modeling. Here, long-term natural gas consumption future forecast analyzes were per-formed for the USA natural gas vehicle fuel (NG-VFC) dataset from January 1997 to October 2021 and for the USA natural gas industrial consumption (NG-IC) dataset between January 2001 and October 2021. The values obtained as a result of the analyzes using multi-hybrid models based on statistical and deep learning models were evaluated with popular metric values such as mean absolute percentage error and mean absolute scaled error within reference measures. In all analyzes using NG-VFC and NG-IC time series, the best MAPE values were obtained as 5.40% and 3.19% for afnt (equi-weighted) and af (CV-weighted) multi-hybrid models, respectively. While the first of the equi-weighted and CV-weighted approaches featured here required less computation time, the latter required more computation time. In terms of prediction accuracy, the suggested multi-hybrid model outperforms most existing state-of-the-art approaches without sacrificing time or memory complexity.
