Abstract

In this paper, a novel grey prediction model is proposed to enhance the performance of prediction for the amount of fixed-line and cellular phone subscribers in Japan. The cubic spline function is first integrated into grey prediction model to enhance its prediction capability. Then the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is applied, so that the prediction performance can be improved further. The prediction results using proposed models are very satisfactory.
