TY - JOUR TI - Analysis model for forecasting extreme temperature using refined rank set pair AU - Qiao Ling-Xia AU - Zhang Yin AU - Ma Wan-Ying AU - Yang Xiao-Hua AU - Li Jian-Qiang JN - Thermal Science PY - 2013 VL - 17 IS - 5 SP - 1369 EP - 1374 PT - Article AB - In order to improve the precision of forecasting extreme temperature time series, a refined rank set pair analysis model with a refined rank transformation function is proposed to improve precision of its prediction. The measured values of the annual highest temperature of two China’s cities, Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, in July are taken to examine the performance of a refined rank set pair model.
