Enhance interval width of crime forecasting with ARIMA model-fuzzy alpha cut

With qualified data or information a better decision can be made. The interval width of forecasting is one of data values to assist in the selection decision making process in regards to crime prevention. However, in time series forecasting, especially the use of ARIMA model, the amount of historical data available can affect forecasting result including interval width forecasting value. This study proposes a combination technique, in order to get get a better interval width crime forecasting value. The propose combination technique between ARIMA model and Fuzzy Alpha Cut are presented. The use of variation alpha values are used, they are 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7. The experimental results have shown the use of ARIMA-FAC with alpha=0.5 is appropriate. The overall results obtained have shown the interval width crime forecasting with ARIMA-FAC is better than interval width crime forecasting with 95% CI ARIMA model
