Carbon Price Forecasting Using a Parameters Simultaneous Optimized Least Squares Support Vector Machine with Uniform Design

This chapter augments the least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) approach of forecasting carbon prices by adding the uniform design (UD) feature. Compared with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) feature, uniform design displays optimization efficiency advantages in complex (low/high) carbon price environments.
