GM11 Convolutional Forecasting

Multi-Processing

1. Put objects of gm0n, gm1n or gm11 into their own arrays.
   
2. Run specific functions are: grey.run.gm0n(array), grey.run.gm1n(array) or grey.run.gm11(array).
   
3. Enumerate the arrays, or enumerate .run.gm0n(), .run.gm1n() and .run.gm11() they returned arrays.

# multiprocessing examples:
# for GM0N, GM1N
queue = []
queue.append(gm0n.deepcopy())
queue.append(gm0n.deepcopy())
queue.append(gm0n.deepcopy())

Note

卷積的部份，是跑 2 層的 GM11:

1 -> 2 -> 3, 預測 4

2 -> 3 -> 4, 預測 5

3 -> 4 -> 5, 預測 6

... 其餘類推

之後會把預測 4，5，6 再丟進去 GM11 跑最終結果。等於是先做一次特徵提取，第 1 層提取每一個區間的預測輸出，再對這預測輸出做平均誤差的修正，而後再丟入第 2 層的 GM11 去做總輸出。
