Abstract

In this study, we predicted the employment ratio by the export industry using various machine learning methods and verified whether the prediction performance is improved by applying the constrained forecast combination method to these predicted values. In particular, the constrained forecast combination method is known to improve the prediction accuracy and stability by imposing the sum of predicted values' weights up to one. In addition, this study considered various variables affecting the employment ratio of each industry, and so we adopted recursive feature elimination method that allows efficient use of machine learning methods. As a result, the constrained forecast combination showed more accurate prediction performance than the predicted values of the machine learning methods, and in particular, the stability of the prediction performance of the constrained forecast combination was higher than that of other machine learning methods.

본 연구는 우리나라 수출 분야의 산업별 고용비중을 다양한 머신러닝 기법을 활용하여 예측하고, 예측성능을 높이기 위하여 머신러닝 기법 예측값들에 예측조합 기법을 적용하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 각 머신러닝 기법 예측값들에 부여되는 가중치의 합을 1로 설정하는 제약하의 예측조합 기법을 사용하여 예측의 정확성과 안정성을 확보하고자 하였다. 또한, 본 연구는 산업별 고용비중에 영향을 주는 다양한 변수를 고려하기 위하여 재귀적특성제거 방법을 사용하여 주요 변수를 선별한 후, 머신러닝 기법에 적용함으로써 예측과정 상에서의 효율성을 높였다. 분석결과, 예측조합 방법에 따른 예측값은 머신러닝 기법의 예측값들보다 실제의 산업 고용비중에 근접한 것으로 나타났으며, 머신러닝 기법의 예측값들이 큰 변동성을 보이는 것과 달리 제약하의 예측조합 기법은 안정적인 예측값을 나타내었다.
