DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEWEST METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND FORECASTING IN THE CONTEXT OF MANAGEMENT OF ECONOMIC SYSTEMS (WITH THE USE OF FUZZY LOGIC TOOLS)

 

The importance of developing and attracting new methods of analysis and forecasting for management of economic systems is also conditioned by a significant inconsistency with the current conditions of widely used classical approaches, resulting in a significant increase in the number and magnitude of economic crises throughout the world during the last decade. Accordingly, the scientific research is devoted to the development of theoretical and methodological provisions and economic and mathematical models for the analysis and forecasting of the development of economic systems with the use of fuzzy logic tools.

Investment activity forms an important place in the formation of economic security. In order to increase the adequacy of modeling and analysis of these systems, it is essential to apply fuzzy logic methods, which is a methodology and a mathematical apparatus, which enables to set and mathematically reasonably solve even such problems, for which there is no any complete statistics, or in the case , when among the informative factors there are only qualitative indicators, while ensuring the possibility of adapting economic and mathematical models to changing economic conditions. For the application of models built on fuzzy logic, it is not mandatory to adhere to the hypothesis of compliance with normal distribution or statistical homogeneity of random processes, which is especially important for young markets that are actively developing, and in particular, Ukrainian.

It is shown that the common quantitative methods for identifying nonlinear dependencies are not adapted for using expert information about the object of research in the form of logical rules, as well as in the case of unclear or linguistically specified parameters of the object. In order to present these rules in mathematical form and to ensure the possibility of adjusting the model parameters, it is suggested to use methods of fuzzy logic. It is shown that the bases of fuzzy knowledge are a convenient means of formalizing the causal relationships of the "input-output" of the object of modeling in the natural language with the help of fuzzy logical statements. These expressions combine input and output indices given in the form of linguistic variables with fuzzy terms. Thus, fuzzy logic is a convenient tool that allows economists and financiers who are not mathematical modelers to establish logical connections between explanatory and dependent variables in financial and economic systems, using natural language expressions, and perform mathematically-based analysis. and forecasting the development of these systems. In order to fine-tune the fuzzy knowledge bases constructed expertly, it is proposed to adjust the parameters of fuzzy models with the use of methods for optimizing neural networks. The principles of optimization of models based on fuzzy logic using algorithms "Error Back Propagation" and "Extended Delta-Bar-Delta" are presented, as well as recommendations for the application of these algorithms depending on the type of membership functions, based on which the model is constructed.
