Forecasting regional carbon prices in china with a hybrid model based on quadratic decomposition and comprehensive feature screening. by Yaoyang Yi

“…First, the improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (ICEEMDAN) is used to decompose the carbon price time series once, extract high-frequency and low-frequency components, and denoise the high-frequency components using stacked denoising autoencoder (SDAE). Then, the variational mode decomposition (VMD) method is subsequently employed to execute a secondary decomposition on the reconstructed signal, with the decomposition hyperparameters optimized via crested porcupine optimization (CPO). …”
