Common forecasting methods.

Forecasting methods	The applicable situation
Moving average [24]	Suitable for spot prediction
Exponential smoothing [25]	Repeated prediction with or without a change in seasons
Grey model [6]	Development of time series showing exponential trend
Elastic coefficient method [26]	Two factors between and have an exponential relationship
Linear regression model [3]	A linear relationship between independent variables and dependent variables
Artificial neural network model [7]	Being able to make prediction of nonlinear corresponding relationship
