Income modelling of enterprises on the basic of vector prediction

This paper proposes a new approach to income modelling of enterprises, based on the vector prediction methods. Existing approaches to the income modelling are based on the use of traditional methods of economic dynamics prediction such as the average absolute increase and average growth rate. Quantitative inaccuracy and highly approximate nature of predictions are inherent for traditional methods. The authors propose the economic-mathematical model for the enterprise income planning for a year ahead on a quarterly basis. For revenue prediction two methods of vector prediction are used (the method of orthogonal differences and multiplicative Holt - Winters' method). This model provides prediction for a few steps forward at the same time. Individually, each of these methods doesn't take into account the diversity of the process. Only in conjunction the methods allow to take into account the demolition of trends and seasonal nature of income, thus providing the necessary stability of the prediction. To summarize two predictions their linear combination is calculated, the choice of weighting coefficients being based on the accuracy of private predictions. The accuracy of the private prediction is defined as the average relative error of the forecast.
