摘要: 近年来,国家自然科学基金项目申请量迅猛增长,申请量预测成为宏观调控这一趋势的重要决策依据。通过深入剖析影响申请量的政策因素和资格因素,开发了一个基于潜在申请者的申请量预测方法。实验结果表明,所提方法的平均相对预测误差显著小于多项式拟合、指数平滑、ARMA模型、灰色G(1,1)模型等常见预测方法。而且,新方法的主要创新性在于其能预估申请政策调控对申请量的影响。

Abstract: The number of proposals for the National Natural Science Foundation is dramatically increasing in recent years. The prediction about the number is an important decision-making basis to macroscopically control the undesirable trend. This paper analyzes the application policies and the qualification factors, and then develops a method of predicting the number based on the potential applicants. The experimental result shows that the proposed method has much less average relative prediction errors than polynomial fitting, exponential smoothing, ARMA model and G(1,1) model. Moreover, the new method has an auxiliary capacity of analyzing the impact of the policies on the number of proposals.
