Energies2018,11, 3283 (c) Cluster C Figure6.Feature importance inrandomforest. Table7shows theelectrical load forecastaccuracy for thepatternclassificationof similar time seriesfor2016. Inthetable, thepredictedresultswithabetteraccuracyaremarkedinbold. Forinstance, in thecaseofClusterA,while randomforest showsabetterpredictionaccuracy forpatterns1 to4, MLPshowsabetter accuracy forpatterns 5 to 8. Using this table,we can choose amore accurate predictionmodel for thepatternandcluster type.

ComparingTables7and8,wecansee thatMLPand random forest (RF) have amatched relative performance inmost cases. There are twoexceptions inClusterAandoneexception inClusterBandtheyareunderlinedandmarkedin bold. In thecaseofClusterC,MLPandRFgave thesamerelativeperformance. This isgoodevidence thatourhybridmodelcanbegeneralized.
