Then the MGM(1, <jats:italic>m<\/jats:italic>) model for kernel sequences and grey radius sequences are established, respectively. Finally, the simulation and prediction of the upper and lower bounds of the interval grey number sequences are realized by the reductive calculation of the predicted values of the kernel and grey radius.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The model is applied to the prediction of visibility and relative humidity, the identification factors of the haze. The results show that the model has high accuracy on the simulation and prediction of multivariable grey number sequences, which is reasonable and practical.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The main contribution of this paper is to propose a method to simulate and forecast the multivariable grey number sequence that is to establish the prediction models for the whitening sequences of multivariable grey number sequences which are kernel and grey radius sequences and extend the possibility boundary of kernel by grey radius. The model can reflect the development trend of multivariable grey number sequence accurately. When the grey information is continuously complemented, the multivariable grey number prediction model is transformed into the traditional MGM(1, <jats:italic>m<\/jats:italic>) model. Therefore, the MGM(1, <jats:italic>m<\/jats:italic>) model based on interval grey number sequence is the generalisation and expansion of the traditional MGM(1, <jats:italic>m<\/jats:italic>) model.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/gs-07-2017-0022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,13]],"date-time":"2017-10-13T07:21:45Z","timestamp":1507879305000},"page":"310-319","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["MGM(1,<i>m<\/i>)
