1) The document proposes combining the ARIMA forecasting model with fuzzy alpha cuts (FAC) to improve the interval width of crime forecasting.
2) Typically, ARIMA models provide uncertainty ranges in the form of 95% confidence intervals. However, the amount of historical data can impact these intervals.
3) The proposed approach applies FAC to the forecasting results and confidence intervals from an ARIMA model. This converts the data to triangular fuzzy numbers. Then, alpha cuts are used to calculate new lower and upper interval bounds in order to obtain a better interval width for crime forecasting.
