1. Introduction
Among the most volatilizes products in open economics is the exchange rate. That
is why, it is necessary to generate new models that can include that characteristic
and that will help to obtain an acceptable forecast error (Majhiet al., 2009).
Among the weakness of the forecasting models are that they usually try to
simplify the reality (Krugman, 2000).Thus, although some of the variables are
included in the models, there are other that are excluded and that can have an
important effect in the results, because of that it is important to identify them.
A methodology that can be used in order to identify the forgotten variables is the
forgotten effects methodology developed by Kaufmann & Gil-Aluja (1988). This
method use different matrixes in order to obtain relationship between different
variables and in this sense obtain a degree of forgetfulness (Vizuete-Lucianoet al.,
2013).
In order to obtain the information that is needed to formulate the matrixes the
experton technique (Kaufmann, 1988) is used. This method uses a cumulative
distribution function and a linguistic expression based on a decimal scale from 0 to
1. By doing this, it is possible to consolidate a group of experts opinion.
The technique that was used in order to aggregate the knowledge and
expectations of the financial markets of the experts was the heavy ordered
weighted moving average (HOWMA) operator. This operator is an extension of the
traditional ordered weighted average (OWA) operator developed by Yager (1988).
Among the advantages is that it is possible to include a heavy weighted vector with
a moving average series.. In doing so, we can incorporate the knowledge and
expectations of financial market experts into the typical moving average, allowing
us to under- or overestimate the results according to the available information
(Yager, 2008).
The HOWMA operator was extended by aggregation a weighted average in the
same formulation and in this sense we can provide different degree of important to
the weighted moving average or the weighted average. This new formulation is
called heavy ordered weighted moving average weighted average (HOWMAWA)
operator. The main properties and cases have been developed.
This new operator has been used in order to forecast USD/MXN exchange rate
for 2015 by the use of econometric models based on economic fundamentals. In
order to generate the models information from 1994-2014 was used; then in order
to generate the values of the different variables in the model two different
techniques were used: time series and HOWMAWA operator. After that, in order
to obtain forgotten variables that will be added to the econometric models the
forgotten effects methodology and the experton technique were used.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the main formulations used in
the paper are presented. Section 3presents some generalizations and specific cases
of the heavy moving averages operators. In Section 4, the forgotten variables are
detected based on forgotten effects methodology and expertons technique. Section

Now, assume that there is a third set of elements, called C, which is expressed as
follows:
𝐶𝑘
𝐶 = { = 1,2, … , 𝑘}.
𝑘
This new set of elements represents the effects of the set B, having an incidence
matrix as follows:
c1 c2 c3 … cm
b1 𝜇𝑏1 𝑐1 𝜇𝑏1 𝑐2 𝜇𝑏1 𝑐3 … 𝜇𝑏1 𝑐𝑚
… … … … …
Note that we have two incidence matrices that share the set Bas a common
element. Thus, the relationship of the three sets can be expressed as follows:
𝑀 ⊂ 𝐴x𝐵 and 𝑁 ⊂ 𝐵x𝐶.
With this information, we obtain the forgotten effects in A and C, using the set B
as the base. To do so, the max-min operator is used (expressed by symbol ∘),
generating a new incidence matrix as follows:
𝑀 ∘ 𝑁 = 𝑃,
𝑃 ⊂ 𝐴x𝐶.
This new relationship is formulated as
∀(𝑎𝑖 , 𝑐𝑧 ∈ 𝐴x𝐶),
𝜇(𝑎𝑖 , 𝑐𝑧 )𝑀 ∘ 𝑁 = ∀𝑏𝑗 (𝜇𝑀(𝑎𝑖 , 𝑏𝑗 )˄𝜇𝑁(𝑏𝑗 , 𝑐𝑧 ).
The resulting incidence matrix from performing the operation max-min is as
follows:

The P matrix defines the causal relationships between elements of sets A and C
in the intensity or degree that leads to the consideration of those belonging to B.
To assign values to the matrices, Kaufmann and Gil-Aluja(1988) propose a
decimal scale that is composed of 11 values from 0 to 1[0,0.1,0.2,0.3, … ,1]. This
scale facilitates their adaptation and treatment since people are used to thinking and
working in decimal form.
2.3Heavy moving average operators
The main advantage of the use of a heavy weighting vector and moving average in
exchange rate forecasting is that we can include in the same formulation historical
data and expectations of the financial market through the experts. The HOWMA
operator can be defined as follows (León et al., 2016; León et al., 2018a).
Definition 1. A HOWMA operator is defined as a given sequence {𝑎𝑖 }𝑁 𝑖=1 , where
one obtains a new sequence {𝑠𝑖 }𝑁−𝑛+1
𝑖=1 , which is multiplied by a heavy weighting
vector, such that
𝑚+𝑡
𝐻𝑂𝑊𝑀𝐴(𝑠𝑖 ) = ∑ 𝑤𝑗 𝑏𝑗 , (1)
𝑗=1+𝑡
where 𝑏𝑗 is the jth largest element of the collection a1 , a2 , … , an , and W is an
associated weighting vector of dimension m with 𝑊: 1 ≤ ∑𝑚+𝑡 𝑖=1+𝑡 𝑤𝑖 ≤ 𝑛 and 𝑤𝑖 ∈
[0,1]. Observe that, here, we can also expand the weighting vector from −∞ to ∞.
Thus, the weighting vector w becomes −∞ ≤ ∑𝑛𝑗=1 𝑤𝑗 ≤ ∞.
It is important to note that the characteristics of the HOWMA operator are: a)
monotonic because, if 𝑎𝑖 ≥ 𝑑𝑖 , for all i, then 𝐻𝑂𝑊𝑀𝐴(𝑎1 , … , 𝑎𝑛 ) ≥
𝐻𝑂𝑊𝑀𝐴(𝑑1 , … , 𝑑𝑛 ),b) commutative because any permutation of the arguments
has the same evaluation. Also, the HOWMA operator is unbounded that because
the weighted vector can range from 1 to ∞ or even from −∞ to ∞
Finally, the beta value explained by Yager (2002) applies to the HOWMA
operator. In this sense, the beta value normalizes the vector W and is defined as
𝛽(𝑊) = (|𝑊| − 1)/(𝑛 − 1). Since |𝑊| ∈ [1, 𝑛], 𝛽 ∈ [0,1], which is why, if 𝛽 =
1, then we obtain the total operator and, if 𝛽 = 0, then we obtain the typical
moving average.

because it depends on the problem and the results may vary if we different experts
or number of them. With the information provided, we use the experton technique,
and the results are presented in Tables1-3. Note that the selection of the variables
that are used as cause or effects are the ones that compose the PPP, IRP and BoP
models. Also other macroeconomic variables that have been important in exchange
rate such as growth expectations, monetary politics, country risk, global market
and oil price are included (Tsai, 1994; Bergholt &Lujala, 2012; Zhang et al, 2012;
Reboredo, 2012; Blanchard & Adler, 2015; Ghosh et al., 2015).

As can be seen in Table 4, oil price and country risk are the indirect effects with
higher sum (1.8 and 1.0, respectively). Also, it is important to note that the indirect
effects with 0.4 values are the oil price in relation with interest rate (though growth
expectations) and country risk with the consumer price index in the USA (through
monetary policy) (See Figure 1 and 2).
Note: To develop these relationships, we use FuzzyLog Software. It is freely

To evaluate the errors obtained by the forecasts for each one of the models and
techniques, the results are analyzed using the average absolute percentage error
(MAPE), mean absolute deviation (MAD) and the mean square deviation (MSD),
the formulas of which are the following. The results are presented in Table 9-11.

Also, it is important to note that the three best models taking into account all
models according to the error analysis are:
1. PPP model with HOWMAWA and F.E.
2. IRP model with HOWMAWA
3. PPP model with HOWMAWA
As we can see with the analysis using different operators and techniques we can
obtain different scenarios about the future of the USD/MXN. Note that the
HOWMAWA operator give in all the models the best solutions, considering or not
the forgotten effects. Also, an interesting finding is that the PPP model with
HOWMAWA and F.E. are the best results taking into account the error, this can
help us to identify that the aggregation operators can be a useful technique in order
to forecast. Finally, the forgotten effects also help to improve in some cases the
results but not always, this is an important finding because then there are some
other things that we are not taking into account in the models and finding them will
improve the results.
7. Conclusions
This paper introduced new hidden variables to three traditional models that are
based on economic fundamentals: the purchase power parity, the interest rate parity
and the balance of payment models. To introduce the forgotten items, we use
expertons and the forgotten effects methodology. Therefore, these techniques use
the information of a group of decision makers who are experts in the field; with the
use of matrices, we can obtain the second-degree effects and, with that information,
the forgotten effects. The objective is to integrate these new variables into the
econometric models and to use different methods to forecast the exchange rate.
Additionally, a new extension of the OWA operator, which is called the heavy
ordered weighted moving average weighted average (HOWMAWA) operator, was
introduced. This new operator considers a degree of importance for each concept
that is used in the HOWMA operator. We have analyzed this new operator, giving
its definition and studying its properties; in addition, some interesting specific
cases have been included.
This new operator and some others have been used to forecast the2015
USD/MXN exchange rate. As noted above, all of the traditional models improve
with the additional hidden variable detected through the forgotten effects
methodology and the HOWMA and HOWMAWA operators. Based on this
finding, we can conclude that the inclusion of uncertainty techniques and
knowledge based systems in traditional econometric models, in the case of
exchange rate forecasting, is an efficient tool to reduce the forecasting error. In
future research, we expect to develop a new extension of the OWA operator by
Bonferroni means (Blanco-Mesa et al., 2018; 2019), order induced variable (León
et al., 2018b) or distance measures (Merigó&Yager, 2013).
