By comparing six existing model algorithms in all datasets, the results show that SAVE-AS can achieve faster convergence and high predictive accuracy while maintaining stability. Specifically, the predictive accuracy indexes such as Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) can reach a lowest optimum value of 1.1410, 0.1758 and 0.2263, and the average training time is reduced by 25.25%, 23.87% and 41.36%, respectively.
