Artículo de publicación SCOPUSThis main aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for the prediction of the future price of the brown pastusa potato in Colombia, taking into consideration the variables of interest rate, as measured by fixed term deposits (FTDs), and inflation rate, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI). The methodology conducts linear regression analysis and assesses the results using the significance test, the Durbin-Watson statistic, analysis of the variance inflation factor (VIF) and the coefficient of determination. After that, the forecast of the independent variables has been conducted with the ordered weighted moving average (OWMA) operator and new proposed OWA operators using probabilities that are presented in the paper. Using these new methods and the proposed econometric model, it is possible to establish future prices. The results show a greater impact of the interest rate than inflation, as well as the need to include supply and demand variables that have not been included due to the absence of systematic information. © 2021-IOS Press.
