A flexible neural network (FNN) is a multilayer feedforward neural network with the characteristics of: (1) overlayer connections; (2) variable activation functions for different...
— Ensembles are often capable of greater predictive accuracy than any of their individual members. One key attribute of ensembles’ success is the notion of diversity. However, ...
Abstract. In this paper, neural networks trained with the back-propagation algorithm are applied to predict the future values of time series that consist of the weekly demand on it...
This paper presents a new method — the Time-delay Added Evolutionary Forecasting (TAEF) method — for time series prediction which performs an evolutionary search of the minimu...
