Neural Network Non-linear Combination Forecasting Method and Its Application

Abstract

This paper adopted the artificial neural network, and also introduced the combination forecasting theory, established non-linear combination forecasting model based on artificial neural networks for hydrological time series forecasting. Though practical case calculating, and using the relevant evaluation index to analysis predict results, the results showed that non-linear combination forecasting method based on artificial neural network achieved better results than the original individual forecasting method.
