Compound Autoregressive Network for Prediction of Multivariate Time Series

Abstract

The prediction information has effects on the emergency prevention and advanced control in various complex systems. There are obvious nonlinear, nonstationary, and complicated characteristics in the time series. Moreover, multiple variables in the time-series impact on each other to make the prediction more difficult. Then, a solution of time-series prediction for the multivariate was explored in this paper. Firstly, a compound neural network framework was designed with the primary and auxiliary networks. The framework attempted to extract the change features of the time series as well as the interactive relation of multiple related variables. Secondly, the structures of the primary and auxiliary networks were studied based on the nonlinear autoregressive model. The learning method was also introduced to obtain the available models. Thirdly, the prediction algorithm was concluded for the time series with multiple variables. Finally, the experiments on environment-monitoring data were conducted to verify the methods. The results prove that the proposed method can obtain the accurate prediction value in the short term.

Hybrid Deep Learning Predictor for Smart Agriculture Sensing Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition and Gated Recurrent Unit Group Model

“…The study showed that the prediction performance of the proposed model based on the PSO algorithm was better than that of a traditional BP neural network. Bai et al studied the combined prediction method of a shallow nonlinear autoregressive network (NAR) on the basis of BP [45] and proposed the prediction method from time and space dimensions by using shallow networks [46].…”

“…Moreover, the prediction of the water quality [39] should be introduced to pre-judge the trend. The prediction models [40][41][42][43] and data estimation methods [44,45] can help data analysis in the aforehand decision-making.…”

Walking Gait Phase Detection Based on Acceleration Signals Using LSTM-DNN Algorithm

“…Unlike traditional classifiers such as SVM, the LSTM can capture feature vectors conveniently and automatically. The feature vectors enter the network directly and a modified classification model is established, whereas a traditional classification model requires more time to extract the feature vectors, leading to possible failure in the data preprocessing stage [42]. The LSTM algorithm model is shown in Figure 5 2; the information is discarded when the input information passes through the forget gate.…”

“…The softmax classifier is an extension of the logistic regression model for multi-classification problems. For multi-classification, the softmax function is generally used for the activation function of the output layer [42]. For multi-classification problems, it is evident from Equation (8) that the softmax function maps the output of multiple neurons to the interval of (0,1).…”
