Time Series Prediction with Direct and Recurrent Neural Networks
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Forecasting - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This article presents a comparative study of the prediction of time series for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) using a recurrent neural network (RNN). For this, three models are designed for recurrent networks, with changes in backpropagation applied to allow them to incorporate the ARX (auto-regressive with external input) and NARX (nonlinear autoregressive with external input) models. We also present a third architecture, re-fed with the hidden layer, called ARXI, which is a special case of the Elman Network. Training is carried out for all networks and tests the ability to generalize them (identification stage), in order to select the best architectures of recurrent networks for prediction of the CPI. Following this stage, the models are validated by testing the extrapolation capacity of the networks, i.e., the presented data were not used during the training phase and obtain responses that indicate the capacity to predict the CPI at various times in the future (validation phase). We conclude that the NARX network shows the best performance and that the hybrid system proposed in [1] constitutes an excellent tool when minimal networks are required that make a series of perdition satisfactorily.
