Description
Summary:This study examines and analyses the use of a new recurrent neural network model: Jordan Pi-Sigma Network (JPSN) as a forecasting tools. JPSN's ability to predict future trends of temperature was tested and compared to that of Multilayer Perception (MLP) and the standard Pi-Sigma Neural Network (PSNN); trained with the standard gradient descent algorithm. A set of historical temperature for five years from Malaysian Meteorological Department was used as input data train the networks for the next-day prediction. Simulation results show that JPSN forecast comparatively superior to MLP and PSNN models, with lower prediction error, thus revealing a great potential in predicting the temperature measurement.
