Description
Summary:Improperly tuned wavelet neural network (WNN) has been shown to exhibit unsatisfactory generaliza-tion performance. In this study, the tuning is done by an improved fuzzy C-means algorithm, that utilizesa novel similarity measure. This similarity measure takes the orientation as well as the distance intoaccount. The modified WNN was first applied to a benchmark problem. Performance assessments withother approaches were made subsequently. Next, the feasibility of the proposed WNN in forecasting thechaotic Mackey–Glass time series and a real world application problem, i.e., blood glucose level predic-tion, were studied. An assessment analysis demonstrated that this presented WNN was superior in termsof prediction accuracy.
