A New Period-Sequential Index Forecasting Algorithm for Time Series Data

A period-sequential index algorithm with sigma-pi neural network technology, which is called the (SPNN-PSI) method, is proposed for the prediction of time series datasets. Using the SPNN-PSI method, the cumulative electricity output (CEO) dataset, Volkswagen sales (VS) dataset, and electric motors e...
