Echo state networks as an alternative to traditional artificial neural networks in rainfall–runoff modelling

Despite theoretical benefits of recurrent artificial neural networks over their feedforward counterparts, it is still unclear whether the former offer practical advantages as rainfall–runoff models. The main drawback of recurrent networks is the increased complexity of the training procedure due...
