Abstract

In this paper, an intelligent hybrid approach is presented for designing increasing translation invariant morphological operators for time series forecasting. It consists of an intelligent hybrid model composed of a Modular Morphological Neural Network (MMNN) and an improved Genetic Algorithm (GA) with optimal genetic operators to accelerate its search convergence. The improved GA searches for the minimum number of time lags for a correct time series representation, as well as by the initial weights, architecture and number of modules of the MMNN; then each element of the improved GA population is trained via Back Propagation (BP) algorithm to further improve the parameters supplied by the improved GA. An experimental analysis is conducted with the proposed method using two real world time series and five well-known performance measurements, demonstrating good performance of this kind of morphological system for time series forecasting.
