Abstract

Artificial neural networks have wide range of application, one of which is time series prediction. This paper represents a case study on time series prediction as an application of neural networks. The case study was done for the rainfall prediction using the local database in India. The results were obtained by the comparative study of neural network architectures like back propagation (BPNN), generalized regression (GRNN), and radial basis function (RBFNN).
