Model-free prognostication of non-linear time series

The study of non-linear time series with available techniques for observed complex data can extract characteristics that enable short-range forecasting without the need for model-building. Time-lagged analysis provides one suitable foundation. Among various approaches, machine learning achieved the best prognosticative results.

Abstract

The study of non-linear time series with available techniques for observed complex data can extract characteristics that enable short-range forecasting without the need for model-building. Time-lagged analysis provides one suitable foundation. Among various approaches, machine learning achieved the best prognosticative results.
