Emotional artificial neural networks (EANNs) for multi-step ahead prediction of monthly precipitation; case study: northern Cyprus

The target of the current paper was to examine the performance of three Markovian and seasonal based artificial neural network (ANN) models for one-step ahead and three-step ahead prediction of monthly precipitation which is the most important parameter of any hydrological study. The models proposed here are feed forward neural network (FFNN, as a classic ANN-based models), Wavelet-ANN (WANN, as a hybrid model), and Emotional-ANN (EANN, as a...
