Carbon monoxide prediction using novel intelligent network

This paper introduces a new structure in neural networks called TD-CMAC, an extension to the conventional Cerebellar Model Arithmetic Computer (CMAC), having reasonable ability in time series prediction. TD-CMAC, the conventional CMAC and a classical neural network model called Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) are simulated and evaluated for 1-hour-ahead prediction and 24-hour-ahead prediction of carbon monoxide as one of primary air pollutants. Carbon monoxide data used in this evaluation were recorded and averaged at Villa station in Tehran, Iran from October 3rd. 2001 to March 14th. 2002 at one-hour intervals. The results show that the errors made by TD-CMAC is fewer than those made by other models.
