Abstract

An ensemble of GM-RVFL networks is applied to the stochastic time series generated from the logistic-kappa map, and the dependence of the generalisation performance on the regularisation method and the weighting scheme is studied. For a single-model predictor, application of the Bayesian evidence scheme is found to lead to superior results. However, when using network committees, under-regularisation can be advantageous, since it leads to a larger model diversity, as a result of which a more substantial decrease of the generalisation ‘error’ can be achieved.

  1. This partitioning of the available data into a small training set and a large cross-validation set is not realistic for practical applications. The small training set size was chosen for testing the effects of overfitting. The large cross-validation set was used for getting a reliable estimate of the weighting scheme (13.33), with which the alternative weighting scheme (13.31) and a uniform weighting scheme are to be compared.
