Robust Neuroevolutionary Identification of Nonlinear Nonstationary Objects

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

The neuroevolutionary approach is proposed to construct mathematical models of nonlinear nonstationary objects under non-Gaussian noise. The general structure of an evolutionary feed-forward neural network is considered. The modeling of various cases of nonstationarity has proved the efficiency of the proposed approach.
