We present a framework for multivariate nonlinear time series forecasting that utilizes phase space image representations and deep learning. Recurrence plots (RP) are a phase space visualization tool used for the analysis of dynamical systems. This approach takes advantage of recurrence plots that are used as input image representations for a class of deep learning algorithms called convolutional neural networks. We show that by leveraging recurrence plots with optimal embedding parameters, appropriate representations of underlying dynamics are obtained by the proposed autoregressive deep learning model to produce forecasts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
