“…Autoregressive (AR) method (Qiao et al, 2015), autoregressive moving average (ARMA) method (Askari et al, 2013;Erdem and Shi, 2011), and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) method (Cadenas et al, 2016) are common linear methods. The nonlinear method of short-term wind speed include support vector machine (SVM) model (Du et al, 2017;Gani et al, 2016), least square support vector machine (LSSVM) model (Ren et al, 2016;Sun et al, 2015), artificial neural network (Elman neural network (Yu et al, 2017(Yu et al, , 2018, echo state network (ESN; Sun and Liu, 2016), fuzzy neural network (Dong et al, 2017;Ma et al, 2017), radial basis function (RBF) neural network (Chang et al, 2017;Kirbas and Kerem, 2016), extreme learning machine (Nikolic et al, 2016;Tian et al, 2018b;Wang et al, 2018). Although these single forecasting or prediction models have been widely used, they all have their own limitations.…”
