GNSS time-series prediction plays an important role in the monitoring of crustal plate movement, and dam or bridge deformation, and the maintenance of global or regional coordinate frames. Deep learning is a state-of-the-art approach for extracting high-level abstract features from big data without any prior knowledge. Moreover, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are a form of recurrent neural networks that have significant potential for processing time series. In this study, a novel prediction framework was proposed by combining a multi-scale sliding window (MSSW) with LSTM. Specifically, MSSW was applied for data preprocessing to effectively extract the feature relationship at different scales and simultaneously mine the deep characteristics of the dataset. Then, multiple LSTM neural networks were used to predict and obtain the final result by weighting. To verify the performance of MSSW-LSTM, 1000 daily solutions of the XJSS station in the Up component were selected for prediction experiments. Compared with the traditional LSTM method, our results of three groups of controlled experiments showed that the RMSE value was reduced by 2.1%, 23.7%, and 20.1%, and MAE was decreased by 1.6%, 21.1%, and 22.2%, respectively. Our results showed that the MSSW-LSTM algorithm can achieve higher prediction accuracy and smaller error, and can be applied to GNSS time-series prediction.

It is important to predict a time series because many problems that are related to prediction such as health prediction problem, climate change prediction problem and weather prediction problem include a time component. To solve the time series prediction problem various techniques have been developed over many years to enhance the accuracy of forecasting. This paper presents a review of the prediction of physical time series applications using the neural network models. Neural Networks (NN) have appeared as an effective tool for forecasting of time series.  Moreover, to resolve the problems related to time series data, there is a need of network with single layer trainable weights that is Higher Order Neural Network (HONN) which can perform nonlinearity mapping of input-output. So, the developers are focusing on HONN that has been recently considered to develop the input representation spaces broadly. The HONN model has the ability of functional mapping which determined through some time series problems and it shows the more benefits as compared to conventional Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The goal of this research is to present the reader awareness about HONN for physical time series prediction, to highlight some benefits and challenges using HONN.

Here, we propose a new deep learning scheme to solve the energy time series prediction problem. The model implementation is based on the use of Long Short-Term Memory networks and Convolutional Neural Networks. These techniques are combined in such a fashion that inter-dependencies among several different time series can be exploited and used for forecasting purposes by filtering and joining their samples. The resulting learning scheme can be summarized as a superposition of network layers, resulting in a stacked deep neural architecture. We proved the accuracy and robustness of the proposed approach by testing it on real-world energy problems.
