forecast.mlp {nnfor}R Documentation

Forecast using MLP neural network.

Description

Create forecasts using MLP neural networks.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mlp'
forecast(object, h = NULL, y = NULL, xreg = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object

MLP network object, produced using mlp.

h

Forecast horizon. If NULL then h is set to match frequency of time series.

y

Optionally forecast using different data than what the network was trained on. Expected to create havoc and do really bad things!

xreg

Exogenous regressors. Each column is a different regressor and the sample size must be at least as long as the target in-sample set plus the forecast horizon, but can be longer. Set it to NULL if no xreg inputs are used.
