Forecasting Wind Speed Using the Proposed Wavelet Neural Network by Monem A. Mohammed, Layla A. Ahmed

“…Five different performance criteria during calibration and validation, the root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute percentage error MAPE, mean absolute error MAE, and coefficient of determination (R2), were evaluated. When studying, analyzing, and comparing these models, the results of the study concluded that the proposed wavelet-ANN is the best result (MSE=0.00072, RMSE=0.02683, MAPE=2.32400, and  R2=0.99983.…”
