III. PARAMETERS: WHERE TO OPERATE?
A number of different parameters are involved and are thus
to be suitably set both in the synthesis and in the forecast
phase. In the synthesis phase, the most important
parameters to be set are the escape parameter, the distance
parameter, the learning rate, the maximum synthesis error.
In the forecast phase, the most important parameters are the
number of inputs to the RBF forecasting network and the
length of the historical series to be considered.
