Although the practicability of using wavelet neural networks (WNNs) in nonlinear function approximation has been addressed extensively, selecting the optimal number of hidden nodes and their appropriate initial locations remains a great challenge for WNNs' initialization. The cuckoo search...

An Autoencoder (AE) is an independent feature extractor from data samples and a deep network can be obtained by stacking several AEs. This paper presents a novel hybrid stacked Autoencoder-based Deep Kernel-based Random Vector Functional Link Network (DKRVFLN-AE) for forecasting and trend...
