Choosing input and output variables
Selecting the appropriate data that fulfils most of the system's dynamics needs to be carefully done. We want the neural network to forecast future weather based on the current and past weather data, but which variables should we choose? Getting an expert opinion on the subject can be really helpful in understanding the relationship between variables.
Tip
Regarding time series variables, one can derive new variables by applying historical data. That means, given a certain date, one may consider this date's values and the data collected (and/or summarized) from past dates, therefore extending the number of variables.
While defining a problem to use neural networks on, there are one or more predefined target variables: ...
