Prediction of corrections was carried out using two methods, time series analysis and regression. As appropriate to these methods, the input data was prepared based on two time series, ts1 and ts2. The implemented research concerned the designation of the prediction errors on certain days of the forecast and the influence of the quantity of data on the prediction error. The obtained results indicate that in the case of the GMDH neural network the best quality of forecasting for UTC(PL) can be obtained using the time-series analysis method. The prediction errors obtained did not exceed the value of ± 8 ns, which confirms the possibility of maintaining the Polish timescale at a high level of compliance with the UTC.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Influence of the GMDH Neural Network Data Preparation Method on UTC(PL) Correction Prediction Results}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/89875/PDF/Journal10178-VolumeXIX%20Issue1_11paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10178-012-0011-1}, keywords={GMDH neural network, national timescale, atomic clock, time series analysis}, }
