| Summary: | Abstract Aiming to solve the problems of low accuracy of multi-step prediction and difficulty in determining the maximum number of prediction steps of chaotic time series, a multi-step time series prediction model based on the dilated convolution network and long short-term memory (LSTM), named the dilated convolution-long short-term memory (DC-LSTM), is proposed. The dilated convolution operation is used to extract the correlation between the predicted variable and correlational variables. The features extracted by dilated convolution operation and historical data of predicted variable are input into LSTM to obtain the desired multi-step prediction result. Furthermore, cross-correlation analyses (CCA) are applied to calculate the reasonable maximum prediction steps of chaotic time series. Actual applications of multi-step prediction were studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model which has superiorities in RMSE, MAE and prediction accuracy because of the extraction of correlation between the predicted variable and correlational variables. Moreover, the proposed DC-LSTM model provides a new method for prediction of chaotic time series and lays a foundation for scientific data analysis of chaotic time series monitoring systems.
