Application Of The Narx Neural Network For Predicting A One-Dimensional Time Series

Abstract

Time Series Data Analysis And Forecast-Ing Tool For Studying The Data On The Use Of Network Traffic Is Very Important To Provide Acceptable And Good Quality Network Ser-Vices, Including Network Monitoring, Resource Management, And Threat Detection. More And More, The Behavior Of Network Traffic Is Described By The Theory Of Deterministic Chaos. The Traffic Of A Modern Network Has A Complex Structure, An Uneven Rate Of Packet Arrival For Service By Network Devices. Predicting Network Traffic Is Still An Important Task, As Forecast Data Provide The Necessary Information To Solve The Problem Of Managing Network Flows. Numerous Studies Of Actually Measured Data Confirm That They Are Nonsta-Tionary And Their Structure Is Multicomponent. This Paper Presents Modeling Using Nonlinear Autoregression Exogenous (Narx) Algorithm For Predicting Network Traffic Datasets. Narx Is One Of The Models That Can Be Used To De-Monstrate Non-Linear Systems, Especially In Modeling Time Series Datasets. In Other Words, They Called The Categories Of Dynamic Feed-Back Networks Covering Several Layers Of The Network. An Artificial Neural Network (Ann) Was Developed, Trained And Tested Using The Lm Learning Algorithm (Levenberg-Macwardt). The Initial Data For The Prediction Is The Actual Measured Network Traffic Of The Packet Rate. As A Result Of The Study Of The Ini-Tial Data, The Best Value Of The Smallest Mean-Square Error Mse (Mean Squared Error) Was Obtained With The Epoch Value Equal To 18. As For The Regression R, Its Output Ann Values In Relation To The Target For Training, Validation And Testing Were 0.97743. 0.9638 And 0.94907, Respectively, With An Overall Regression Value Of 0.97134, Which Ensures That All Datasets Match Exactly. Experimental Results (Mse, R) Have Proven The Method’S Ability To Accurate-Ly Estimate And Predict Network Traffic
