ISF'06 ANNEX Neural Network Forecasting Competition

Prof Rob Wilby, Drs Bob Abrahart, Asaad Shamseldin, Linda See, Christian Dawson and Sven Crone would like to welcome you to the ISF06 ANNEXG forecasting competition . The intention of ISF06 ANNEXG is to initiate a project to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial neural networks in rainfall-runoff modelling/flow forecasting.

The intention is to provide a standard rainfall-runoff data set (available below) that will be used by all participants to create a number of neural network models. We then hope to integrate the model results to examine the skill of individual members, as well as the ensemble forecast(s) for the catchment.

All the data you send back to us will be anonymous. In other words, when the model statistics are calculated and published, there will be no indication as to who has produced the most accurate model (although parameters will be published so you should be able to work out which model(s) is your own!).
