Data pre-processing and artificial neural networks for tidal level prediction at the Pearl River Estuary

Traditionally, tidal level is predicted by harmonic analysis (HA). In this paper, three hybrid models that couple varied pre-processing methods, which are empirical mode decomposition (EMD), ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), and empirical wavelet transform (EWT), with the nonlinear autor...
