Autoregressive neural network (AR-NN) models of various orders have been generated in this work for the daily total ozone (TO) time series over Kolkata (22.56°N, 88.5°E). Artificial neural network in the form of multilayer perceptron (MLP) is implemented in order to generate the AR-NN models of orders varying from 1 to 13. An extensive variable selection method through multiple linear regression (MLR) is implemented while developing the AR-NNs. The MLPs are characterized by sigmoid non-linearity. The optimum size of the hidden layer is identified in each model and prediction are produced by validating it over the test cases using the coefficient of determination (R²) and Willmott’s index (WI). It is observed that AR-NN model of order 7 having 6 nodes in the hidden layer has maximum prediction capacity. It is further observed that any increase in the orders of AR-NN leads to less accurate prediction.
