Non-stationary flare time series prediction using bidirectional long short-term memory based on STL decomposition
摘要
Solar flares have a major influence on space weather and technological systems. Predicting flares remains a difficult task because of the non-stationary and imbalanced nature of flare time series. This study introduces an enhanced deep LSTM network that integrates Seasonal-Trend decomposition using Loess (STL) within an encoder–decoder architecture. The proposed approach reduces data complexity by separating trend, seasonal, and residual components, facilitating the model’s ability to capture long-term temporal dependencies in flare activity. Experiments on the GOES X-ray flare catalog (2003–2023). The model achieves TSS of
