Short summary
The hybrid variational mode decomposition–recurrent neural network (VMD-RNN) model provides a reliable one-step-ahead prediction, with better performance in predicting high and low values than the pure long short-term memory (LSTM) model. The universal multifractal technique is also introduced to evaluate prediction performance, thus validating the usefulness and applicability of the hybrid model.
