Near future prediction of European population through Chebyshev-activation WASD neuronet

Abstract

With the world population increasing rapidly, the conflicts between the population and limited resources have become more and more severe. Population growth is a root cause of many environmental and social problems. Therefore, it is of vital importance to make population predictions. However, predictions based on standard cohort-component method fails to consider all relevant impact factors and may neglect some important uncertainty factors. To overcome the inherent limitations, in this article, we present a Chebyshev-activation WASD neuronet approach for the population prediction. This neuronet method is applied to predicting European population, with numerous numerical experiments conducted as a research basis to guarantee the feasibility and validity of our approach. It is predicted with the most possibility that European population will decrease in the near future.
