Back-Propagation Neural Network and ARIMA Algorithm for GDP Trend Analysis

GDP (gross domestic product) is a key indicator for assessing a country's or region's macroeconomic situation, as well as a foundation for the government to develop economic development strategies and macroeconomic policies. Currently, the majority of methods for forecasting GDP are linear methods, which only take into account the linear factors that affect GDP. GDP (gross domestic product) is widely regarded as the most accurate indicator of a country's economic health. GDP not only reflects a country's economic development over time but can also reflect its national strength and wealth. As a result, the GDP trend forecast partially reflects China's transformation and future development. The time series ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) model and the BPNN (BP neural network) model are combined in this article to create the ARIMA-BPNN fusion prediction model. The predicted values of the two models were then weighted averaged to obtain the predicted values of the linear part of the improved fusion model. To get the predicted values of the improved fusion model, we weighted average the residual parts of the two models, predict the nonlinear residual with BPNN, and add the predicted values of the two parts. It is applied to the actual GDP forecast in H province from 2019 to 2022, and the actual forecast verifies the effectiveness of the fusion forecast model in the actual forecast.
