Stacked generalization is a commonly used technique for improving predictive accuracy by combining less expressive models using a high-level model. This paper introduces a stacked generalization scheme specifically designed for nonlinear time series models. Instead of selecting a single model using traditional model selection criteria, our approach stacks several nonlinear time series models from different classes and proposes a new generalization algorithm that minimizes prediction error. To achieve this, we utilize a feed-forward artificial neural network (FANN) model to generalize existing nonlinear time series models by stacking them. Network parameters are estimated using a backpropagation algorithm. We validate the proposed method using simulated examples and a real data application. The results demonstrate that our proposed stacked FANN model achieves a lower error and improves forecast accuracy compared to previous nonlinear time series models, resulting in a better fit to the original time series data.
