A comparative study on different machine learning approaches with periodic items for the forecasting of GPS satellites clock bias by Longjiang Song, Jiahao Liu, Leilei Wang, Ziyi Wang, Yibo Yuan

“…Given the high frequency, sensitivity, and variability of space-borne GPS satellite atomic clocks, it is important to consider the periodic variations of satellite clock bias (SCB) in addition to the inherent properties of GPS satellite clocks such as frequency deviation, frequency drift, and frequency drift rate to improve SCB prediction accuracy and gain a better understanding of its characteristics. In recent applications, deep learning models have significantly improved handling time-series data. …”
