# Prediction method based on optimization theory and its application

• BP neural network is a kind of prediction method, but it has some disadvantages. So an improved particle swarm optimization scheme is used to optimize neural network parameters and structure. Both training convergence speed and classification accuracy is improved. Interest rate is always the focus in the economic research. The proposed scheme is used for seven days interbank offered rate prediction in China and the result shows that the BP neural network based on improved PSO has higher accuracy than the BP algorithm, which can provide important reference for central bank to work out monetary policy.
