This paper discusses the modeling method of time series with neural network. In order to improve the adaptability of direct multi-step prediction models, this paper proposes a method of combining the temporal differences methods with back-propagation algorithm for updating the parameters continuously on the basis of recent data. This method can make the neural network model fit the recent characteristic of the time series as close as possible, therefore improves the prediction accuracy. We built models and made predictions for the sunspot series. The prediction results of adaptive modeling method are better than that of non-adaptive modeling methods.
