I have used ANN, ANFIS, wavelet-ANN and wavelet-ANFIS for water quality prediction. I have used highly correlated variables as inputs (Pearson correlation>0.5). The R2 for ANN, ANFIS, best wavelet-ANN and best wavelet-ANFIS models were 0.9936, 0.9954, 0.996 and 0.9967, respectively. In my research the wavelet-ANN and wavelet-ANFIS showed minimal improvement in comparison with single ANN and ANFIS. Is the minimal improvement because of high correlation of inputs and output?
