We propose using the L1-norm, as opposed to the L2-norm, due to the wellknownfact that the L1-norm is superior to the L2-norm criterion when the signal has heavy tailed distributions oroutliers. A comparison of the proposed approach with previous reported schemes using a time series benchmark ispresented. Simulation results show that the proposed wavelet-network based on the L1-norm performs better thanthe standard back-propagation network and the wavelet-network based on the traditional L2-norm when applied tosynthetic data. %K Wavelet-networks %K Wavelets %K Multi-resolution Analysis %K Learning Chaotic Time Series. %U http://amcath.ccadet.unam.mx/jart/vol3_3/wavelet.pdf
