Abstract This paper investigates the comparative performance of wavelet based radial basis networks and multi linear regression in daily reference evapotranspiration estimation. The meteorological data (air temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, relative humidity) from two stations in the United States was evaluated for estimating models. The wavelet based radial basis network combines wavelet transformation and radial basis neural network, while the wavelet based regression model combines wavelet transformation and multi linear regression. The results show that the wavelet transformation has significantly positive effects on modeling performance. The wavelet based radial basis network provided the best performance evaluation criteria.
