The mean observational error of UT1-UTC is now of the order of 0.006 ms, which corresponds to about 2.8 mm on the Earth’s surface. Usually the prediction error even for a few days in the future is several times greater than the observational error. In this paper different stochastic prediction techniques including autocovariance, autoregressive, autoregressive moving average, and neural networks were applied to predict UT1-UTC IERS EOPC04 data (IERS 2004). All known effects such as leap seconds and solid Earth zonal tides (McCarthy and Petit 2003) were first removed from the observed values of UT1-UTC. To predict the LODR time series the combination of the least-squares (LS) extrapolation with different stochastic prediction methods was applied. The results of the combination of the LS extrapolation with different stochastic prediction techniques were compared with the results of the UT1-UTC prediction method currently used by the IERS Rapid Service/Prediction Centre.
