Flood Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Networks: an Application of Multi-Model Data Fusion technique
Floods are among the natural disasters that cause human hardship and economic loss. Establishing a viable flood forecasting and warning system for communities at risk can mitigate these adverse effects. However, establishing an accurate flood forecasting system is still challenging due to the lack of knowledge about the effective variables in forecasting. The present study has indicated that th...
متن کاملA Review of Epidemic Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Networks
Background and aims: Since accurate forecasts help inform decisions for preventive health-careintervention and epidemic control, this goal can only be achieved by making use of appropriatetechniques and methodologies. As much as forecast precision is important, methods and modelselection procedures are critical to forecast precision. This study aimed at providing an overview o...
متن کاملUsing Reconstructability Analysis to Select Input Variables for Artificial Neural Networks
We demonstrate the use of Reconstructability Analysis to reduce the number of input variables for a neural network. Using the heart disease dataset we reduce the number of independent variables from 13 to two, with limited loss of accuracy compared with those of NNs using the full variable set. We also demonstrate that rule lookup tables obtained directly from the data for the RA models are alm...
متن کاملUsing the hybrid Taguchi experimental design method – TOPSIS to identify the most suitable artificial neural networks used in energy forecasting
The use of artificial neural networks (ANN) in forecasting has many applications. Appropriate design of ANN parameters enhances the performance and accuracy of neural network models. Most studies use a trial and error approach in setting the value of ANN parameters. Other methods used to determine the best structure of a neural network only use a single evaluation criterion to determine the ap...
