MARS: Still an Alien Planet in Soft Computing?

چکیده
The past few years have witnessed a growing recognition of soft computing technologies that underlie the conception, design and utilization of intelligent systems. According to Zadeh [1], soft computing consists of artificial neural networks, fuzzy inference systems, approximate reasoning and derivative free optimization techniques. In this paper, we report a performance analysis among Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), neural networks and neuro-fuzzy systems. The MARS procedure builds flexible regression models by fitting separate splines to distinct intervals of the predictor variables. For performance evaluation purposes, we consider the famous Box and Jenkins gas furnace time series benchmark. Simulation results show that MARS is a promising regression technique compared to other soft computing techniques.

Wind waves are one of the important, fundamental and interesting subjects in port and coastal engineering. Thus, within years, different methods such as experimental methods, numerical modeling and soft computing methods have been employed to estimate the wave parameters. In this study, waves height in Anzali port is predicted using soft computing models such as multivariate adaptive regressi...
متن کامل1 Language in Context
Introduction A conversation involves acquiring and conveying information about the world, immediately and without much conscious reflection. Our linguistic capacity thereby enables us to engage in complex cooperative activities that require rapid information flow between large numbers of people, such as building bridges and superconductors (though unfortunately also waging war). We share our ab...
متن کاملExtra-terra incognita: Martian maps in the digital age.
Science and technology studies (STS) and critical cartography are both asking questions about the ontological fixity of maps and other scientific objects. This paper examines how a group of NASA computer scientists who call themselves The Mapmakers conceptualizes and creates maps in service of different commitments. The maps under construction are those of alien Mars, produced through partnersh...
متن کاملAsymmetries in Mars ’ Exosphere
Observations and simulations show that Mars’ atmosphere has large seasonal variations. Total atmospheric density can have an order of magnitude latitudinal variation at exobase heights. By numerical simulations we show that these latitude variations in exobase parameters induce asymmetries in the hydrogen exosphere that propagate to large distances from the planet. We show that these asymmetrie...
