چکیده

In this study an attempt is made to mathematically model and predict algal blooms in Tolo Harbour (Hong Kong) using Genetic Programming (GP). Chlorophyll plays a vital role and is taken as a measure of algal bloom biomass and 8 other variables are taken as input for its prediction. It is observed that GP evolves multiple models with almost same values of errors – of – measure. Previous studies on GP modeling primarily focused on comparing the GP results with actual values. In contrast, in this study, the main aim is to propose a systematic procedure for identifying the most appropriate GP model from a list of feasible models (with almost same errorof measure) using physical understanding of the process aided by data interpretation. The study of the GP-evolved equations shows that they correctly identify the ecologically significant variables. Analysis of final GP evolved mathematical model indicates that of the 8 variables assumed to affect the algal bloom, the most significant effect is due to chlorophyll, total inorganic nitrogen and dissolved oxygen, as far as one week prediction is concerned. For higher lead prediction (biweekly), secchi disc depth and temperature appears as significant variables in addition to chlorophyll.

Bankruptcy Prediction: Dynamic Geometric Genetic Programming (DGGP) Approach

 In this paper, a new Dynamic Geometric Genetic Programming (DGGP) technique is applied to empirical analysis of financial ratios and bankruptcy prediction. Financial ratios are indeed desirable for prediction of corporate bankruptcy and identification of firms’ impending failure for investors, creditors, borrowing firms, and governments. By the time, several methods have been attempted in...

Spatial and temporal variations in algal blooms in the coastal waters of the western South China Sea

Algal blooms occur frequently in the coastal waters of the western South China Sea (SCS). This paper reports spatial and temporal variations of algal bloom events in these waters from 1993 to 2007. Twenty-five algal bloom events occurred in summer in the coastal waters of South and Central Vietnam where they were associated with wind-induced, coastal, nutrient upwelling and river discharges; a ...
