Abstract:

Drought is a climate phenomenon which might occur in any climate condition and all regions on the earth. Effective drought management depends on the application of appropriate drought indices. Drought indices are variables which are used to detect and characterize drought conditions. In this study, it was tried to predict drought occurrence, based on the standard precipitation index (SPI), using k-nearest neighbor modeling. The model was tested by using precipitation data of Kerman, Iran. Results showed that the model gives reasonable predictions of drought situation in the region. Finally, the efficiency and precision of the model was quantified by some statistical coefficients. Appropriate values of the correlation coefficient (r=0.874), mean absolute error (MAE=0.106), root mean square error (RMSE=0.119) and coefficient of residual mass (CRM=0.0011) indicated that the present model is suitable and efficient

Diabetes Prediction by Optimizing the Nearest Neighbor Algorithm Using Genetic Algorithm

Introduction: Diabetes or diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder in body when the body does not produce insulin, and produced insulin cannot function normally. The presence of various signs and symptoms of this disease makes it difficult for doctors to diagnose. Data mining allows analysis of patients’ clinical data for medical decision making. The aim of this study was to provide a model fo...

Liquid-liquid equilibrium data prediction using large margin nearest neighbor

Guanidine hydrochloride has been widely used in the initial recovery steps of active protein from the inclusion bodies in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS). The knowledge of the guanidine hydrochloride effects on the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) phase diagram behavior is still inadequate and no comprehensive theory exists for the prediction of the experimental trends. Therefore the effect the ...

An Improved k-Nearest Neighbor Classification Algorithm Using Shared Nearest Neighbor Similarity

k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) is one of the most popular algorithms for pattern recognition. Many researchers have found that the KNN classifier may decrease the precision of classification because of the uneven density of t raining samples .In view of the defect, an improved k-nearest neighbor algorithm is presented using shared nearest neighbor similarity which can compute similarity between test ...
