Predicting tensile strength of rocks from physical properties based on support vector regression optimized by cultural algorithm
Authors
Abstract:
The tensile strength (TS) of rocks is an important parameter in the design of a variety of engineering structures such as the surface and underground mines, dam foundations, types of tunnels and excavations, and oil wells. In addition, the physical properties of a rock are intrinsic characteristics, which influence its mechanical behavior at a fundamental level. In this paper, a new approach combining the support vector regression (SVR) with a cultural algorithm (CA) is presented in order to predict TS of rocks from their physical properties. CA is used to determine the optimal value of the SVR controlling the parameters. A dataset including 29 data points was used in this study, in which 20 data points (70%) were considered for constructing the model and the remaining ones (9 data points) were used to evaluate the degree of accuracy and robustness. The results obtained show that the SVR optimized by the CA model can be successfully used to predict TS.

In urban management, it is important to precisely forecast the short-term demand for necessary resources, including water, electric power, and gas. Although a variety of prediction models have been proposed in literature, the underlying defects and limitations confine the effectiveness and forecasting precision of these models. In this paper, the shortterm prediction problem is modeled as a non...

Soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a parameter that represents soil fertility. Being difficult to measure, pedotransfer functions (PTFs) can be routinely applied for prediction of CEC by soil physicochemical properties that can be easily measured. This study developed the support vector regression (SVR) combined with genetic algorithm (GA) together with the adaptive network-based fuzzy infe...

In this report we show that the-tube size in Support Vector Machine (SVM) for regression is 2= p 1 + jjwjj 2. By using this result we show that, in the case all the data points are inside the-tube, minimizing jjwjj 2 in SVM for regression is equivalent to maximizing the distance between the approximating hyperplane and the farest points in the training set. Moreover, in the most general setting...

In this report we show some consequences of the work done by Pontil et al. in 1]. In particular we show that in the same hypotheses of the theorem proved in their paper, the optimal approximating hyperplane f R found by SVM regression classiies the data. This means that y i f R (x i) > 0 for points which live externally to the margin between the two classes or points which live internally to th...
