This paper investigates the effectiveness of four different soft computing methods, namely radial basis neural network (RBNN), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with subtractive clustering (ANFIS-SC), ANFIS with fuzzy c-means clustering (ANFIS-FCM) and M5 model tree (M5Tree), for predicting the ultimate strength and strain of concrete cylinders confined with fiber-reinforced polymer...

We examine various and different approaches for the prediction of economic crisis periods of US economy. We examine the traditional econometric discrete choice Logit and Probit models then a feed-forward neural network (FFNN) model and finally we apply an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). We examine the period 1950-2009, where we take as the in-sample or training period 1950-2005, ...

Information extraction from satellite images is a challenging task. This is because of the associated uncertainty arising out of improper capture and subsequent transfer. Fuzzy systems are suitable for such applications because of the fact that these have the ability to capture minute variations in the patterns presented. Fuzzy systems are expert decision making tools that require support from ...

Evaporation, as a major component of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources development and management in arid and semi-arid climatic regions. Although there are empirical formulas available, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicated nature of the evaporation process and the data availability. This paper explores evaporation estimation methods based o...

This paper deals with the implementation of the Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) on a Xilinx based Field Programmable Gate Array Spartan-3E. The implemented hardware is then used to efficiently calibrate the U-Tube manometer, in which the relation between the level of mercury and the Capacitance developed across the Copper Plates of the manometer is highly non-linear. This system s...

This paper introduces the application of the hybrid approach Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for fault classification and diagnosis in industrial actuator. The ANFIS can be viewed either as a fuzzy inference system, a neural network or fuzzy neural network (FNN). This paper integrates the learning capabilities of neural network to the robustness of fuzzy systems in the sense that ...

This paper presents the design and analysis of Neuro-Fuzzy controller based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) architecture for Load frequency control of interconnected areas, to regulate the frequency deviation and power deviations. Any mismatch between generation and demand causes the system frequency to deviate from its nominal value. Thus high frequency deviation may lead to s...

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for the prediction of diesel spray penetration length in the cylinder of a diesel internal combustion engine. The technique involved extraction of necessary representative features from a collection of raw image data. A comparative evaluation of two fuzzy-derived techniques for modelli...
