The prediction of the ultimate bearing capacity of the pile under axial load is one of the important issues for many researches in the field of geotechnical engineering. In recent years, the use of computational intelligence techniques such as different methods of artificial neural network has been developed in terms of physical and numerical modeling aspects. In this study, a database of 100 p...

Cox regression model serves as a statistical method for analyzing the survival data, which requires some options such as hazard proportionality. In recent decades, artificial neural network model has been increasingly applied to predict survival data. This research was conducted to compare Cox regression and artificial neural network models in prediction of kidney transplant survival. The prese...

Today for the expedition of the identification and timely correction of process deviations, it is necessary to use advanced techniques to minimize the costs of production of defective products. In this way control charts as one of the important tools for the statistical process control in combination with modern tools such as artificial neural networks have been used. The artificial neural netw...

one of the most important issues always facing banks and financial institutes is the issue of credit risk or the possibility of failure in the fulfillment of obligations by applicants who are receiving credit facilities. the considerable number of banks’ delayed loan payments all around the world shows the importance of this issue and the necessary consideration of this topic. accordingly, many...

In this paper, a novel hybrid method based on learning algorithmof fuzzy neural network and Newton-Cotesmethods with positive coefficient for the solution of linear Fredholm integro-differential equation of the second kindwith fuzzy initial value is presented. Here neural network isconsidered as a part of large field called neural computing orsoft computing. We propose alearning algorithm from ...

land cover map is important for many urban planning and management activities. in this study, in order to produce land cover map of arak city, digital image of liss-iii scanner acquired on 16 june 2006 were employed. first of all, geometric correction with rmse 0.58 pixel was applied. considering the mountainous condition of the study area, topographic correction was applied to the image. in su...
