This paper proposes a novel fuzzy neural network model based on fuzzy clustering method. The model can accept continuous and discrete inputs together; the discrete input to the model is divided into several clusters by using fuzzy c-mean clustering algorithm (FCM). A fuzzy clustering neuron (FC-neuron) is designed to calculate a membership degree value belonging to one cluster for each discrete...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) trained using backpropagation (BP) algorithm are commonly used for modeling material behavior associated with non-linear, complex or unknown interactions among the material constituents. Despite multidisciplinary applications of back-propagation neural networks (BPNN), the BP algorithm possesses the inherent drawback of getting trapped in local minima and slowly...

To resolve the online detection difficulty of some important state variables in fermentation process with traditional instruments, a soft sensing modeling method based on relevance vector machine (RVM) with a hybrid kernel function is presented. Based on the characteristic analysis of two commonly-used kernel functions, that is, local Gaussian kernel function and global polynomial kernel functi...

The aim of this study is to examine the equity premium puzzle in Iran for the quarterly period of 1993-2016. In this regard, the hybrid bivariate Garch model and also fuzzy dummy variables with consumption capital asset pricing model (C-CAPM) have been used. The results of study show that using C-CAPM within fuzzy dummy variables (CCAPM-F), the relative risk aversion coefficient of investor is ...

People’s spending patterns are changing due to the economy’s quick expansion, and one such change is advent of e-commerce, which has drawn a lot investors. This article uses JD as an example study fundamental elements its business model assess evaluate it from standpoint value creation.

Agile project management (APM) can be defined as an iterative approach that promotes satisfying customer requirements, adjusts to change, and develops a working product in rapidly changing environments. Managers usually apply agile the projects requiring extraordinary speed flexibility their processes. Earned value (EVM) is fundamental part of establish practical measures. Often, managers use t...

Wind power parallel operation is an effective way to realize the large scale use of wind power, but the fluctuations of power output from wind power units may have great influence on power quality, hence a new method of power smoothing and capacity optimized allocation based on hybrid energy storage technology is proposed in terms of the uncontrollable and unexpected characteristics of wind spe...
