In this paper we show how the performance of the basic algorithm of the Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) can be improved using Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The new improved GMDH is then used to predict currency exchange rates: the US Dollar to the Euros. The performance of the hybrid GMDHs are compared with that of the conventional GMDH. Two performance mea...

in this work, a hybrid gmdh–neural network model was developed in order to predict the moisture content of papaya slices during hot air drying in a cabinet dryer. for this purpose, parameters including drying time, slices thickness and drying temperature were considered as the inputs and the amount of moisture ratio (mr) was estimated as the output. exactly 50% of the data points were used for ...

Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-type neural network algorithms are the heuristic self organization method for the modelling of complex systems. GMDH algorithms are utilized for a variety of purposes, examples include identification of physical laws, the extrapolation of physical fields, pattern recognition, clustering, the approximation of multidimensional processes, forecasting without mo...

doi:10.1111/j.1742-4658.2004.04475.x Many organelle enzymes coded for by nuclear genes have N-terminal sequences, which directs them into the organelle (precursor) and are removed upon import (mature). The experiments described below characterize the differences between the precursor and mature forms of watermelon glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase. Using recombinant protein methods, the precurso...

This paper presents the analysis of the stopping maneuver of the human driver by using a new three-dimensional driving simulator that uses CAVE, which provides stereoscopic immersive vision. First of all, the difference in the driving behavior between 3D and 2D virtual environments is investigated. Secondly, a GMDH is applied to the measured data in order to build a mathematical model of drivin...

In this paper, we propose novel recurrent architectures for Genetic Programming (GP) and Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) to predict software reliability. The effectiveness of the models is compared with that of well-known machine learning techniques viz. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN), Counter Propaga...

Construction of a system for measuring the brain activity (electroencephalogram (EEG)) and recognising thinking patterns comprises significant challenges, in addition to the noise and distortion present in any measuring technique. One of the most major applications of measuring and understanding EGG is the brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. In this paper, ANNs (feedforward back-prop and...

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are deployed for multi-objective Pareto optimal design of Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-type neural networks that have been used for modelling of a complex process (such as explosive cutting process) using some input-output experimental data. In this way, EAs with a new encoding scheme is firstly presented to evolutionary design of the generalized GMDH-type ...

This survey deals with up-to-date results in the field of hybrid algorithms development of GMDH-type Neural Networks (GMDH-NN) and other methods of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which are successfully used for solving complex economic problems. Such hybrid algorithms are now only in its early stage of active research. General characteristics and main weaknesses of GMDH-NN are firstly presented. ...

The GMDH MIA algorithm uses linear regression for adaptation. We show that Gauss-Markov conditions are not met here and thus estimations of network parameters are biased. To eliminate this we propose to use cloning of neuron parameters in the GMDH network with genetic selection and cloning (GMC GMDH) that can outperform other powerful methods. It is demonstrated on tasks from the Machine Learni...
