support vector regression (svr) is a learning method based on the support vector machine (svm) that can be used for curve fitting and function estimation. in this paper, the ability of the nu-svr to predict the catalytic activity of the fischer-tropsch (ft) reaction is evaluated and the result is compared with two other prediction techniques including: multilayer perceptron (mlp) and subtractiv...

modeling of stream flow–suspended sediment relationship is one of the most studied topics in hydrology due to itsessential application to water resources management. recently, artificial intelligence has gained much popularity owing toits application in calibrating the nonlinear relationships inherent in the stream flow–suspended sediment relationship. thisstudy made us of adaptive neuro-fuzzy ...

the uv-spectrophotometric method of analysis was proposed for simultaneous determination of fluoxetine (flx) and sertraline (srt). considering the strong spectral overlap between uv-vis spectra of these compounds, a previous separation should be carried out in order to determine them by conventional spectrophotometric techniques. here, full-spectrum multivariate calibrations adaptive neuro-fuzz...

Proper models for prediction of time series data can be an advantage in making important decisions. In this study, we tried with the comparison between one of the most useful classic models of economic evaluation, auto-regressive integrated moving average model and one of the most useful artificial intelligence models, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), investigate modeling procedur...

some applications are critical and must designed Fault Tolerant System. Usually Voting Algorithm is one of the principle elements of a Fault Tolerant System. Two kinds of voting algorithm are used in most applications, they are majority voting algorithm and weighted average algorithm these algorithms have some problems. Majority confronts with the problem of threshold limits and voter of weight...
