This paper proposes two different approaches for the prediction of type2 diabetes. Many different techniques have been used for the prediction of chronic diseases by different researchers. Among them Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) is very popular and already used for the prediction of type 2 diabetes. In this paper, the proposed system is optimization of ANFIS using Genetic Algor...

Drought forecasting plays an important role in the planning and management of water resources systems. In this paper, a hybrid wavelet and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (WANFIS) is proposed for drought forecasting. The WANFIS model was developed by combining two methods, namely a discrete wavelet transform and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model. To assess the effectiven...

This paper addresses the problem of rate control for Available Bit Rate (ABR) service class in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. An adaptive neurofuzzy mechanism based on Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for allocating rates in ABR service has been proposed and compared with the fuzzy technique called as Fuzzy Explicit Rate Marking (FERM). To achieve this, a neurofuzzy A...

This paper presents an adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) approach to predict the location, occurrence time and the magnitude of earthquakes. The analysis conducted in this paper is based on the principle of conservation of energy and momentum of annual earthquakes which has been validated by analyzing data obtained from United Sates Geographical Survey (USGS). This principle shall ...

Affective design is an important aspect of product development to achieve a competitive edge in the marketplace. A neural-fuzzy network approach has been attempted recently to model customer satisfaction for affective design and it has been proved to be an effective one to deal with the fuzziness and non-linearity of the modeling as well as generate explicit customer satisfaction models. Howeve...

In this paper, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) techniques are developed and applied to identify damage in a model steel girder bridge using dynamic parameters. The required data in the form of natural frequencies are obtained from experimental modal analysis. A comparative study is made using the ANNs and ANFIS techniques and results showed th...

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 work proposes a Neuro-Fuzzy Intelligent System – ANFIS (Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System) for the annual forecast of greenhouse gases emissions (GHG) into the atmosphere. The purpose of this work is to apply a Neuro-Fuzzy System for annual GHG forecasting based on existing emissions data including the last 37 years in Brazil. Such emissions concern tCO2 (tons of carbon dioxide...

Identifying exceptional students for scholarships is an essential part of the admissions process in undergraduate and postgraduate institutions, and identifying weak students who are likely to fail is also important for allocating limited tutoring resources. In this article, we have tried to design an intelligent system which can separate and classify student according to learning factor and pe...
