We revisit the Karagiannidis-Lioumpas (KL) approximation of Q-function by optimizing its coefficients in terms absolute error, relative error and total error. For minimizing maximum absolute/relative we describe targeted uniform functions sets nonlinear equations so that optimized are solutions thereof. The is minimized with numerical search. also introduce an extra coefficient KL to achieve si...

abstract the present study is attempted to present the minimum required meteorological parameters for reference evapotranspiration estimation at hamedan region of iran from 1997 to 1998. employing pierson test, six meteorological parameters which are used by penman-montieth fao-56 method including maximum and minimum air temperature, maximum and minimum relative humidity, wind speed and daily s...

Multiplicative regression model or accelerated failure time model, which becomes linear regression model after logarithmic transformation, is useful in analyzing data with positive responses, such as stock prices or life times, that are particularly common in economic/financial or biomedical studies. Least squares or least absolute deviation are among the most widely used criterions in statisti...

BACKGROUND The complexity of reactions and kinetic is the current problem of photodegradation processes. Recently, artificial neural networks have been widely used to solve the problems because of their reliable, robust, and salient characteristics in capturing the non-linear relationships between variables in complex systems. In this study, an artificial neural network was applied for modeling...

In this paper based on the conception of evolution, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to parameters optimization of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR).The mathematical model of experimental system had been approximated near the operating point for the GA algorithm to adjust PID parameter for the minimum integral of time multiplied by...
