Prediction of traffic is very crucial for its management. Because of human involvement in the generation of this phenomenon, traffic signal is normally accompanied by noise and high levels of non-stationarity. Therefore, traffic signal prediction as one of the important subjects of study has attracted researchers’ interests. In this study, a combinatorial approach is proposed for traffic signal...

The training algorithm of Wavelet Neural Networks (WNN) is a bottleneck which impacts on the accuracy of the final WNN model. Several methods have been proposed for training the WNNs. From the perspective of our research, most of these algorithms are iterative and need to adjust all the parameters of WNN. This paper proposes a one-step learning method which changes the weights between hidden la...

Network traffic flow prediction model is fundamental to the network performance evaluation and the design of network control scheme which is crucial for the success of high-speed networks. Aiming at shortcoming of the conventional network traffic time series prediction model and the problem that BP training algorithms easily plunge into local solution, a network traffic prediction model based o...

Constructing a targeted wavelet neural network is an effective method to enhance network performances and recognition effect. By introducing heart sounds wavelet of neural network hidden layer as the activation function, heart sound targeted learning and recognition technology are integrated deeply, to obtain a new heart sounds wavelet neural network. Selecting normal heart sounds and premature...

introduction: evoked potentials arisen by stimulating the brain can be utilized as a communication tool  between humans and machines. most brain-computer interface (bci) systems use the p300 component,  which is an evoked potential. in this paper, we evaluate the use of the hidden markov model (hmm) for  detection of p300.  materials and methods: the wavelet transforms, wavelet-enhanced indepen...

This paper proposes a wavelet neural network (WNN) for SAR image segmentation by combining the wavelet transform and an artificial neural network. The WNN combines the multiscale analysis ability of the wavelet transform and the classification capability of the artificial neural network by setting the wavelet function as the transfer function of the neural network. Several SAR images are segmen...

The paper presents a local linear wavelet neural network. The difference of the network with the original wavelet neural network is that the connection weights between the hidden layer and output layer of the original WNN are replaced by a local linear model. A simple and fast training algorithm, particle swarm optimization (PSO), is also introduced for training the local linear wavelet neural ...
