drought is random and nonlinear phenomenon and using linear stochastic models, nonlinear artificial neural network and hybrid models is advantaged for drought forecasting. this paper presents the performances of autoregressive integrated moving average (arima), direct multi-step neural network (dmsnn), recursive multi-step neural network (rmsnn), hybrid stochastic neural network of directive ap...

estimation of pure runoff is a house virtually is complex and different methods of calculation have been proposed. modern methods of solving problems in river engineering and water homes and assess the flow method is used, is that the artificial network pattern of human brain neural network training process, while implementation of the internal relationships between the data and discover for ot...

to determine the amount of food amino acid and to spend time in the laboratories are expensive & time-consuming due to a chemical analysis. in the current laboratories, digestion nirs method is widely used for this purpose. but this method has technical limitation. therefor is important find appropriate method for estimate amount of amino acids. artificial neural network (ann) can provide a bet...

precipitation is one of important parameters of climatology and atmospheric science that have more importance in human life. recently, extensive flood and drought entered many damage to most parts of the world. precipitation forecasting and alerts management role is responsible for these problems. today, artificial neural networks are one of developed method that applied for estimate and predic...

This paper uses nonlinear regression, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Genetic Programming (GP) approaches for predicting an important tangible issue i.e. scours dimensions downstream of inverted siphon structures. Dimensional analysis and nonlinear regression-based equations was proposed for estimation of maximum scour depth, location of the scour hole, location and height of the dune downs...

Neural networks were used to estimate the cost of jet engine components, specifically shafts and cases. The neural network process was compared with results produced by the current conventional cost estimation software and linear regression methods. Due to the complex nature of the parts and the limited amount of information available, data expansion techniques such as doubling-data and data-cr...

the safety of buried pipes under repeated load has been a challenging task in geotechnical engineering. in this paper artificial neural network and regression model for predicting the vertical deformation of high-density polyethylene (hdpe), small diameter flexible pipes buried in reinforced trenches, which were subjected to repeated loadings to simulate the heavy vehicle loads, are proposed. t...

the main focus in this study is on data pre-processing, reduction in number of inputs or input space size reduction the purpose of which is the justified generalization of data set in smaller dimensions without losing the most significant data. in case the input space is large, the most important input variables can be identified from which insignificant variables are eliminated, or a variable ...

with the increase of the volume of information and the progress in technology, the deficiency of traditional algorithms for fast information retrieval becomes more clear. when large volumes of data are to be handled, the use of neural network as an artificial intelligent technique is a suitable method to increase the information retrieval speed. neural networks present a suitable representation...

abstract forecasting electrical energy demand and consumption is one of the important decision-making tools in distributing companies for making contracts scheduling and purchasing electrical energy. this paper studies load consumption modeling in hamedan city province distribution network by applying esn neural network. weather forecasting data such as minimum day temperature, average day temp...
