Sediment transport in the ejector is highly stochastic and non-linear nature, its accurate estimation a complex challenging mission. This study attempts to investigate sediment removal of using newly developed hybrid data-intelligence models. The proposed models are based on hybridization adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) with different metaheuristic algorithms, namely, particle sw...

Churn prediction is a useful tool to predict customer at churn risk. By accurate prediction of churners and non-churners, a company can use the limited marketing resource efficiently to target the churner customers in a retention marketing campaign. Accuracy is not the only important aspect in evaluating a churn prediction models. Churn prediction models should be both accurate and comprehensib...

Channel modeling of multi input multiple output (MIMO) wireless systems continues to offer considerable challenges for being infested with uncertainty and random behaviour. Though traditional methods of modeling the MIMO channels have already proven their worth, soft-computational approaches have also received attention due to the fact that these tools learn from the environment, retain it and ...

In the present study, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is developed for the prediction of effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of different fillers filled in polymer matrixes. The ANFIS uses a hybrid learning algorithm. The ANFIS is a class of adaptive networks that is functionally equivalent to fuzzy inference systems (FIS). The ANFIS is based on neuro-fuzzy model, trained wit...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of four different soft computing methods, namely radial basis neural network (RBNN), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with subtractive clustering (ANFIS-SC), ANFIS with fuzzy c-means clustering (ANFIS-FCM) and M5 model tree (M5Tree), for predicting the ultimate strength and strain of concrete cylinders confined with fiber-reinforced polymer...

Prediction of student’s performance is potentially important for educational institutions to assist the students in improving their academic performance, and deliver high quality education. Developing an accurate student’s performance prediction model is challenging task. This paper employs the Adaptive NeuroFuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) for student academic performance prediction to help stud...

In fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs), optimal performance can be defined as performance that minimizes the deviation (error term) between the decisions of the fuzzy logic systems and the decisions of experts. A range of approaches – such as genetic algorithms (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), artificial neural networks (ANN), and adaptive network based fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) – can ...

Soil cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a parameter that represents soil fertility. Being difficult to measure, pedotransfer functions (PTFs) can be routinely applied for prediction of CEC by soil physicochemical properties that can be easily measured. This study developed the support vector regression (SVR) combined with genetic algorithm (GA) together with the adaptive network-based fuzzy infe...

In this study, a new approach based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was presented for detection of internal carotid artery stenosis and occlusion. The internal carotid arterial Doppler signals were recorded from 130 subjects that 45 of them suffered from internal carotid artery stenosis, 44 of them suffered from internal carotid artery occlusion and the rest of them were health...
