in this study, several data-driven techniques including system identification, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis), artificial neural network (ann) and wavelet-artificial neural network (wavelet-ann) models were applied to model rainfall-runoff (rr) relationship. for this purpose, the daily stream flow time series of hydrometric station of hajighoshan on gorgan river and the daily rai...

A new methodology for simulating the flow field inside an arteriovenous (AV) graft to vein anastomoses by the adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is presented in this study. For determining the optimal AV graft angle, an ANFIS-based model of neuro fuzzy-graft-vein (NF-GVEIN) is proposed. Therefore engineering design of the graft can be supported. The advantage of this neuro-fuzzy hybr...

An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was developed using the subtractive clustering technique to study the air demand in low-level outlet works. The ANFIS model was employed to calculate vent air discharge in different gate openings for an embankment dam. A hybrid learning algorithm obtained from combining back-propagation and least square estimate was adopted to identify linear and...

-Network traffic forecasting has many important role to play in the domain of network traffic congestion control, its management and network traffic engineering. Characterizing the traffic and modeling are necessary for efficient functioning of the network. It is very vital for any model to depict self similarity, heavy tailed distribution and long range dependence (LRD). Thus modeling of time ...

An Adaptative Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), new flexible tool, is applied to predict the cut-off frequencies of the symmetric and the anti-symmetric circumferential waves (Si and Ai, i=1,2) propagating around an elastic aluminum cylindrical shell of various radius ratio b/a (a: outer radius and b: inner radius). The time-frequency of WignerVille and the proper modes theory are used in t...

nowadays, it has demonstrated that viruses can be transmitted by water and foods. therefore, it causes the research to develop for detecting different viruses in water and foods. among foods, milk can transfer potentially pathogenic viruses. on the other hand, to achieve every method for recovery and extraction of viruses in raw milk it needs to know about impact of milk components on viruses. ...

monitoring and forecasting of air quality parameters in urban areas is considered as one of the challenges of the human environment. it depends on several factors such as topography, climate, population and transport network which the interaction of these spatial factors has been as a dynamic phenomenon, non-linear and ambiguous. in this study, two models suggested to predict and modeling conce...

Tourism in Greece plays a major role in the country’s economy and an accurate forecasting model for tourism demand is a useful tool, which could affect decision making and planning for the future. This paper answers some questions such as: how did the forecasting techniques evolve over the years, how precise can they be, and in what way can they be used in assessing the demand for tourism? An A...

This chapter discusses the foundation of neuro-fuzzy systems. First, we introduce Takagi, Sugeno, and Kang (TSK) fuzzy model [l,2] and its difference from the Mamdani model. Under the idea of TSK fuzzy model, we discuss a neuro-fuzzy system architecture: Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) that is developed by Jang [3]. This model allows the fuzzy systems to learn the paramete...

Accurate prediction of the water level in a reservoir is crucial to optimizing the management of water resources. A neuro-fuzzy hybrid approach was used to construct a water level forecasting system during flood periods. In particular, we used the adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to build a prediction model for reservoir management. To illustrate the applicability and capab...
