the aim of this study was to estimate suspended sediment by the ann model, dt with cart algorithm and different types of src, in ten stations from the lorestan province of iran. the results showed that the accuracy of ann with levenberg-marquardt back propagation algorithm is more than the two other models, especially in high discharges. comparison of different intervals in models showed that r...

We present a model-based approach to recover the rigid and non-rigid facial motion parameters in video sequences. Our face model is based on anatomically motivated muscle actuator controls to model the articulated non-rigid motion of a human face. The model is capable of generating a variety of facial expressions by using a small number of muscle actuator controls. We estimate rigid and non-rig...

The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is one of the most popular algorithms for the solution of nonlinear least squares problems. In this paper, we propose and analyze the global and local convergence results of a novel Levenberg-Marquadt method for solving general nonlinear least squares problems. The proposed algorithm enjoys strong convergence properties (global convergence as well as quadratic ...

Training neural networks to capture an intrinsic property of a large volume of high dimensional data is a difficult task, as the training process is computationally expensive. Input attributes should be carefully selected to keep the dimensionality of input vectors relatively small. Technical indexes commonly used for stock market prediction using neural networks are investigated to determine i...

Multidimensional scaling is a fundamental problem in data analysis and have a lot of applications. It’s goal is to look for an Euclidean graphic representation of a given set of data in a “low’ dimensional space (generally in IR or IR). This problem can be formulated as a nonlinear global optimization problem. To solve it, a Lenvenberg-Marquardt method is used upon different cost functions. Res...

The present work is aimed at modelling and characterizing viscoelastic materials by means of a time domain technique. A constitutive equation containing internal variables is proposed. The parameter estimation problem is solved in time domain by means of the Levenberg-Marquadt technique. The effectiveness of the time domain estimation is assessed experimentally for three different structres.

A new method for the solution of the generalized complementarily problem is introduced. The method is based on a no smooth equation reformulation of the generalized complementarily problem and on a no smooth Levenberg-Marquardt method for its solution. The method is shown to be globally convergent. Numerical results are also given.
