Previous studies analyzed errors in English as a second language writing school or university; no work has been conducted on Indian Madrasa (Islamic institution) students’ writing. The current study analyzes errors. students were grouped into an experimental group (EG) and control (CG) engaged for twenty-eight days, where only EG learners received blended learning (BL) treatment. investigation ...

The modern methods for power system load and energy prediction are usually based on artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic, which present satisfactory results. However, the estimation of the confidence intervals can not be applied directly, unlike to the classical forecasting methods. The objective of this paper is to present an optimized fuzzy logic method for midterm energy forecasting, w...

This paper presents a neural fuzzy network model for seasonal streamflow forecasting. The model is based on a constructive learning method where neurons groups compete when the network receives a new input, so that it learns the fuzzy rules and membership functions essential for modelling a fuzzy system. The model was applied to the problem of seasonal streamflow forecasting using a database of...

Ideally, forecasting methods should be evaluated in the situations for which they will be used. Underlying the evaluation procedure is the need to test methods against reasonable alternatives. Evaluation consists of four steps: testing assumptions, testing data and methods, replicating outputs, and assessing outputs. Most principles for testing forecasting methods are based on commonly accepted...

This paper informs about number-theoretical and geometrical estimates of worst-case bounds for quantization errors in calculating features such as moments, moment based features, or perimeters in image analysis, and about probability-theoretical estimates of error bounds (eg. Standard derivations) for such digital approximations. New estimates (with proofs) and a review of previously known resu...

We prove that if a group G is systolic, i.e. if it acts properly and cocompactly on a systolic complex X, then an appropriate Rips complex constructed from X is a finite model for EG.
