Objective: In general, financial time series such as stock indexes have nonlinear, mutable and noisy behavior. Structural and statistical models and machine learning-based models are often unable to accurately predict series with such a behavior. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to present a new hybrid model using the advantages of the GMDH method and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic A...

An Artificial Neural Network is a flexible mathematical structure which is capable of identifying complex nonlinear relationships between input and output data sets. Such Neural Networks have been characterized by passive neurons that are not able to select and estimate their own inputs. In a new approach, which corresponds in a better way to the actions of human nervous system, the connections...

reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. it also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. in this paper, the kohene...

Introduction: C. elegans neural network is a good sample for neural networks studies, because its structural details are completely determined. In this study, the virtual neural network of this worm that was proposed by Suzuki et al. for control of movement was reconstructed by adding newly discovered synapses for each of these network neurons. These synapses are newly discovered in the actu...

In this chapter we describe new neural-network techniques developed for visual mining clinical electroencephalograms (EEGs), the weak electrical potentials invoked by brain activity. These techniques exploit fruitful ideas of Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH). Section 2 briefly describes the standard neural-network techniques which are able to learn well-suited classification modes from data...

The group method of data handling (GMDH) and differential evolution (DE) population-based algorithm are two well-known nonlinear methods of mathematical modeling. In this paper, both methods are explained and a new design methodology which is a hybrid of GMDH and DE is proposed. The proposed method constructs a GMDH network model of a population of promising DE solutions. The new hybrid impleme...
