Machine learning (ML) models, including artificial neural networks (ANN), generalized regression (GRNN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface systems (ANFIS), have received considerable attention for their ability to provide accurate predictions in various problem domains. However, these models may produce inconsistent results when solving linear problems. To overcome this limitation, paper propo...

Statistical evidence suggests that the autocorrelation function of a compressed-video sequence is better captured by (k) = e ? p k than by (k) = k ? = e ? log k (long-range dependence) or (k) = e ?k (Markovian). A video model with such a correlation structure is introduced based on the so-called M=G=1 input processes. Though not Markovian, the model exhibits short-range dependence. Using the qu...

The present study aims at developing a forecasting model to predict the next year’s air pollution concentrations in the atmosphere of Iran. In this regard, it proposes the use of ARIMA, SVR, and TSVR, as well as hybrid ARIMA-SVR and ARIMA-TSVR models, which combined the autoregressive part of the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model with the support vector regression technique...

Climate and rainfall are highly non-linear and complicated phenomena, which require sophisticated computer modelling and simulation for accurate prediction. An artificial intelligence technology allows knowledge processing and can be used .as forecasting tool. For example, the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), to predict the behaviors of nonlinear systems has become an attractive...

In the first of a multistage process to understand the generation of internal waves from rough topography, we have performed laboratory experiments to study wave generation over and in the lee of smalland large-amplitude sinusoidal topography. The model hills are towed at a range of speeds along the surface of a uniformly salt-stratified fluid. The experiments show that internal waves are gener...

Statistical evidence suggests that the autocorrelation function of a compressed-video sequence is better captured by p(k) = e–~fi than by p(k) = k–fi = e–~’og k (long-range dependence) or p(k) = e-~k (Markovian). A video model with such a correlation structure is introduced based on the so-called M/G/ca input processes. Though not Markovian, the model exhibits short-range dependence. Using the ...

A time series forecasting is an active research applied significantly in a variety of economics areas. Over the past three decades an auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, as one of the most important time series models, has been applied in financial markets forecasting. Recent researches in time series forecasting ARIMA models indicate some basic limitations which detract fr...

In this article, we forecast crude oil and natural gas spot prices at a daily frequency based on two classification techniques: artificial neural networks (ANN) and support vector machines (SVM). As a benchmark, we utilize an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) specification. We evaluate outof-sample forecast based on encompassing tests and mean-squared prediction error (MSPE). We ...
