introduction: with using multiple linear regression (mlr), can simultaneously analyses several different variables, but to get the desirable results from the mlr, the samples must be much and accurate. therefore, this method has high sensitivity and may cause errors in results. in addition, to use this method, the variable must have normal distribution and modification follow from a linear rela...

This work presents a method for exploiting developmental plasticity in Artificial Neural Networks using Cartesian Genetic Programming. This is inspired by developmental plasticity that exists in the biological brain allowing it to adapt to a changing environment. The network architecture used is that of a static Cartesian Genetic Programming ANN, which has recently been introduced. The network ...

The artificial neural networks, the learning algorithms and mathematical models mimicking the information processing ability of human brain can be used non-linear and complex data. The aim of this study was to predict the breeding values for milk production trait in Iranian Holstein cows applying artificial neural networks. Data on 35167 Iranian Holstein cows recorded between 1998 to 2009 were ...

p2x 7 antagonist activity for a set of 49 molecules of the p2x 7 receptor antagonists, derivatives of purine, was modeled with the aid of chemometric and artificial intelligence techniques. the activity of these compounds was estimated by means of combination of principal component analysis (pca), as a well-known data reduction method, genetic algorithm (ga), as a variable selection technique, ...

Complexity of space-time analysis remains a major problem faced by forecasters. Theoretical issues and forecast inaccuracy emanate from specification error, aggregation error, measurement error, and perhaps model complexity. Because such problems are mainly statistical in nature, employing techniques not based on statistical methods is tested here. Two computational techniques (genetic programm...

The paper deals with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). We believe that solving for the DEA efficiency measure, simultaneously with neural network model, provides a promising rich approach to optimal solution. In this paper, a new neural network model is used to estimate the inefficiency of DMUs in large datasets.

estimating the final price of products is of great importance. for manufacturing companies proposing a final price is only possible after the design process over. these companies propose an approximate initial price of the required products to the customers for which some of time and money is required. here using the existing data of already designed transformers and utilizing the bayesian anal...

Cox regression model serves as a statistical method for analyzing the survival data, which requires some options such as hazard proportionality. In recent decades, artificial neural network model has been increasingly applied to predict survival data. This research was conducted to compare Cox regression and artificial neural network models in prediction of kidney transplant survival. The prese...
