Magneto-rheological damper is a nonlinear system. In this case study, system has been identified using Neural Network tool. Optimization between number of neurons in the hidden layer and number of epochs has been achieved and discussed by using multilayer perceptron Neural Network.

We study neural network models of discriminating between stimuli with two similar angles, using the two-alternative forced choice (2AFC) paradigm. Two network architectures are investigated: a two-layer perceptron network and a gating network. In the two-layer network all hidden units contribute to the decision at all angles, while in the other architecture the gating units select, for each sti...

This paper proposes an intelligent approach for dynamic identification of the vehicles. The proposed approach is based on the data-driven identification and uses a high-performance local model network (LMN) for estimation of the vehicle’s longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. The proposed LMN requires no pre-defined standard vehicle model and uses measurement data to identif...

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...

The growth in the number of mobile subscriptions has led to a substantial increase in the mobile network bandwidth demand. The mobile network operators need to provide enough resources to meet the huge network demand and provide a satisfactory level of Quality-of-Service (QoS) to their users. However, in order to reduce the cost, the network operators need an efficient network plan that helps t...

N eural networks are very powerful as nonlinear signal processors, but obtained results are often far from satisfactory. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the reasons for these frustrations and show how to make these neural networks successful. The following are the main challenges of neural network applications: 1) Which neural network architectures should be used? 2) How large should...
