the safety of buried pipes under repeated load has been a challenging task in geotechnical engineering. in this paper artificial neural network and regression model for predicting the vertical deformation of high-density polyethylene (hdpe), small diameter flexible pipes buried in reinforced trenches, which were subjected to repeated loadings to simulate the heavy vehicle loads, are proposed. t...

This article considers the problem of model averaging for regression models that can be nonlinear in their parameters and variables. We consider a (NMA) framework propose weight-choosing criterion, information criterion (NIC). show up to constant, NIC is an asymptotically unbiased estimator risk function under settings with some mild assumptions. also prove optimality convergence weights.
