Finding the collapse susceptible portion of a power system is one of the purposes of voltage stability analysis. This part which is a voltage control area is called the voltage weak area. Determining the weak area and adjecent voltage control areas has special importance in the improvement of voltage stability. Designing an on-line corrective control requires the voltage weak area to be determi...

In this paper, the fuzzy neural network is selected as the algorithm for data mining (DM), introducing the artificial neural network into the fuzzy logic by treating it as a computing tool, it is a networklized description form by using the artificial neural network as the membership function in a fuzzy system, fuzzy rules and extension principle. The fuzzy neural network (FNN) is selected as t...

This paper proposes a wavelet neural network (WNN) for SAR image segmentation by combining the wavelet transform and an artificial neural network. The WNN combines the multiscale analysis ability of the wavelet transform and the classification capability of the artificial neural network by setting the wavelet function as the transfer function of the neural network. Several SAR images are segmen...

The paper presents a local linear wavelet neural network. The difference of the network with the original wavelet neural network is that the connection weights between the hidden layer and output layer of the original WNN are replaced by a local linear model. A simple and fast training algorithm, particle swarm optimization (PSO), is also introduced for training the local linear wavelet neural ...

Although traditional artificial neural networks have been an attractive topic in modeling membrane filtration, lower efficiency by trial-and-error constructing and random initializing methods often accompanies neural networks. To improve traditional neural networks, the present research used the wavelet network, a special feedforward neural network with a single hidden layer supported by the wa...

Nowadays, prediction of corporate bankruptcy is one of the most important issues which have received great attentions among academia and practitioners. Although several studies have been accomplished in the field of bankruptcy prediction, less attention has been devoted for proposing a systematic approach based on fuzzy neural networks.  The present study proposes fuzzy neural networks to predi...

This paper proposes a method to detect falls using a Neural Network with Weighted Fuzzy Membership Functions(NEWFM) and wavelet-based feature extraction. Data extracted from study subjects were applied to the NEWFM after going through preprocessing and wavelet processes. From the created wavelet coefficients, 40 initial features were obtained using statistical methods, including frequency distr...
