in this paper, i develop three forecasting models: namely structural, times series, and artificial neural networks; to forecast iranian inflation rates. the structural model uses aggregate demand and aggregate supply approach, the time series model is based on the standard arlma technique, and the artificial neural network applies multi-layer back propagation model the latter, which is rooted i...

This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of energy consumption and economic analysis of different watermelon cultivation systems in Fars Province of Iran. Watermelon production systems were classified into five systems, namely, custom tillage (group 1), conservation tillage (group 2), traditional planting (group3), semi mechanized planting (group 4), and mechanized planting (group 5). Data w...

This work investigates the use of Hybrid Intelligent Systems in the pattern recognition system of an artificial nose. The connectionist approaches Multi-Layer Perceptron and Time Delay Neural Networks; and the hybrid approaches Feature-weighted Detector and Evolving Neural Fuzzy Networks were investigated. A wavelet filter as preprocessing method of odors signals is evaluated. The signals gener...

This study presents an integrated Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and time series framework to estimate and predict Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) in Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS/CDMA) systems. It is difficult to model uncertain behavior of SIR with only conventional ANN or time series and the integrated algorithm could be an ideal substitute for such cases. Artificial ...

An integrated Neural Network and Gravitational Search Algorithm (HNNGSA) are used to solve Blasius differential equation. To aim this purpose, GSA technique is applied to train a multi-layer perceptron neural network, which is used as approximation solution of the Blasius differential equation. A trial solution of the differential equation is written as sum of two parts. The first part satisfie...
