Rainfall is very important parameter in hydrological model. Many techniques and models have been developed for rainfall time series prediction. In this study an artificial neural network (ANN) based model was developed for rainfall time series forecasting. Proposed model used Multilayer perceptron (MLP) network with back propagation algorithm for training. Discharge and rainfall data are took a...

The CERCHAR abrasivity test is very popular for determination of rock abrasivity. An accurate estimation of the CERCHAR abrasivity index (CAI) is useful for excavation operation costs. This paper presents a model to calculate CAI based on the gene expression programming (GEP) approach. This model is trained and tested based on a database collected from the experimental results available in the ...

the present research was planned to evaluate the skill of linear stochastic models known as arima and multiplicative seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (sarima) model in the quantitative forecasting of the standard runoff index (sri) in karkheh basin. to this end, sri was computed in monthly and seasonal time scales in 10 hydrometric stations in 1974-75 to 2012-13 period of time ...

accurate prediction of municipal solid waste’s quality and quantity is crucial for designing and programming municipal solid waste management system. but predicting the amount of generated waste is difficult task because various parameters affect it and its fluctuation is high. in this research with application of feed forward artificial neural network, an appropriate model for predicting the...

In this study, a freshly fitted forecast model is put up against standard procedure for comparison. But first, the essay makes distinction between confusing notion of prediction model's accuracy measure and comparison models in terms gauging their relative absolute measures various scenarios. A by itself does not give complete picture how much better newly than other benchmark built from same d...
