Panel data combine cross-sectional and time-series data. Data on economic, business, social, development issues are often presented in panel In constructing the regression model, it is necessary to take various steps for testing model specifications, including Chow test Hausman test. This study constructed a classical adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (RANFIS). The RANFIS by applying fuzzy ...

Swelling in compacted soils may lead to some damages structures and buildings. For the sake of reducing such damages, soil swelling should be determined, so as make exhibit adequate resistance against a phenomenon. most cases, fully non-linear relations have been observed between parameters contributing soil. As such, determined via either experimentations or prediction models. However, being e...

Sedimentation in reservoirs is an important issue that should be considered for the reservoirs operation and useful life. In this study, application of the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in prediction of the sediment release from the bottom outlet using semi-cylinder for different variables was evaluated. Dimensionless parameters such as dimens...

The paper presents a new hybridization methodology involving Neural, Fuzzy and Rough Computing. A Rough Sets based approximation technique has been proposed based on a certain Neuro – Fuzzy architecture. A New Rough Neuron composition consisting of a combination of a Lower Bound neuron and a Boundary neuron has also been described. The conventional convergence of error in back propagation has b...

This paper proposes a new intelligent scheme using type-2 fuzzy inference system in neural network structure. This type-2 fuzzy neural network system (type-2 FNN) combines the advantages of type-2 fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) and neural networks (NNs). The general FNN system (called type-1 FNN system) has the properties of parallel computation scheme, easy to implement, fuzzy logic inference syst...

A multivariable fuzzy logic controller with Lyapunov adaptive control scheme has been developed for a pH neutralisation process. In this study, the nominal neutralisation process condition exhibit nonlinear dynamics and multi-delayed-effects input variables. The proposed controller uses a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy inference system and it has been optimised by genetic algorithm which minimizing the cl...

in modern agriculture, image processing technique is used for mechanization and intelligent machines instead of humans. one of them is identifying varieties of plants and fruits. identifying plant varieties is important in plant eugenic programs. visual examination of plant leaves and fruits are the common processes for this aim. identification and classification of plants using machine vision ...

the main problem associated with the traditional approach to image classification for the mapping of hydrothermal alteration is that materials not associated with hydrothermal alteration may be erroneously classified as hydrothermally altered due to the similar spectral properties of altered and unaltered minerals. the major objective of this paper is to investigate the potential of a neuro-fuz...
