nowadays, due to increasing the complexity of ic engines, calibration task becomes more severe and the need to use surrogate models for investigating of the engine behavior arises. accordingly, many black box modeling approaches have been used in this context among which network based models are of the most powerful approaches thanks to their flexible structures. in this paper four network base...

The group method of data handling (GMDH) and differential evolution (DE) population-based algorithm are two well-known nonlinear methods of mathematical modeling. In this paper, both methods are explained and a new design methodology which is a hybrid of GMDH and DE is proposed. The proposed method constructs a GMDH network model of a population of promising DE solutions. The new hybrid impleme...

E-mail address: [email protected] The main disadvantage of self-organizing polynomial neural networks (SOPNN) automatically structured and trained by the group method of data handling (GMDH) algorithm is a partial optimization of model weights as the GMDH algorithm optimizes on...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been used increasingly for modelling com-plex hydrological processes. In this paper, we present a self-organizing polynomial neural network (SOPNN) algorithm, which combines the theory of bio-cybernetic self-organizing polynomial (SOP) with the artificial neural network (ANN) approach. With the SOP feature of seeking the best combination of polynomial mode...

Among the foremost frequent and vital tasks for hydrologist is to deliver a high accuracy estimation on hydrological variable, which reliable. It essential flood risk evaluation project, hydropower development developing efficient water resource management. Presently, approach of Group Method Data Handling (GMDH) has been widely applied in modelling sector. Yet, comparatively, same tool not vas...

In the present study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are used to predict the pressure drop value (Δp ) of Al2O3-water nanofluid in flat tubes. Δp  is predicted taking into account five input variables: tube flattening (H), inlet volumetric flow rate (Qi  ), wall heat flux (qnw  ), nanoparticle volume fraction (Φ) and nanoparticle diameter (dp ...

Traffic flow forecasting, the core element of intelligent transportation system, plays an important role in traffic information services and traffic guidance. Since neural network prediction needs plenty of training samples, it cannot guarantee the real-timeness of traffic flow forecasting. In this paper, a GMDH network was constructed by self-organization, and the network was applied to traffi...

stable. The main results are: data normalization is fundamental to obtain better precision, the larger the number of data points, the lesser the error, the error decreases with the decreasing of noise level. The next step is to develop an Ipen nuclear research reactor model and apply the GMDH methodology to predict the reactor variables. This work is a part of a Monitoring and Diagnosis System ...

The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes traditional System Identification and introduces the use of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for determining the coefficients of a simple autoregressive moving average model (SwARMA). Section 3 explains Particle Swarm Optimization. Section 4 describes the results of using PSO for determining the ARMA model parameter (SwARMA) f...
