Artificial neural network (ANN) method was applied for modeling and prediction of mean solar radiation in given atmospheric parameters (temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitable water and month) in Turkey (26–45oE and 36–42oN) during the period of 2004–2006. Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) learning algorithms and logistic sigmoid transfer function were used in the network. In order to train the ne...
