An improved neuro-fuzzy based group method of data handling using the particle swarm optimization (NF-GMDH-PSO) is developed as an adaptive learning network to predict the localized scour downstream of a sluice gate with an apron. The input characteristic parameters affecting the scour depth are the sediment size and its gradation, apron length, sluice gate opening, and the flow conditions upst...

In this paper, we propose new computational intelligence sequential hybrid architectures involving Genetic Programming (GP) and Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) viz. GP-GMDH, GMDH-GP and recurrent architecture for Genetic Programming (GP) for software cost estimation. Three linear ensembles based on (i) arithmetic mean (ii) geometric mean and (iii) harmonic mean are also developed. We also ...

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...

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 ...

This paper presents a constructive approach to neural network modeling of polynomial harmonic functions. This is an approach to growing higher-order networks like these build by the multilayer GMDH algorithm using activation polynomials. Two contributions for enhancement of the neural network learning are offered: (1) extending the expressive power of the network representation with another com...

Genetic Algorithm (GA) is deployed for optimal design of configuration involved in GMDH-type neural networks which is used for modelling of centre deflection, hoop strain and thickness strain of explosive forming process. In this way, a new encoding scheme is presented to genetically design the generalized GMDH-type neural networks in which the connectivity configuration in such networks is not...

Neural networks (NN) are a relatively new option to model growth in animal production systems. One self-organizing submodel of artificial NN is the group method of data handling (GMDH)-type NN. The use of such self-organizing networks has led to successful application of the GMDH algorithm over a broad range of areas in engineering, science, and economics. The present study aimed to apply the G...
