background: the complexity of the fermentation processes is mainly due to the complex nature of the biological systems which follow the life in a non-linear manner. joined performance of artificial neural network (ann) and genetic algorithm (ga) in finding optimal solutions in experimentation has found to be superior compared to the statistical methods. range of applications of β-cyclodextrin (...

accurate and effective electricity price forecasting is critical to market participants in order to make an appropriate risk management in competitive electricity markets. market participants rely on price forecasts to decide on their bidding strategies, allocate assets and plan facility investments. however, due to its time variant behavior and non-linear and non-stationary nature, electricity...

the improvement of high-through-put gene profiling based microarrays technology has provided monitoring the expression value of thousands of genes simultaneously. detailed examination of changes in expression levels of genes can help physicians to have effi cient diagnosing, classification of tumors and cancer’s types as well as effective treatments. finding genes that can classify the group of...

the purpose of this research is to detect manipulation of stock prices in tehran stock exchange that it has been done through hybrid genetic algorithm-artificial neural network (ann-ga) model and the simplified quadratic discriminant function (sqdf) model. in this study, the variables of price, trading volume and free float stock to match the results of the model and the actual data of price ma...

background : in medical studies, when the joint prediction about occurrence of two events should be anticipated, a statistical bivariate model is used. due to the limitations of usual statistical models, other methods such as artificial neural network (ann) and hybrid models could be used. in this paper, we propose a hybrid artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ann-ga) model to predictio...

protection systems have vital role in network reliability in short circuit mode and proper operating for relays. current transformer often in transient and saturation under short circuit mode causes mal-operation of relays which will have undesirable effects. therefore, proper and quick identification of current transformer saturation is so important. in this paper, an artificial neural network...

Introduction This study is an effort to diagnose breast cancer by processing the quantitative and qualitative information obtained from medical infrared imaging. The medical infrared imaging is free from any harmful radiation and it is one of the best advantages of the proposed method. By analyzing this information, the best diagnostic parameters among the available parameters are selected and ...

Most of existing researches for multi response optimization are based on regression analysis. However, the artificial neural network can be applied for the problem. In this paper, two approaches are proposed by consideration of both methods. In the first approach, regression model of the controllable factors and S/N ratio of each response has been achieved, then a fuzzy programming has been app...
