today, stock investment has become an important mean of national finance. apparently, it is significant for investors to estimate the stock price and select the trading chance accurately in advance, which will bring high return to stockholders. in the past, long-term trading processes and many technical analysis methods for stock market were put forward. however, stock market is a nonlinear sys...

this is the first attempt at process modeling in terms of predictive control using a hierachical method based on regression analysis and artificial neural networks (anns). this hierachical method leads to the reliability improvement of neural model of the process in predicting (extrapolation and interpolation) the process output. such an outlook makes it possible to predict the proper input set...

This paper presents a feed forward back-propagation neural network model to predict the retained tensile strength and design chart in order to estimation of the strength reduction factors of nonwoven geotextiles due to installation process. A database of 34 full-scale field tests were utilized to train, validate and test the developed neural network and regression model. The results show that t...

Introduction: Identifying the potential firing patterns following different brain regions under normal and abnormal conditions increases our understanding of events at the level of neural interactions in the brain. Furthermore, it is important to be capable of modeling the potential neural activities to build precise artificial neural networks. The Izhikevich model is one of the simplest biolog...

conventionally, regression and time series analyses have been employed in modeling water demand forecasts. in recent years, the relatively new technique of neural networks (nns) has been proposed as an efficient tool for modeling and forecasting. the objective of this study is to investigate the relatively new technique of gmdh – type neural networks for the use of forecasting long – term urban...

Precipitation forecasting due to its random nature in space and time always faced with many problems and this uncertainty reduces the validity of the forecasting model. Nowadays nonlinear networks as intelligent systems to predict such complex phenomena are widely used. One of the methods that have been considered in recent years in the fields of hydrology is use of wavelet transform as a moder...

in this study, a model for estimating the nfs thermal conductivity by using a gmdh-pnn has been investigated. nfs thermal conductivity was modeled as a function of the nanoparticle size, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction and the thermal conductivity of the base fluid and nanoparticles. for this purpose, the developed network contains 8 layers with 2 inputs in each layer and also trainin...

the control of fluidized-bed operations processes is still one of the major areas of research due to the complexity of the process and the inherent nonlinearity and varying dynamics involved in its operation. there are varieties of problems in chemical engineering that can be formulated as nonlinear programming (nlps). the quality of the developed solution significantly affects the performance ...

many efforts have been made to model the the hot deformation (dynamic recrystallization) flow curves of different materials. phenomenological constitutive models, physical-based constitutive models and artificial neural network (ann) models are the main methods used for this purpose. however, there is no report on the modeling of warm deformation (dynamic spheroidization) flow curves of any kin...
