Weather prediction is an ever challenging area of investigation for scientists. The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) has been widely used for modeling different kinds of nonlinear systems including rainfall forecasting. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) combines the capabilities of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) to solve different ki...

introduction: epilepsy is a clinical syndrome in which seizures have a tendency to recur. sodium valproate is the most effective drug in the treatment of all types of generalized seizures. finding the optimal dosage (the lowest effective dose) of sodium valproate is a real challenge to all neurologists. in this study, a new approach based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) was pre...

the sales proceeds are the most important factors for keeping alive profitable companies. so sales and budget sales are considered as important parameters influencing all other decision variables in an organization. therefore, poor forecasting can lead to great loses in organization caused by inaccurate and non-comprehensive production and human resource planning. in this research a coherent so...

determining the distribution of heavy metals in groundwater is important in developing appropriate management strategies at mine sites. in this paper, the application of artificial intelligence (ai) methods to data analysis,namely artificial neural network (ann), hybrid ann with biogeography-based optimization (ann-bbo), and multi-output adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (manfis) to estima...

This paper proposes a neural network for building and optimizing fuzzy models. The network can be regarded both as an adaptive fuzzy inference system with the capability of learning fuzzy rules from data, and as a connectionist architecture provided with linguistic meaning. Fuzzy rules are extracted from training examples by a hybrid learning scheme comprised of two phases: rule generation phas...

This paper presents a novel adaptive neuro-fuzzy based speed controller for vector controlled induction motor drive. The proposed neuro-fuzzy controller incorporates fuzzy logic algorithm with a five-layer artificial neural network (ANN) structure. The conventional PI controller is replaced by Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), which tunes the fuzzy inference system with hybrid lear...

This paper applies both the neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for forecasting short-term chaotic traffic volumes and compares the results. The architecture of the neural network consists of the input vector, one hidden layer and output layer. Bayesian regularization is employed to obtain the effective number of neurons in the hidden layer. The input variables and target o...

using current employee performance data to predict the future behavior of the applicants is an interesting area which can broaden new horizons of knowledge lay in the organization. because of inherent ambiguity and uncertainty, cognitive limitations of the human mind make unknown behaviors of very complex systems difficult to predict. as a consequence, it is necessary to model the imprecise mod...

a reinforced concrete member in which the total span or shear span is especially small in relation to its depth is called a deep beam. in this study, a new approach based on the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (anfis) is used to predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete (rc) deep beams. a constitutive relationship was obtained correlating the ultimate load with seven mechanical a...

toxicity of 38 aliphatic carboxylic acids was studied using non-linear quantitative structure-toxicityrelationship (qstr) models. the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) was used to construct thenonlinear qstr models in all stages of study. two anfis models were developed based upon differentsubsets of descriptors. the first one used log ow k and lumo e as inputs and had good predicti...
