While engineers have been quantifying rainfall-runoff processes since the mid-19th century, it is only in the last decade that artificial neural network models have been applied to the same task. This paper evaluates two neural networks in this context: the popular multilayer perceptron (MLP), and the radial basis function network (RBF). Using six-hourly rainfall-runoff data for the River Yangt...

Received Jul 22, 2012 Revised Oct 23, 2012 Accepted Nov 14, 2012 Time series forecasting is an active research area that has drawn considerable attention for applications in a variety of areas. Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models are one of the most important time series models used in financial market forecasting over the past three decades but not very often used to forec...

This article presents the results of reviewing predictive capacity Google Trends for national elections in Chile. The electoral between Michelle Bachelet and Sebastián Piñera 2006, Eduardo Frei 2010, Evelyn Matthei 2013, Alejandro Guillier 2017, Gabriel Boric José Antonio Kast 2021 were reviewed. time series analyzed organized on basis relative searches candidacies, assisted by R software, main...

It is an important issue to study the prediction precision of Particulate Matter 2.5, PM2.5 (28 μg/m3), concentration change. The concentration of PM2.5 is influenced by many factors, and its change is characterized by non-linearity and randomness. This paper establishes a prediction model of PM2.5 concentration change to fit the nonlinear and random trend by combining Auto-Regressive Integrate...

This paper presents a predictive study applied to a manufacturing equipment in order to predict malfunctions, and consequently enabling predictive maintenance practices. ARIMA forecasting methods are successfully compared with neural networks models, both used over data obtained from a monitoring system that continuously keeps track of the relevant equipment parameters. The results show that bo...

in this study, the situation of iran, u.s and turkey's pistachio export is investigated. to this purpose, revealed comparative advantage (rca) index is calculated based on agricultural and total economy export, separately, then forecasted by using auto- regressive integrated moving average (arima) approached, for 2008-2013. the results show that considering both commodity baskets, turkey a...

In this article, we forecast crude oil and natural gas spot prices at a daily frequency based on two classification techniques: artificial neural networks (ANN) and support vector machines (SVM). As a benchmark, we utilize an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) specification. We evaluate outof-sample forecast based on encompassing tests and mean-squared prediction error (MSPE). We ...

artificial neural networks are used in many smart apparatus and different fields such as signal processing pattern diagnoses, military systems, medicine, financial systems, and artificial intelligence. in this article using quality of neural networks in optimizing energy cost in moving limb and its effectiveness in organization a cognitive function founded by presenting an algorithm for use in ...
