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...

Traffic flow forecasting, the core element of intelligent transportation system, plays an important role in traffic information services and traffic guidance. Since neural network prediction needs plenty of training samples, it cannot guarantee the real-timeness of traffic flow forecasting. In this paper, a GMDH network was constructed by self-organization, and the network was applied to traffi...

The isolation and sequence of a cDNA clone encoding the complete glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase [gMDH; (S)-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.37] of watermelon cotyledons are presented. Partial cDNA clones were synthesized in a three part strategy, taking advantage of the polymerase chain reaction technology with oligonucleotides based on directly determined amino acid sequences. Subsequent...

We have studied the significance of the N-terminal presequence of watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase [gMDH; (S)-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase; EC 1.1.1.37] in microbody targeting. The yeast Hansenula polymorpha was used as heterologous host for the in vivo expression of various genetically altered watermelon MDH genes, whose protein products were localized by immunocy...

A new methodology for Emergent System Identification is proposed in this paper. The new method applies the self-organizing Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) functional networks, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Genetic Programming (GP) that is effective in identifying complex dynamic systems. The focus of the paper will be on how Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is applied within Grou...
