Single hidden layer artificial neural network models versus multiple linear regression model in forecasting the time series of total ozone
Journal Title: International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology - Year 2007, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Present paper endeavors to develop predictive artificial neural network model for forecasting the mean monthly total ozone concentration over Arosa, Switzerland. Single hidden layer neural network models with variable number of nodes have been developed and their performances have been evaluated using the method of least squares and error estimation. Their performances have been compared with multiple linear regression model. Ultimately, single-hidden-layer model with 8 hidden nodes have been identified as the best predictive model.

Volatile organic compounds emitted from hardwood drying as a function of processing parameters
During the drying of wood, volatile organic compounds are emitted. These emissions contribute, in the presence of nitrogen oxides and sunlight, to the formation of ground level ozone and other harmful photo-oxidants. Emi...
Assessment of the mycoflora of commercial poultry feeds sold in the humid tropical environment of Imo State, Nigeria
This study was carried out to identify the common moulds growing in selected commercial poultry feed sold in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. Forty-eight bulk samples derived from192 bags of feeds were collected from broiler...
