Multiple Linear Regression Models

The oscillation of asphalt mix composition on a daily basis significantly affects the achieved properties of the asphalt during production, thus resulting in conducting expensive laboratory tests to determine existing properties and predicting the future results. To decrease the amount of such tests, a development of artificial neural network and multiple linear regression models in the prediction process of predetermined dependent variables air void and soluble binder content is presented. The input data were obtained from a single laboratory and consists of testing 386 mixes of hot mix asphalt (HMA). It was found that it is possible and desirable to apply such models in the prediction process of the HMA properties. The final aim of the research was to compare results of the prediction models on an independent dataset and analyze them through the boundary conditions of technical regulations and the standard EN 13108-21.

This study aims at providing a back propagation-artificial neural network (BP-ANN) model on forecasting the water quality change trend of Qiantang River basin. To achieve this goal, a three-layer (one input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer) BP-ANN with the LM regularization training algorithm was used. Water quality variables such as pH value, dissolved oxygen, permanganate index and ammonia-nitrogen was selected as the input data to obtain the output of the neural network. The ANN structure with 17 hidden neurons obtained the best selection. The comparison between the original measured and forecast values of the ANN model shows that the relative errors, with a few exceptions, were lower than 9%. The results indicated that the BP neural network can be satisfactorily applied to forecast precise water quality parameters and is suitable for pre-alarm of water quality trend.
