An innovative neural-fuzzy clustering method is for predicting cluster (anomaly / background) of each new sample with the probability of its presence. This method which is a combination of the Fuzzy C-Means clustering method (FCM) and the General Regression Neural Network (GRNN), is an attempt to first divide the samples in the region by fuzzy method with the probability of being in each cluster and then with the results of this Practice, the artificial neural network is trained, and can analyze the new data entered in the region with the probable percentage of the clusters. More clearly, after a full mineral exploration, the sample can be attributed to a certain probable percentage of anomalies. To test the accuracy of this clustering in the form of the theory alone, a case study was conducted on the results of the analysis of regional alluvial sediments data in Birjand, IRAN, which resulted in satisfactory results. This software is written in MATLAB and its first application in mining engineering. This algorithm can be used in other similar applications in various sciences.

Clustering is an unsupervised machine learning technique with many practical applications that has gathered extensive research interest. Aside from deterministic or probabilistic techniques, fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM) is also a common clustering technique. Since the advent of the FCM method, many improvements have been made to increase clustering efficiency. These improvements focus on adjusting the membership representation of elements in the clusters, or on fuzzifying and defuzzifying techniques, as well as the distance function between elements. This study proposes a novel fuzzy clustering algorithm using multiple different fuzzification coefficients depending on the characteristics of each data sample. The proposed fuzzy clustering method has similar calculation steps to FCM with some modifications. The formulas are derived to ensure convergence. The main contribution of this approach is the utilization of multiple fuzzification coefficients as opposed to only one coefficient in the original FCM algorithm. The new algorithm is then evaluated with experiments on several common datasets and the results show that the proposed algorithm is more efficient compared to the original FCM as well as other clustering methods.

A new algorithm for training radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is presented in this paper. This algorithm is based on the dynamic fuzzy clustering method (DFCM). The algorithm has a number of advantages compared to the traditional method based on k-means. For example, it does not need to know the number of the hidden nodes and to predicts more accurately. Due to these advantages, this method proves to be suitable for developing models for complex nonlinear systems.

We first propose a Parallel Space Search Algorithm (PSSA) and then introduce a design of Polynomial Fuzzy Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (PFRBFNN) based on Nonsymmetric Fuzzy Clustering Method (NSFCM) and PSSA. The PSSA is a parallel optimization algorithm realized by using Hierarchical Fair Competition strategy. NSFCM is essentially an improved fuzzy clustering method, and the good performance in the design of “conventional” Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN) has been proven. In the design of PFRBFNN, NSFCM is used to design the premise part of PFRBFNN, while the consequence part is realized by means of weighted least square (WLS) method. Furthermore, HFC-PSSA is exploited here to optimize the proposed neural network. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed neural network leads to better performance in comparison to some existing neurofuzzy models encountered in the literature.

Objective: The estimation accuracy of wind power is an important subject of concern for reliable grid operations and taking part in open access. So, with an objective to improve the wind power forecasting accuracy. Methods: This article presents Wavelet Transform (WT) based General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) with statistical time series input selection technique. Results: The results of the proposed model are compared with four different models namely naïve benchmark model, feed forward neural networks, recurrent neural networks and GRNN on the basis of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) performance metric. Conclusion: The historical data used by the presented models has been collected from the Ontario Electricity Market for the year 2011 to 2015 and tested for a long time period of more than two years (28 months) from November 2012 to February 2015 with one month estimation moving window.

Abstract Background Paclitaxel is a well-known chemotherapeutic agent widely applied as a therapy for various types of cancers. In vitro culture of Corylus avellana has been named as a promising and low-cost strategy for paclitaxel production. Fungal elicitors have been reported as an impressive strategy for improving paclitaxel biosynthesis in cell suspension culture (CSC) of C. avellana. The objectives of this research were to forecast and optimize growth and paclitaxel biosynthesis based on four input variables including cell extract (CE) and culture filtrate (CF) concentration levels, elicitor adding day and CSC harvesting time in C. avellana cell culture, as a case study, using general regression neural network-fruit fly optimization algorithm (GRNN-FOA) via data mining approach for the first time. Results GRNN-FOA models (0.88–0.97) showed the superior prediction performances as compared to regression models (0.57–0.86). Comparative analysis of multilayer perceptron-genetic algorithm (MLP-GA) and GRNN-FOA showed very slight difference between two models for dry weight (DW), intracellular and extracellular paclitaxel in testing subset, the unseen data. However, MLP-GA was slightly more accurate as compared to GRNN-FOA for total paclitaxel and extracellular paclitaxel portion in testing subset. The slight difference was observed in maximum growth and paclitaxel biosynthesis optimized by FOA and GA. The optimization analysis using FOA on developed GRNN-FOA models showed that optimal CE [4.29% (v/v)] and CF [5.38% (v/v)] concentration levels, elicitor adding day (17) and harvesting time (88 h and 19 min) can lead to highest paclitaxel biosynthesis (372.89 µg l−1). Conclusions Great accordance between the predicted and observed values of DW, intracellular, extracellular and total yield of paclitaxel, and also extracellular paclitaxel portion support excellent performance of developed GRNN-FOA models. Overall, GRNN-FOA as new mathematical tool may pave the way for forecasting and optimizing secondary metabolite production in plant in vitro culture.
