Abstract The textile bleaching process uses a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution in alkali pH associated with high temperature is the commonly used bleaching procedure in cotton fabric manufacture. The purpose of the bleaching process is to remove the natural colour from cotton to obtain a permanent white colour before dyeing or shape matching. Normally, the visual ratings of whiteness on the cotton are measured by the whiteness index (WI). Notice that lesser research study is focusing on chemical predictive modelling of the WI of cotton fabric than its experimental study. Predictive analytics using predictive modelling can forecast the outcomes that can lead to better-informed cotton quality assurance and control decisions. Up to date, limited study applying least square support vector regression (LSSVR) based model in the textile domain. Hence, the present study was aimed to develop the LSSVR-based model, namely multi-output LSSVR (MLSSVR) using bleaching process variables to predict the WI of cotton. The predictive accuracy of the MLSSVR model is measured by root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and the coefficient of determination (R2), and its results are compared with other regression models including partial least square regression, predictive fuzzy model, locally weighted partial least square regression and locally weighted kernel partial least square regression. The results indicate that the MLSSVR model performed better than other models in predicting the WI as it has 60–1209% lower values of RMSE and MAE as well as it provided the highest R2 values which are up to 0.9985.

This paper motivation is to find the most accurate technique to predict the ground level ozone at Al Jahra station, Kuwait. The data on the meteorological variables (air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, direction and speed of wind) and concentration of seven pollutants of environment (SO2, NO2, NO, CO2, CO, NMHC, and CH4) were applied to forecast the ozone concentration in atmosphere. In this report, three methods (PLS regression, support vector machine (SVM), and multiple least-square regression) were used to predict ground-level ozone. We used Fifteen parameters to evaluate the performance of methods. Multiple least-square regression, partial least square regression (PLS regression), and SVM using linear and radial kernels were the best performers with MAE (mean absolute error) of 9.17x 10-03, 9.72 x 10-03, 9.64 x 10-03, and 9.12 x 10-03, respectively. SVM with polynomial kernel had MAE of 5.46 x 10-02. These results show that these methods could be used to predict ground-level ozone concentrations at Al Jahra station in Kuwait.

Several attempts have been made for estimating the vital swelling index parameter conducted by the expensive and time-consuming Oedometer test. However, they have only focused on the neuron network neglecting other advanced methods that could have increased the predictive capability of models. In order to overcome this limitation, the current study aims to elaborate an alternative model for estimating the swelling index from geotechnical physical parameters. The reliability of the approach is tested through several advanced machine learning methods like Extreme Learning Machine, Deep Neural Network, Support Vector Regression, Random Forest, LASSO regression, Partial Least Square Regression, Ridge Regression, Kernel Ridge, Stepwise Regression, Least Square Regression, and genetic Programing. These methods have been applied for modeling samples consisting of 875 Oedometer tests. Firstly, principal component analysis, Gamma test, and forward selection are utilized to reduce the input variable numbers. Afterward, the advanced techniques have been applied for modeling the proposed optimal inputs, and their accuracy models were evaluated through six statistical indicators and using K-fold cross validation approach. The comparative study shows the efficiency of FS-RF model. This elaborated model provided the most appropriate prediction, closest to the experimental values compared with other models and formulae proposed by the previous studies.

Conventional methods of plant nutrient estimation for nutrient management need a huge number of leaf or tissue samples and extensive chemical analysis, which is time-consuming and expensive. Remote sensing is a viable tool to estimate the plant’s nutritional status to determine the appropriate amounts of fertilizer inputs. The aim of the study was to use remote sensing to characterize the foliar nutrient status of mango through the development of spectral indices, multivariate analysis, chemometrics, and machine learning modeling of the spectral data. A spectral database within the 350–1050 nm wavelength range of the leaf samples and leaf nutrients were analyzed for the development of spectral indices and multivariate model development. The normalized difference and ratio spectral indices and multivariate models–partial least square regression (PLSR), principal component regression, and support vector regression (SVR) were ineffective in predicting any of the leaf nutrients. An approach of using PLSR-combined machine learning models was found to be the best to predict most of the nutrients. Based on the independent validation performance and summed ranks, the best performing models were cubist (R2 ≥ 0.91, the ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) ≥ 3.3, and the ratio of performance to interquartile distance (RPIQ) ≥ 3.71) for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, SVR (R2 ≥ 0.88, RPD ≥ 2.73, RPIQ ≥ 3.31) for calcium, iron, copper, boron, and elastic net (R2 ≥ 0.95, RPD ≥ 4.47, RPIQ ≥ 6.11) for magnesium and sulfur. The results of the study revealed the potential of using hyperspectral remote sensing data for non-destructive estimation of mango leaf macro- and micro-nutrients. The developed approach is suggested to be employed within operational retrieval workflows for precision management of mango orchard nutrients.

Diabetes is a chronic illness that affects millions of people worldwide and requires regular monitoring of a patient’s blood glucose level. Currently, blood glucose is monitored by a minimally invasive process where a small droplet of blood is extracted and passed to a glucometer—however, this process is uncomfortable for the patient. In this paper, a smartphone video-based noninvasive technique is proposed for the quantitative estimation of glucose levels in the blood. The videos are collected steadily from the tip of the subject’s finger using smartphone cameras and subsequently converted into a Photoplethysmography (PPG) signal. A Gaussian filter is applied on top of the Asymmetric Least Square (ALS) method to remove high-frequency noise, optical noise, and motion interference from the raw PPG signal. These preprocessed signals are then used for extracting signal features such as systolic and diastolic peaks, the time differences between consecutive peaks (DelT), first derivative, and second derivative peaks. Finally, the features are fed into Principal Component Regression (PCR), Partial Least Square Regression (PLS), Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Random Forest Regression (RFR) models for the prediction of glucose level. Out of the four statistical learning techniques used, the PLS model, when applied to an unbiased dataset, has the lowest standard error of prediction (SEP) at 17.02 mg/dL.
