Abstract In this study, a hybrid model of least square support vector machine-gamma test (LSSVM-GT) is proposed for estimating daily ETo under arid conditions of Zahedan station, Iran. Gamma test was used for selecting the best input vectors for models. The estimated ETo by LSSVM-GT model with different kernels of RBF, linear and polynomial, were compared with other hybrid approaches including ANN-GT, ANFIS-GT, and empirical equations. The gamma test revealed that climate variables of minimum and maximum air temperature and wind speed are the most important parameters. The LSSVM model performed better than the ANFIS and ANN models when similar meteorological input variables are used. Also, the performance of the three models of LSSVM, ANFIS, and ANN were better than the empirical equations such as Blaney–Criddle and Hargreaves–Samani. The RMSE, MAE, and R2 for the best input vector by LSSVM were 0.1 mm day−1, 0.13 mm day−1, and 0.99, respectively. The threshold of relative absolute error of 95% predicted values by LSSVM, ANN, and ANFIS models were about 8.4%, 9.4%, and 24%, respectively. Based on the comparison of the overall performances, the developed LSSVM-GT approach is greatly capable of providing favorable predictions with high precision in arid regions of Iran.

The ability of obtain accurate information on future river flow is a fundamental key for water resources planning, and management. Traditionally, single models have been introduced to predict the future value of river flow. This paper investigates the ability of Principal Component Analysis as dimensionality reduction technique and combined with single Support Vector Machine and Least Square Support Vector Machine, referred to as PCA-SVM and PCA-LSSVM. This study also presents comparison between the proposed models with single models of SVM and LSSVM. These models are ranked based on four statistical measures namely Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Correlation Coefficient ( ), and Correlation of Efficiency (CE). The results shows that PCA combined with LSSVM has better performance compared to other models. The best ranked models are then measured using Mean of Forecasting Error (MFE) to determine its forecast rate. PCA-LSSVM proven to be better model as it also indicates a small percentage of under-predicted values compared to the observed river flow values of 0.89% for Tualang river while over-predicted by 2. 08% for Bernam river. The study concludes by recommending the PCA as dimension reduction approach combined with LSSVM for river flow forecasting due to better prediction results and stability than those achieved from single models

In order to effectively predict the sieving efficiency of a vibrating screen, experiments to investigate the sieving efficiency were carried out. Relation between sieving efficiency and other working parameters in a vibrating screen such as mesh aperture size, screen length, inclination angle, vibration amplitude, and vibration frequency was analyzed. Based on the experiments, least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) was established to predict the sieving efficiency, and adaptive genetic algorithm and cross-validation algorithm were used to optimize the parameters in LS-SVM. By the examination of testing points, the prediction performance of least square support vector machine is better than that of the existing formula and neural network, and its average relative error is only 4.2%.

n binary classification problems, two classes of data seem tobe different from each other. It is expected to be more complicated dueto the number of data points of clusters in each class also be different.Traditional algorithms as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Twin Support Vector Machine (TSVM), or Least Square Twin Support VectorMachine (LSTSVM) cannot sufficiently exploit information about thenumber of data points in each cluster of the data. Which may be effectto the accuracy of classification problems. In this paper, we proposes anew Improved Least Square - Support Vector Machine (called ILS-SVM)for binary classification problems with a class-vs-clusters strategy. Experimental results show that the ILS-SVM training time is faster thanthat of TSVM, and the ILS-SVM accuracy is better than LSTSVM andTSVM in most cases.

Abstract Each project management system aims to complete the project within its identified objectives: budget, time, and quality. It is achieving the project within the defined deadline that required careful scheduling, that be attained early. Due to the nature of unique repetitive construction projects, time contingency and project uncertainty are necessary for accurate scheduling. It should be integrated and flexible to accommodate the changes without adversely affecting the construction project’s total completion time. Repetitive planning and scheduling methods are more effective and essential. However, they need continuous development because of the evolution of execution methods, essentially based on the repetitive construction projects’ composition of identical production units. This study develops a mathematical model to forecast repetitive construction projects using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique. The software (WEKA 3.9.1©2016) has been used in the process of developing the mathematical model. The number of factors affecting the planning and scheduling of the repetitive projects has been identified through a questionnaire that analyzed its results using SPSS V22 software. Three accuracy measurements, correlation coefficient (R), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE), were used to check the mathematical model and to compare the actual values with predicted values. The results showed that the SVM technique was more precise than those calculated by the conventional methods and was found the best generalization with R 97 %, MAE 3.6 %, and RMSE 7 %.

Background: Cell lytic enzyme is a kind of highly evolved protein, which can destroy the cell structure and kill the bacteria. Compared with antibiotics, cell lytic enzyme will not cause serious problem of drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria. Thus, the study of cell wall lytic enzymes aims at finding an efficient way for curing bacteria infectious. Compared with using antibiotics, the problem of drug resistance becomes more serious. Therefore, it is a good choice for curing bacterial infections by using cell lytic enzymes. Cell lytic enzyme includes endolysin and autolysin and the difference between them is the purpose of the break of cell wall. The identification of the type of cell lytic enzymes is meaningful for the study of cell wall enzymes. Objective: In this article, our motivation is to predict the type of cell lytic enzyme. Cell lytic enzyme is helpful for killing bacteria, so it is meaningful for study the type of cell lytic enzyme. However, it is time consuming to detect the type of cell lytic enzyme by experimental methods. Thus, an efficient computational method for the type of cell lytic enzyme prediction is proposed in our work. Method: We propose a computational method for the prediction of endolysin and autolysin. First, a data set containing 27 endolysins and 41 autolysins is built. Then the protein is represented by tripeptides composition. The features are selected with larger confidence degree. At last, the classifier is trained by the labeled vectors based on support vector machine. The learned classifier is used to predict the type of cell lytic enzyme. Results: Following the proposed method, the experimental results show that the overall accuracy can attain 97.06%, when 44 features are selected. Compared with Ding's method, our method improves the overall accuracy by nearly 4.5% ((97.06-92.9)/92.9%). The performance of our proposed method is stable, when the selected feature number is from 40 to 70. The overall accuracy of tripeptides optimal feature set is 94.12%, and the overall accuracy of Chou's amphiphilic PseAAC method is 76.2%. The experimental results also demonstrate that the overall accuracy is improved by nearly 18% when using the tripeptides optimal feature set. Conclusion: The paper proposed an efficient method for identifying endolysin and autolysin. In this paper, support vector machine is used to predict the type of cell lytic enzyme. The experimental results show that the overall accuracy of the proposed method is 94.12%, which is better than some existing methods. In conclusion, the selected 44 features can improve the overall accuracy for identification of the type of cell lytic enzyme. Support vector machine performs better than other classifiers when using the selected feature set on the benchmark data set.
