This paper presents the results of statistical modeling of the bauxite leaching process, as part of Bayer technology for an alumina production. Based on the data, collected during the period between 2008 - 2009 (659 days) from the industrial production in the alumina factory Birac, Zvornik (Bosnia and Herzegovina), the statistical modeling of the above mentioned process was performed. The dependant variable, which was the main target of the modeling procedure, was the degree of Al2O3 recovery from boehmite bauxite during the leaching process. The statistical model was developed as an attempt to define the dependence of the Al2O3 degree of recovery as a function of input variables of the leaching process: composition of bauxite, composition of the sodium aluminate solution and the caustic module of the solution before and after the leaching process. As the statistical modeling tools, Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were used. The fitting level, obtained by using the MLRA, was R2 = 0.463, while ANN resulted with the value of R2 = 0.723. This way, the model, defined by using the ANN methodology, can be used for the efficient prediction of the Al2O3 degree of recovery as a function of the process inputs, under the industrial conditions of the alumina factory Birac, Zvornik. The proposed model also has got a universal character and, as such, is applicable in other factories practicing the Bayer technology for alumina production.

Abstract This paper presents the results of nonlinear statistical modeling of the bauxite leaching process, as part of Bayer technology for alumina production. Based on the data, collected during the year 2011 from the industrial production in the alumina factory Birač, Zvornik (Bosnia and Herzegovina), nonlinear statistical modeling of the industrial process was performed. The model was developed as an attempt to define the dependence of the Al2O3 degree of recovery as a function of input parameters of the leaching process: content of Al2O3, SiO2 and Fe2O3 in the bauxite, as well as content of Na2Ocaustic and Al2O3 in the starting sodium aluminate solution. As the statistical modeling tool, Adaptive Network Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was used. The model, defined by the ANFIS methodology, expressed a high fitting level and accordingly can be used for the efficient prediction of the Al2O3 degree of recovery, as a function of the process inputs under the industrial conditions.

ABSTRACT Accurate estimation of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration in inland waters through remote-sensing techniques is complicated by local differences in the optical properties of water. In this study, we applied multiple linear regression (MLR), artificial neural network (ANN), nonparametric multiplicative regression (NPMR) and four models (Appel, Kahru, FAI and O14a) to estimate the Chl -a concentration from combinations of spectral bands from the MODIS sensor. The MLR, NPMR and ANN models were calibrated and validated using in-situ Chl -a measurements. The results showed that a simple and efficient model, developed and validated through multiple linear regression analysis, offered advantages (i.e., better performance and fewer input variables) in comparison with ANN, NPMR and four models (Appel, Kahru, FAI and O14a). In addition, we observed that in a large shallow subtropical lake, where the wind and hydrodynamics are essential factors in the spatial heterogeneity (Chl-a distribution), the MLR model adjusted using the specific point dataset, performed better than using the total dataset, which suggest that would not be appropriate to generalize a single model to estimate Chl-a in these large shallow lakes from total datasets. Our approach is a useful tool to estimate Chl -a concentration in meso-oligotrophic shallow waters and corroborates the spatial heterogeneity in these ecosystems.

Abstract This article presents the results of the statistical modeling of copper losses in the silicate slag of the sulfide concentrates smelting process. The aim of this study was to define the correlation dependence of the degree of copper losses in the silicate slag on the following parameters of technological processes: SiO2, FeO, Fe3O4, CaO and Al2O3 content in the slag and copper content in the matte. Multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA), artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive network based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were used as tools for mathematical analysis of the indicated problem. The best correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.719) of the final model was obtained using the ANFIS modeling approach.

Crime prediction research using AI has been actively conducted to predict potential crimes—generally, crime locations or time series flows. It is possible to predict these potential crimes in detail if crime characteristics, such as detailed techniques, targets, and environmental factors affecting the crime’s occurrence, are considered simultaneously. Therefore, this study aims to categorize theft by performing k-modes clustering using crime-related characteristics as variables and to propose an ANN model that predicts the derived categorizations. As the prediction of theft types allows people to estimate the features of the possibly most frequent thefts in random areas in advance, it enables the efficient deployment of police and the most appropriate tactical measures. Dongjak District was selected as the target area for analysis; thefts in the district showed four types of clusters. Environmental factors, representative elements affecting theft occurrence, were used as input data for a prediction model, while the factors affecting each cluster were derived through multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results, input variables were selected for the ANN model training per cluster, and the model was implemented to predict theft type based on environmental factors. This study is significant for providing diversity to prediction methods using ANN.

Energy consumption in developing countries is sharply increasing due to higher economic growth of industrialization along with population growth and urbanization. This paper provides a multiple linear regression evidence to illustrate the association between final energy consumption and three economic variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to obtain a predictive equation and to check for linearity assumption. Three input variables, viz. growth domestic product, population, and tourism are the predictors for final energy consumption. Time series yearly data of final energy consumption and the three input variables for the year 2001 until 2012 was retrieved from various databases. It is found that there was a significant variation in the final energy consumption explained by the three variables. The multiple linear regression equation indicates that the ‘population’ is the most influential variable in predicting final energy consumption.
