For software developers, accurately forecasting software effort is very important. In the field of software engineering, it is also a very challenging topic. Miscalculated software effort in the early phase might cause a serious consequence. It not only effects the schedule, but also increases the cost price. It might cause a huge deficit. Because all of the different software development team has it is own way to calculate the software effort, the factors affecting project development are also varies. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a model which combines genetic algorithm (GA) with support vector machines (SVM). We can find the best parameter of SVM regression by the proposed model, and make more accurate prediction. During the research, we test and verify our model by using the historical data in COCOMO. We will show the results by prediction level (PRED) and mean magnitude of relative error (MMRE).

The Cost

The self-sensing magnetic bearing can reduce the cost and the axial size of the magnetic bearing and increase its reliability. A mixed-kernel least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) forecasting model is proposed for self-sensing technique of a hybrid magnetic bearing. The structure and mathematical model of the radial-axial hybrid magnetic bearing are introduced. Based on the principle of the mixed-kernel LS-SVM, the nonlinear forecasting model between the current and the displacement which realizes the displacement self-sensing control is built through genetic algorithm. Simulation has done to verify the validity and feasibility of proposed method.

The Cost

This research work is aimed at to provide effective cost estimation methodology emphasize on cost effort and time . This paper summarizes the cost effort estimation of most conventionally used models like organic and semi-detached models using an improved version of genetic algorithm that enhances an empirical methodology to reduce the cost factor and time factor in software projects. Constructive cost model(Cocomo model) is broadly used for the fruitful valuation of cost estimation which is based on KLOC method(thousands of lines of code).This method yields beneficial result in case of lines of code method but lacks in terms of concept and logics. The same is estimated directly and is computed using the function point analysis. In the software development lifecycle, the software cost effort estimation is the most demanding process. The accuracy of the estimate in choosing the estimation model is an essential factor. Such conventional software effort estimation techniques fail to compute the accuracy of effort estimation and it is not up to the mark. So here, we tend to propose the cost reduction in the software projects by using the improved version of the known genetic algorithm.

Abstract Aims Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has high potential for analysing peat cores, but methodologies are deficient. We aimed for robust peat type classification and humification estimation. We also explored other factors affecting peat spectral properties. Methods We used two laboratory setups: VNIR (visible to near-infrared) and SWIR (shortwave infrared) for high resolution imaging of intact peat profiles with fen-bog transitions. Peat types were classified with support vector machines, indices were developed for von Post estimation, and K-means clustering was used to analyse stratigraphic patterns in peat quality. With separate experiments, we studied spectral effects of drying and oxidation. Results Despite major effects, oxidation and water content did not impede robust HSI classification. The accuracy between Carex peat and Sphagnum peat in validation was 80% with VNIR and 81% with SWIR data. The spectral humification indices had accuracies of 82% with VNIR and 56%. Stratigraphic HSI patterns revealed that 36% of peat layer shifts were inclined by over 20 degrees. Spectral indices were used to extrapolate visualisations of element concentrations. Conclusions HSI provided reliable information of basic peat quality and was useful in visual mapping, that can guide sampling for other analyses. HSI can manage large amounts of samples to widen the scope of detailed analysis beyond single profiles and it has wide potential in peat research beyond the exploratory scope of this paper. We were able to confirm the capacity of HSI to reveal shifts of peat quality, connected to ecosystem-scale change.

Diffusion coefficient of carbon dioxide (CO2), a significant parameter describing the mass transfer process, exerts a profound influence on the safety of CO2 storage in depleted reservoirs, saline aquifers, and marine ecosystems. However, experimental determination of diffusion coefficient in CO2-brine system is time-consuming and complex because the procedure requires sophisticated laboratory equipment and reasonable interpretation methods. To facilitate the acquisition of more accurate values, an intelligent model, termed MKSVM-GA, is developed using a hybrid technique of support vector machine (SVM), mixed kernels (MK), and genetic algorithm (GA). Confirmed by the statistical evaluation indicators, our proposed model exhibits excellent performance with high accuracy and strong robustness in a wide range of temperatures (273–473.15 K), pressures (0.1–49.3 MPa), and viscosities (0.139–1.950 mPa·s). Our results show that the proposed model is more applicable than the artificial neural network (ANN) model at this sample size, which is superior to four commonly used traditional empirical correlations. The technique presented in this study can provide a fast and precise prediction of CO2 diffusivity in brine at reservoir conditions for the engineering design and the technical risk assessment during the process of CO2 injection.

Gray Correlation

A two-stage neural network architecture constructed by combining potential support vector machines (P-SVM) with genetic algorithm (GA) and gray correlation coefficient analysis (GCCA) is proposed for patent innovation factors evolution. The enterprises patent innovation is complex to conduct due to its nonlinearity of influenced factors. It is necessary to make a trade off among these factors when some of them conflict firstly. A novel way about nonlinear regression model with the potential support vector machines (P-SVM) is presented in this paper. In the model development, the genetic algorithm is employed to optimize P-SVM parameters selection. After the selected key factors by the PSVM with GA model, the main factors that affect patent innovation generation have been quantitatively studied using the method of gray correlation coefficient analysis. Using a set of real data in China, the results show that the methods developed in this paper can provide valuable information for patent innovation management and related municipal planning projects.
