In order to combine the grey forecasting model with neural network, an important theorem that the grey differential equation is equivalent to the time response model, was proved by analyzing the features of grey forecasting model(GM(1,1)). Based on this, the differential equation parameters were included in the network when the BP neural network was constructed, and the neural network was trained by extracting samples from grey system's known data. When BP network was converged, the whitened grey differential equation parameters were extracted and then the grey neural network forecasting model (GNNM(1,1)) was built. In order to reduce stochastic phenomenon in GNNM(1,1), the state transition probability between two states was defined and the Markov transition matrix was established by building the residual sequences between grey forecasting and actual value. Thus, the new grey forecasting model(MNNGM(1,1)) was proposed by combining Markov chain with GNNM(1,1). Based on the above discussion, three different approaches were put forward for forecasting China electricity demands. By comparing GM(1, 1) and GNNM(1,1) with the proposed model, the results indicate that the absolute mean error of MNNGM(1,1) is about 0.4 times of GNNM(1,1) and 0.2 times of GM(I, 1), and the mean square error of MNNGM(1,1) is about 0.25 times of GNNM(1,1) and 0.1 times of GM(1,1).展开更多

The accurate measurement or estimation of these two parameters, based on the secondary variables, is a critical issue. Data-driven modeling techniques, which entail comprehensive data analysis and implementation of machine learning methods for system forecast, provide an attractive alternative. In this paper, two types of artificial neural networks(ANNs),namely radial basis function neural network(RBFNN) and layer recurrent neural network(RNN), and also a multivariate nonlinear regression(MNLR) model were employed to predict metallurgical performance of the flotation column. The training capacity and the accuracy of these three above mentioned types of models were compared. In order to acquire data for the simulation, a case study was conducted at Sarcheshmeh copper complex pilot plant. Based on the root mean squared error and correlation coefficient values, at training and testing stages, the RNN forecasted the metallurgical performance of the flotation column better than RBF and MNLR models. The RNN could predict Cu grade and recovery with correlation coefficients of 0.92 and 0.9, respectively in testing process.展开更多

The porosity data that come from well log are only available at well points. It is necessary to use other method to estimate reservoir porosity.Seismic data contain abundant lithological information. Because there are inherent correlations between reservoir property and seismic data,it is possible to estimate reservoir porosity by using seismic data and attributes.Probabilistic neural network is a powerful tool to extract mathematical relation between two data sets. It has been used to extract the mathematical relation between porosity and seismic attributes. Firstly,a seismic impedance volume is calculated by seismic inversion. Secondly,several appropriate seismic attributes are extracted by using multi-regression analysis. Then a probabilistic neural network model is trained to obtain a mathematical relation between porosity and seismic attributes. Finally,this trained probabilistic neural network model is implemented to calculate a porosity data volume. This methodology could be utilized to find advantageous areas at the early stage of exploration. It is also helpful for the establishment of a reservoir model at the stage of reservoir development.展开更多

Neural network learns from scratch by adjusting the interconnections betweens layers. Genetic algorithms are a popular computing framework that uses principals from natural population genetics to evolve solutions to problems. Various forecasting methods have been developed on the basis of neural network, but accuracy has been matter of concern in these forecasts. In neural network methods forecasted values depend to the choose of neural predictor structure, the number of the input, the lag. To remedy to these problem, in this paper, the authors are investing the applicability of an automatic design of a neural predictor realized by real Genetic Algorithms to predict the future value of a time series. The prediction method is tested by using meteorology time series that are daily and weekly mean temperatures in Melbourne, Australia, 1980-1990.展开更多

This paper takes an analysis of a lot of actual data of a certain wind electricity field. Through wavelet neural network and time series method rolling, it can predict the overall power of wind electricity field. The result shows that for the original data of sampling time length and large sampling frequency, the model constructed by this paper has very good prediction effect. Because of the fan installation position, wind electricity fan flow effect and other random factor influence, wind electricity field overall power and single unit power distribution have difference. Through comparing with the time series parameters, it puts forward that single wind electricity unit power has smooth effect for overall power of wind electricity field. Finally, it summarizes the prediction effect and puts forward some reasonable suzestions for wind electricity network troblems.展开更多
