BP neural network with optimum hidden layer nodes were used to evaluate the power environmental issues in China. Furthermore, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method is used to optimise the number of hidden layer nodes of BP neural network. The evaluation...

For most of the locations all over Egypt the records of diffuse radiation in whatever scale are non-existent. In case that it exists, the quality of these records is not as good as it should be for most purposes and so an estimate of its values is desirable. To achieve such a task, an artificial...

Neural networks have been advocated as an alternative to traditional statistical forecasting methods. In the present experiment, time series forecasts produced by neural networks are compared with forecasts from six statistical time series methods generated in a major forecasting competition...
