Extreme learning machine (ELM) allows for fast learning and better generalization performance than conventional gradient-based learning. However, the possible inclusion of non-optimal weight and bias due to random selection and the need for more hidden neurons adversely influence network...

Wind power as a renewable source of energy has numerous economic, environmental, and social benefits. To enhance and control renewable wind power, it is vital to utilize models that predict wind speed with high accuracy. In the current study, for predicting wind speed at target stations in the...

Financial data sets are growing too fast and need to be analyzed. Data science has many different techniques to store and summarize, mining, running simulations and finally analyzing them. Among data science methods, predictive methods play a critical role in analyzing financial data sets. In...

With the advances in time-series prediction, several recent developments in machine learning have shown that integrating prediction methods into portfolio selection is a great opportunity. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to portfolio formation strategy based on a hybrid machine...
