This paper proposes a methodology to create an interpretable fuzzy model for monthly rainfall time series prediction. The proposed methodology incorporates the advantages of artificial neural network, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm. In the first step, the differences between the time series data are calculated and they are used to define the interval between the membership functions of a Mamdani-type...
In orthodontics, retraction springs made of metallic wires are often used to move a tooth with respect to another by the virtue of the spring back effect. Specially selected form of spring may result in accurate force and moment required to move the tooth towards direction that suits a particular patient. In current practice, the geometry remains to be selected manually by orthodontists and no substantial...
Recent studies have shown that clearing schemes are efficient multi-modal optimization methods. They efficiently reduce genetic drift which is the direct reason for premature convergence in genetic algorithms. However, clearing schemes assumed a landscape containing equal-spaced basins when using a fixed niche radius. Further, most clearing methods employ policies that favor elitists, thus affecting...
