A series of experiments aimed to generate and learn fuzzy models for the valuation of residential premises was conducted using the KEEL tool (knowledge extraction based on evolutionary learning). Four regression and four post-processing algorithms were applied to several data sets. They referred to sales/purchase transactions of residential premises, which were derived from the cadastral system and...
In this paper we propose a multi-objective genetic algorithm to generate Mamdani fuzzy rule-based systems with optimal trade-offs between complexity and accuracy. The main novelty of the algorithm is that both rule base and granularity of the uniform partitions defined on the input and output variables are learned concurrently. To this aim, we exploit a chromosome composed of two parts, which codify...
This paper presents a Brazilian case study of forecasting a wind speed time series with reservoir computing (RC). RC is a research area, in which an untrained recurrent network of nodes is used for the recognition of temporal patters. In RC only the weights of the connections in a linear output layer are trained. This reduces the complexity of recurrent neural networks (RNN) training to simple linear...
Logistic regression (LR) has become a widely used and accepted method to analyse binary or multiclass outcome variables, since it is a flexible tool that can predict the probability for the state of a dichotomous variable. A recently proposed LR method is based on the hybridisation of a linear model and evolutionary product-unit neural network (EPUNN) models for binary classification. This produces...
The paper proposes a methodology called OP-KNN, which builds a one hidden-layer feed forward neural network, using nearest neighbors neurons with extremely small computational time. The main strategy is to select the most relevant variables beforehand, then to build the model using KNN kernels. Multi-response sparse regression (MRSR) is used as the second step in order to rank each k-th nearest neighbor...
The types of activation functions most often used in artificial neural networks are logistic and hyperbolic tangent. Activation functions used in ANN have been said to play an important role in the convergence of the algorithms used. This paper uses sigmoid functions in the processing units of neural networks. Such functions are commonly applied in statistical regression models. The nonlinear functions...
