    Modelling Trip Distribution With Fuzzy and Genetic Fuzzy Systems
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2013) Kompil, Mert; Çelik, Hüseyin Murat
    This paper explores the potential capabilities of fuzzy and genetic fuzzy system approaches in urban trip distribution modelling with some new features. First, a simple fuzzy rule-based system (FRBS) and a novel genetic fuzzy rule-based system [GFRBS: a fuzzy system improved by a knowledge base learning process with genetic algorithms (GAs)] are designed to model intra-city passenger flows for Istanbul. Subsequently, their accuracy, applicability and generalizability characteristics are evaluated against the well-known gravity- and neural network (NN)-based trip distribution models. The overall results show that: traditional doubly constrained gravity models are still simple and efficient; NNs may not show expected performance when they are forced to satisfy trip constraints; simply-designed FRBSs, learning from observations and expertise, are both efficient and interpretable even if the data are large and noisy; and use of GAs in fuzzy rule-based learning considerably increases modelling performance, although it brings additional computation cost.

    Prediction of Lignin and Extractive Content of Pinus Nigra Arnold. Var. Pallasiana Tree Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Multivariate Calibration
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2009) Üner, Birol; Karaman, İbrahim; Tanrıverdi, H.; Özdemir, Durmuş
    Determination of quality parameters such as lignin and extractive content of wood samples by wet chemistry analyses takes a long time. Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy coupled with multivariate calibration offers a fast and nondestructive alternative to obtain reliable results. However, due to the complexity of the spectra obtained from NIR, some wavelength selection is generally required to improve the predictive ability of multivariate calibration methods. Pinus nigra Arnold. Var. pallasiana is the second most growing pine species in Turkey. Even though its rotation period is very high, around 120 years, the forest products industry has widely accepted the use of Pinus nigra because of its ability to grow on a wide range of sites and its suitability to produce desirable products. In this study, 51 samples of Pinus nigra trees were collected and their lignin and extractive content were determined with standard reference (TAPPI) methods. Then, the same samples were scanned with near infrared spectrometer between 1000 and 2500 nm in diffuse reflectance mode. Multivariate calibration models were built with genetic inverse least squares method for both lignin and extractive content using the concentration information obtained from wet standard reference method. Overall, standard error of calibration (SEC) and standard error of prediction (SEP) were ranged between 0.35% (w/w) and 2.4% (w/w).

    Near Infrared Spectroscopic Determination of Diesel Fuel Parameters Using Genetic Multivariate Calibration
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2008) Özdemir, Durmuş
    The use of full spectral region from near infrared spectroscopic analysis does not always end up with a good multivariate calibration model as many of the wavelengths do not contain necessary information. Due to the complexity of the spectra, some of the wavelengths or regions may, in fact, disturb the model-building step. Genetic algorithms are one of the useful tools for solving wavelength selection problems and may improve the predictive ability of conventional multivariate calibration methods. This study demonstrates application of genetic algorithm-based multivariate calibration to near infrared spectroscopic determination of several diesel fuel parameters. The parameters studied are cetane number, boiling and freezing point, total aromatic content, viscosity, and density. Multivariate calibration models were generated using genetic inverse least squares (GILS) method and used to predict the diesel fuel parameters based on their near infrared spectra. For each property, a different data set was used and in all cases the number of samples was around 250. Overall, percent standard error of prediction (%SEP) values ranged between 2.48 and 4.84% for boiling point, total aromatics, viscosity, and density. However, %SEP results for cetane number and freezing point were 11.00% and 14.86%, respectively.

    Determination of Octane Number of Gasoline Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Genetic Multivariate Calibration Methods
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2005) Özdemir, Durmuş
    The feasibility of rating the octane number of gasoline using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and three different genetic algorithm-based multivariate calibration methods was demonstrated. The three genetic multivariate calibration methods are genetic regression (GR), genetic classical least squares (GCLS), and genetic inverse least squares (GILS). The sample data set was obtained from the ftp address (ftp://ftp.clarkson.edu/pub/hopkepk/Chemdata/) with the permission of Professor. J. H. Kalivas. This data set contains the NIR spectra of 60 gasoline samples collected using diffuse reflectance as log (I / R) with known octane numbers and covers the range from 900 to 1700 nm in 2 nm intervals. Of these 60 spectra, 20 were used as the calibration set, 20 were used as the prediction set, and 20 were reserved for the validation purposes. Several calibration models were built with the three genetic algorithm-based methods, and the results were compared with the partial least squares (PLS) prediction errors reported in the literature. Overall, the standard error of calibration (SEC), standard error of prediction (SEP), and standard error of validation (SEV) values were in the range of 0.15-0.32 (in the units of motor octane number) for the GR and GILS, which are comparable with the literature. However, GCLS produced relatively large results (0.36 for SEC, 0.39 for SEP and 0.52 for SEV) when compared with the other two methods.

    Genetic Algorithm-Artificial Neural Network Model for the Prediction of Germanium Recovery From Zinc Plant Residues
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2002) Akkurt, Sedat; Özdemir, Serhan; Tayfur, Gökmen
    A multi-layer, feed-forward, back-propagation learning algorithm was used as an artificial neural network (ANN) tool to predict the extraction of germanium from zinc plant residues by sulphuric acid leaching. A genetic algorithm (GA) was used for the selection of training and testing data and a GA-ANN model of the germanium leaching system was created on the basis of the training data. Testing of the model yielded good error levels (r2 = 0.95). The model was employed to predict the response of the system to different values of the factors that affect the recovery of germanium and the results facilitate selection of the experimental conditions in which the optimum recovery will be achieved.
