Time series often exhibit periodical patterns that can be analysed by conventional statistical techniques. These techniques rely upon an appropriate choice of model parameters that are often difficult to determine. Whilst neural networks also require an appropriate parameter configuration, they offer a way in which non-linear patterns may be modelled. However, evidence from a limited number of experiments has been used to argue that periodical patterns cannot be modelled using such networks. In this paper, we present a method to overcome the perceived limitations of this approach by determining the configuration parameters of a time delayed neural network from the seasonal data it is being used to model. Our method uses a fast Fourier transform to calculate the number of input tapped delays, with results demonstrating improved performance as compared to that of other linear and hybrid seasonal modelling techniques.

Modelling the evolution of demand forecasts in a production-distribution system Yücer, Cem Tahsin; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) In this thesis, we focus on a forecasting tool, Martingale Model of Forecast Evolution (MMFE), to model the evolution of forecasts in a production-distribution system. Additive form is performed to represent the evolution process. Variance-Covariance (VCV) matrix is defined to express the forecast updates. The selected demand pattern is stationary and it is normally distributed. It follows an Autoregressive Order-1 (AR(1)) model. Two forecasting procedures are selected to compare the MMFE with. These are MA...
Parameter optimization of chemically activated mortaars containing high volumes of pozzolan by statistical design and analysis of experiments Aldemir, Başak; Saatçioğlu, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2006) This thesis illustrates parameter optimization of early and late compressive strengths of chemically activated mortars containing high volumes of pozzolan by statistical design and analysis of experiments. Four dominant parameters in chemical activation of natural pozzolans are chosen for the research, which are natural pozzolan replacement, amount of pozzolan passing 45 æm sieve, activator dosage and activator type. Response surface methodology has been employed in statistical design and analysis of experi...
A new contribution to nonlinear robust regression and classification with mars and its applications to data mining for quality control in manufacturing Yerlikaya, Fatma; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Scientific Computing (2008) Multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) denotes a modern methodology from statistical learning which is very important in both classification and regression, with an increasing number of applications in many areas of science, economy and technology. MARS is very useful for high dimensional problems and shows a great promise for fitting nonlinear multivariate functions. MARS technique does not impose any particular class of relationship between the predictor variables and outcome variable of interest....
Computation of radar cross sections of complex targets by shooting and bouncing ray method Özgün, Salim; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this study, a MATLAB® code based on the Shooting and Bouncing Ray (SBR) algorithm is developed to compute the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of complex targets. SBR is based on ray tracing and combine Geometric Optics (GO) and Physical Optics (PO) approaches to compute the RCS of arbitrary scatterers. The presented algorithm is examined in two parts; the first part addresses a new aperture selection strategy named as “conformal aperture”, which is proposed and formulated to increase the performance of the cod...
Low-Level Hierarchical Multiscale Segmentation Statistics of Natural Images Akbaş, Emre (2014-09-01) This paper is aimed at obtaining the statistics as a probabilistic model pertaining to the geometric, topological and photometric structure of natural images. The image structure is represented by its segmentation graph derived from the low-level hierarchical multiscale image segmentation. We first estimate the statistics of a number of segmentation graph properties from a large number of images. Our estimates confirm some findings reported in the past work, as well as provide some new ones. We then obtain ...
