This study introduces a novel open-source Python software package called SRBF_Soft for the high-resolution regional gravity field determination using various spherical radial basis functions (SBRFs) in terms of point mass, Poisson, and Poisson wavelet kernel. The modeling approach considers residual gravity field functionals generated by the well-known remove-compute-restore (RCR) technique where the long and short wavelength parts of the gravity signal are provided by a global geopotential model (GGM) and digital terrain model (DTM), respectively. A new data-adaptive network design methodology called k-SRBF is used to construct a network of SRBFs. The appropriate bandwidths (depths) are chosen using the generalized cross-validation (GCV) technique. The unknown SRBFs coefficients are estimated by applying the least-squares method where the extended Gauss Markov Model (GMM) with additional prior information is applied if the normal equation matrix is ill-conditioned. In such a case, the optimal regularization parameter is determined by variance component estimation (VCE). By utilizing parallel processing in every stage of the RCR technique, including creating the design matrix, the computational time is remarkably decreased relative to the number of processors used in the modeling. The performance of the software has been tested and validated in the Auvergne test area (France) on the basis of real terrestrial gravity data. The differences between estimated and observed height anomaly points (GNSS/leveling) amount to about 3 cm in terms of standard deviation (STD) for all kernels indicating that the SRBF_Soft possesses the capability to be applied in regional gravity field modeling as an efficient and reliable software.

SLW model for computational fluid dynamics modeling of combustion systems: Implementation and validation Ozen, Guzide; Selçuk, Nevin (2016-01-01) Spectral Line-Based Weighted Sum of Gray Gases (SLW) model was implemented to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Solver, ANSYS FLUENT. Discrete Ordinate Method (DOM) available in ANSYS FLUENT was used as Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) Solver. ANSYS FLUENT with SLW was applied to the prediction of incident heat fluxes for three test problems; two containing isothermal homogenous/nonhomogenous water vapor and one isothermal water vapor/carbon dioxide mixture. Predictive accuracy of SLW in ANSYS FLUENT was ...
Loop-based conic multivariate adaptive regression splines is a novel method for advanced construction of complex biological networks Ayyıldız Demirci, Ezgi; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2018-11-01) The Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) and its Bayesian alternative, called, the Gaussian copula graphical model (GCGM) are two widely used approaches to construct the undirected networks of biological systems. They define the interactions between species by using the conditional dependencies of the multivariate normality assumption. However, when the system's dimension is high, the performance of the model becomes computationally demanding, and, particularly, the accuracy of GGM decreases when the observations...
GMDH: An R Package for Short Term Forecasting via GMDH-Type Neural Network Algorithms DAĞ, OSMAN; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan (2016-08-01) Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-type neural network algorithms are the heuristic self organization method for the modelling of complex systems.

MRF Based Image Segmentation Augmented with Domain Specific Information Karadag, Ozge Oztimur; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-09-13) A Markov Random Field based image segmentation system which combines top-down and bottom-up segmentation approaches is proposed in this study. The system is especially proposed for applications where no labeled training set is available, but some priori general information referred as domain specific information about the dataset is available. Domain specific information is received from a domain expert and formalized by a mathematical representation. The type of information and its representation depends o...
