Artificial Neural Network Simulation

This chapter discusses necessity to formulate Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Simulation of the concerned field data. Multilayer feed forward topology is decided for the network. MATLAB software is used for training the network for response variables and to calculate percentage of error to plot prediction for the network for concerned variables. Comparison graphs of experimental data, mathematical model-based results and ANN responses for each of the dependent variables, such as time of operation, productivity, and human energy consumption are discussed. These graphs proved to be successful in terms of agreement with actual values of field study observations, mathematical results, and neural output
