Noninvasive estimation of PaCO2 from volumetric capnography in animals with injured lungs: an Artificial Intelligence approach.

To investigate the feasibility of non-invasively estimating the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) using a computational Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model fed by noninvasive volumetric capnography (VCap) parameters. In 14 lung-lavaged pigs, we continuously measured PaCO2 with an optical intravascular catheter and VCap on a breath-by-breath basis. Animals were mechanically ventilated with fixed settings and subjected to 0 to 22 cmH2O of positive end-expiratory pressure steps. The resultant 8599 pairs of data points - one PaCO2 value matched with twelve Vcap and ventilatory parameters derived in one breath - fed the ANFIS model. The data was separated into 7370 data points for training the model (85%) and 1229 for testing (15%). The ANFIS analysis was repeated 10 independent times, randomly mixing the total data points. Bland-Altman plot (accuracy and precision), root mean square error (quality of prediction) and four-quadrant and polar plots concordance indexes (trending ability) between reference and estimated PaCO2 were analyzed. The Bland-Altman plot performed in 10 independent tested ANFIS models showed a mean bias between reference and estimated PaCO2 of 0.03 ± 0.03 mmHg, with limits of agreement of 2.25 ± 0.42 mmHg, and a root mean square error of 1.15 ± 0.06 mmHg. A good trending ability was confirmed by four quadrant and polar plots concordance indexes of 95.5% and 94.3%, respectively. In an animal lung injury model, the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System model fed by noninvasive volumetric capnography parameters can estimate PaCO2 with high accuracy, acceptable precision, and good trending ability.

A hybrid of RSM, ANFIS, and machine learning algorithm approach for ultrasound-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds from Semecarpus anacardium Linn

ABSTRACT Ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction (UASE) was appslied to extract phytoconstituents from Semecarpus anacardium L. The effective extraction parameters were optimized using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Composite Face Centered design (CCFC), and the optimization parameters were validated through Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithm models. The four independent parameters, i.e. ethanol concentration (X 1: 62–72% v/v), temperature (X 2: 38–48°C), ultrasonic-exposure time (X 3: 12–24 min), and particle size (X 4: 2–5 mm) were optimized. The maximum yield of phytocompounds was achieved at X 1 = 67%, X 2 = 43°C, X 3 = 18 min, and X 4 = 3.5 mm. The optimized yield of total phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant activity was considered when selecting process parameters. In this scenario, the optimized yields of total polyphenolic content (y1 = 619.25 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g), total flavonoid content (y2 = 151.24 mg Quercetin equivalents (QE)/g), free radical scavenging abilities (%DPPH*sc (y3 = 66.41%), and %ABTS*sc (y4 = 56.94%). The LC-MS peaks identify the presence of semecarpetin, butein, and amentoflavone, whereas GS-MS peaks represent seventeen gaseous components. Furthermore, the bioactive-rich optimized extract was nontoxic and supported the growth of macrophage- and epithelial cells in vitro. Conclusively, optimizing the UASE parameters enhanced the yield of bioactive compounds of S. anacardium L.

A method for temperature sensor and model selection for machine tool thermal error modelling using ANFIS and ANN

AbstractThermal errors account for a significant part of the dimensional errors of components produced by precision machine tools. These errors are commonly compensated using predictions from temperature-based empirical models. The accuracy and robustness of these predictions are affected by the locations of temperature sensors used to obtain the model’s input data. Methods for sensor selection found in literature are often difficult to replicate and automate because they require tuning of several hyperparameters. This work presents a sensor and model selection approach that uses proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and QR pivoting to select a subset of sensors that have been preinstalled in the machine tool as possible model inputs. These sensors are then sorted according to their correlation with the thermal error being modelled. The final set of inputs and thermal error model structure is chosen using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) to limit model overfitting. The approach was tested by modelling the Y-axis thermal error measured from air-cutting experiments performed under different spindle speeds and feed rates. This enabled determination of the structure and the choice inputs for Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) thermal error models. The accuracy of these models was compared to that of models trained using inputs selected by conventional approaches: the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM), and principal component regression (PCR). The presented approach had better or comparable results to the conventional approaches while using fewer inputs. The presented approach is also well suited for automation compared to conventional approaches that require expert input.

Application of artificial intelligence and red-tailed hawk optimization for boosting biohydrogen production from microalgae

Enhancing biohydrogen production from microalgae is crucial in addressing environmental and energy challenges. It provides a sustainable, clean energy source while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, it advances microalgae-based biotechnology, enabling innovative biofuel production and ecological revitalization. The main target of this study is to develop a robust ANFIS model to simulate the biohydrogen production process from microalgae within photobioreactors. The study focuses on enhancing hydrogen yield by optimizing three critical process parameters: sulfur concentration (%), run time (hours), and wet biomass concentration (g/L). Initially, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model for biohydrogen production process is constructed based on empirical data. Subsequently, the red-tailed hawk algorithm (RTH) is used to determine the optimal values for the process parameters, corresponding to maximum hydrogen yield. The performance of ANFIS model in predicting hydrogen yield is assessed using root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient-of-determination (R2) values. The obtained RMSE values for training and testing data are 2.8477 × 10−05 and 1.2807, respectively, while the corresponding R2 values are 1.0 and 0.9911 for training and testing. The introduction of fuzzy logic into the model significantly improves its predictive accuracy, as evidenced by the drop in RMSE from 10.79 with ANOVA to 0.7159 with ANFIS, representing a substantial 93.4 % decrease. The remarkable precision of the ANFIS model, indicated by its low RMSE and high R2 values, underscores the success of the modeling stage. The combination between ANFIS with the RTH technique yields impressive results, leading to a hydrogen yield enhancement of 6.87 % and 26.65 % when compared to both measured data and ANOVA.

Optimizing the energy values of solid biofuel through acidic pre-treatment: An evolutionary-based neuro-fuzzy modelling and feature importance analysis

The increasing focus on sustainable energy solutions and eco-friendly fuel alternatives has sparked interest in exploring methods to enhance the energy content of solid biofuels through pre-treatment processes. This study investigates the impact of acidic (H2SO4) pretreatment on the energy content of solid biofuel derived from watermelon peel waste using machine learning methods. The biofuel properties, and calorific value (CV) were determined experimentally for both H2SO4-treated and untreated biofuel samples. Subsequently, an Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model with Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Grid Partitioning (GP) clustering techniques was developed to predict heating value of the biofuel, with performance evaluation based on root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean absolute deviation (MAD), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and R2-values. The decision tree regressor was employed to evaluate the feature importance, predictive power and impact of each input variable on CV prediction based on Gini importance metrics. To establish its superior performance, the hybrid ANFIS-GA-GP model was compared with ordinary-ANFIS and ANN model using same metrics. Results show that acid-pretreatment increased the CV of the solid biofuel by 3.53 MJ/kg (31.83 % improvement) and reduced ash content by 1.77 %. FTIR analysis revealed surface modifications, and a shift in the C-O vibrational stretch, while SEM micrographs displayed denser surfaces and reduced porosity as indicated by a lesser fiber diameter in treated samples. The GP-clustered ANFIS-GA model with a triangular membership function (tri-MF) exhibited superior performance and higher accuracy (RMSE of 0.1309, MAPE of 9.343, MAD of 0.1036, MAE of 0.1110, and R2-value of 0.9773 at model training). Furthermore, a tree decision regressor identified Fixed carbon as the most significant predictor for CV with a Gini importance of 0.988375. This study demonstrates the substantial enhancement in the energy content of biofuel using acidic pre-treatment and insights into a cutting-edge approach of improving the combustion properties of solid biofuel with machine learning models. This significantly contributes to the field of sustainable bioenergy research.

Artificial Neural Network and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System Hybridized Models in the Sustainable Integration of Language and Mathematics Skills: The Case of Singapore and Hong Kong

The four basic language skills, listening, speaking, reading, and writing play, a crucial role in the development of an individual’s skills in other disciplines. The current study aims to underpin the relationship between language skills and mathematics skills by focusing on the language and mathematics curricula of two consistently high-achieving countries, Hong Kong and Singapore, in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) rankings. In the current study, the convergent parallel mixed method was utilized that qualitative and quantitative data were composed together. Primarily, the outcomes of four language skills were determined in the native language teaching curricula of the two countries. The topics and themes related to four basic language skills were determined from the two mathematics curricula. The curricula were examined by document analysis from qualitative research methods. The analysis was conducted by examining the native language teaching and the mathematics curricula of both countries by the content analysis method. Later, the findings of the document analysis were used to develop machine learning models to find a possible positive relationship between language skills and the PISA scores. Although a number of previous studies have found a reasonable relationship between language skills and mathematics skills, the current study results were contradictory to the ones performed previously in the literature, and considering the curricula no positive relationship between the language and mathematics skills was found. The findings of the current study were further supported by the artificial neural network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model performance metrics. Compared to an acceptable level of 0.80, significantly low R2 values of 0.35 and 0.39 for the ANN and ANFIS models, respectively, indicated very little relationship between the language and mathematics skills.

Flood events in the Sefidrud River basin have historically caused significant damage to infrastructure, agriculture, and human settlements, highlighting the urgent need for improved flood prediction capabilities. Traditional hydrological models have shown limitations in capturing the complex, non-linear relationships inherent in flood dynamics. This study addresses these challenges by leveraging advanced machine learning techniques to develop more accurate and reliable flood estimation models for the region. The study applied Random Forest (RF), Bagging, SMOreg, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models using historical hydrological data spanning 50 years. The methods involved splitting the data into training (50–70 %) and validation sets, processed using WEKA 3.9 software. The evaluation revealed that the nonlinear ensemble RF model achieved the highest accuracy with a correlation of 0.868 and an root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.104. Both RF and MLP significantly outperformed the linear SMOreg approach, demonstrating the suitability of modern machine learning techniques. Additionally, the ANFIS model achieved an exceptional R-squared accuracy of 0.99. The findings underscore the potential of data-driven models for accurate flood estimating, providing a valuable benchmark for algorithm selection in flood risk management.

Computational and intelligence modeling analysis of pharmaceutical freeze drying for prediction of temperature in the process

Accurate temperature prediction is crucial for various scientific and engineering applications, yet it remains challenging due to the complex relationships between spatial coordinates and temperature variations. This study addresses this challenge by exploring advanced machine learning models to improve prediction accuracy, filling the research gap in optimizing predictive models for temperature estimation in freeze drying of pharmaceuticals. We employed Support Vector Regression (SVR), Poisson Regression (POR), and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models, each enhanced using the Cheetah Optimizer (CO), to estimate temperature based on spatial coordinates (X, Y, Z) in the domain of process. The methodology involved training and testing these models on a dataset comprising spatial and temperature data, with a focus on improving accuracy through optimization techniques. Validation of the models showed that the CO-SVR model outperformed the others, achieving an R2 score of 0.953, Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 9.893, and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 2.549. This represents a significant improvement over the CO-ANFIS model, which obtained an R2 of 0.863, MSE of 23.583, and MAE of 3.912. The CO-POR model showed the lowest predictive capability, with an R2 score of 0.753, MSE of 57.608, and MAE of 6.756. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the Cheetah Optimizer in enhancing the accuracy of SVR models for temperature prediction, suggesting its potential for broader applications in predictive modeling where accuracy is paramount.

AbstractThe study focuses on optimizing biomethane yield in the anaerobic digestion of alkali-pretreated groundnut shells, involving varied input parameters. Biomethane optimization will improve the economy of the technology, which will assist in managing the environmental challenges of fossil fuel combustion. Traditional methods prove challenging, inaccurate, and uneconomical, necessitating efficient optimization models. This research hybridizes particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithms (GA) with adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models, assessing input parameters’ influence on biomethane yield through renowned performance metrics.

A novel modeling approach on the water–electricity–climate nexus in the context of resource sustainability

Water and energy have become essential resources and must be wisely managed for a sustainable future. This paper explores the relationship between water consumption and electricity generation in hydropower plants with dams under different climate change scenarios to contribute to the policy perspectives with a new tool and method to sustain the future. Still, as a reliable forecasting tool, the evaluation of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system model has not been tested for forecasting water consumption during electricity generation. Thus, this study uses this modeling approach to generate reliable water consumption estimates based on electricity generation. The operational data of 78 hydroelectric power plants with dams and meteorological parameters were used as input variables, while water consumption was the output parameter in the model. The dataset was randomly divided into training and testing sets, and 85–15% data splitting presented the best-fitted model. The lowest mean average percent error of the hydroelectric power plants' model resulted in 9.59%, and the coefficient of determination of the model was 0.97, which showed that the developed model presented acceptable prediction performance. Various climate change scenarios are applied to analyze the effects of climate parameters on the water consumption of hydropower plants. The annual hydroelectric power plant water consumption and water intensity were estimated between 2,609 million m3 and 4,393 million m3, and 50,768 m3/GWh and 85,487 m3/GWh, respectively, based on climate change scenarios. The study concludes with significant policy suggestions to endorse this approach.Graphical abstract

Seismic Damage Prediction and Classification tool: Utilizing Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Geographic Information System (GIS)

Seismic damage prediction of wide range of buildings is an important prioritization and classification tool for implementation of seismic risk and vulnerability assessment. This study has developed a rapid visual screening (RVS) tool using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model and Geographic Information System (GIS). Hospital an d public-school buildings located in districts 5 and 6 have been selected for assessment. Technical calculation basis in the development of FEMA P- 154 was followed in formulating the model using the neuro-fuzzy tool package in MATLAB. Six (6) building para meters and their resulting output (final score) were inputted for training. Sub-clustering FIS model showed the lowest RMSE and R2 result out of the five (5) FIS models compared. The model showed effective performance in classifying the buildings’ damage grades having 0.2908, 0.8073 and 0.948 for RMSE, and for testing and overall coefficient of determination (R2) values, respectively. Performance me trics from the developed confusion matrix showed high range of values for sensitivity, specificity, precision, and accuracy, with maximum error rate and false positive rate of 0.11 and 0.25, respectively, in classifying the buildings’ damage grade. These validate the model’s performance and ability in classifying the damage grade of the buildings observed. The results were used to develop a digital mapping of the damage grade distribution of the selected buildings in the area using ArcGIS.

Performance Evaluation of Benzyl Alcohol Oxidation with tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide to Benzaldehyde Using the Response Surface Methodology, Artificial Neural Network, and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Model.

The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), central composite experimental design (CCD)-response surface methodology (RSM), and artificial neural network (ANN) are used to model the oxidation of benzyl alcohol using the tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) oxidant to selectively yield benzaldehyde over a mesoporous ceria-zirconia catalyst. Characterization reveals that the produced catalyst has hysteresis loops, a sponge-like structure, and structurally induced reactivity. Three independent variables were taken into consideration while analyzing the ANN, RSM, and ANFIS models: the amount of catalyst (A), reaction temperature (B), and reaction time (C). With the application of optimum conditions, along with a constant (45 mmol) TBHP oxidant amount, (30 mmol) benzyl alcohol amount, and rigorous refluxing of 450 rpm, a maximum optimal benzaldehyde yield of 98.4% was obtained. To examine the acceptability of the models, further sensitivity studies including statistical error functions, analysis of variance (ANOVA) results, and the lack-of-fit test, among others, were employed. The obtained results show that the ANFIS model is the most suited to predicting benzaldehyde yield, followed by RSM. Green chemistry matrix calculations for the reaction reveal lower values of the E-factor (1.57), mass intensity (MI, 2.57), and mass productivity (MP, 38%), which are highly desirable for green and sustainable reactions. Therefore, utilizing a ceria-zirconia catalyst synthesized via the inverse micelle method for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol provides a green and sustainable methodology for the synthesis of benzaldehyde under mild conditions.

Method for Predicting Internal Defect Areas of Timber Components Based on an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System

ABSTRACT Internal defects in the timber components of ancient architecture can reduce their effective cross-sectional areas, deteriorate their mechanical performance, and increase the risk of structural failure. To accurately and rapidly determine the extent of internal damage in components of ancient architecture, this study performed damage detection tests on Larix gmelinii (Larch) column specimens using stress wave nondestructive testing technology. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model was developed using the cross-sectional wave velocity ratio after investigating the laws of defect identification through stress-wave testing. Stress-wave detection could identify the relative positional correlation of defect areas. However, the accuracy of the defect area detection was inconsistent (8%–98%). The accuracy of the ANFIS model exhibits a diminishing trend as both parameters rejection rate and influence range increase. However, the ANFIS outperformed the stress-wave detection technique and linear regression model with correlation coefficient and prediction accuracy of 0.99 and 88%, respectively. The root mean square error for the ANFIS was reduced by 79% and 70% compared to the stress wave detection method and linear regression model, respectively. Thus, the ANFIS model can precisely forecast areas of internal damage in timber components of historical edifices and can be used to evaluate the safety of ancient timber buildings.

A hybrid model of artificial intelligence integrated into GIS for predicting accidents in water supply networks

The search for an effective and reliable model for predicting accidents on water supply networks by determining their exact locations has always been important for effectively managing water distribution systems. This study, based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy logical inference system (ANFIS) model, was developed to predict accidents in the city of Kyiv (Ukraine) water supply network. The ANFIS model was combined with genetic algorithms and swarm optimization (ACO) methods and integrated into a GIS to visualize results and determine locations. Forecasts were evaluated according to the following criteria: mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). Depending on the amount and type of input data, ANFIS optimization with genetic algorithms and swarm optimization (ACO) can, on average, increase the accuracy of ANFIS predictions by 10.1% to 11%. The obtained results indicate that the developed hybrid model may be successfully applied to predict accidents on water supply networks.

A neuro-fuzzy security risk assessment system for software development life cycle

This study aims to protect software development by creating a Software Risk Assessment (SRA) model for each phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model. Software developers discovered and validated the risk variables affecting each SDLC phase, following which relevant data about risk factors and associated SRA for each SDLC phase were collected. To create the SRA model for SDLC phases, risk factors were used as inputs, and SRA was used as an output. The formulated model was simulated using 70 % and 80 % of the data for training, while 30 % and 20 % were used for testing the model. The performance of the SRA models using the test datasets was evaluated based on accuracy. According to the study findings, many risk variables were discovered and confirmed for the requirement, design, implementation, integration, and operation phases of SDLC 11, 8, 9, 4, and 6, respectively. The SRA model was formulated using the risk factors using 2048, 256, 512, 16, and 64 inference rules for the requirement, design, implementation, integration, and operation phases, respectively. The study concluded that using the SRA model to assess security risk at each SDLC phase provided a secured software development process.

The Taylor diagram and violin plots with box plots further corroborated the comparative analysis, highlighting the DBN model’s superior ability to closely match the observed standard deviation and correlation and its consistent and low-variance predictions. The ANFIS-SO method also exhibited enhanced performance in these visual representations, with an RMSE of 0.86, compared to 0.95 for the standard ANFIS. The insights gained from this study can inform the selection of the most appropriate modeling technique, whether it be the high-precision DBN, the flexible ANFIS, or the optimized ANFIS-SO approach, based on the specific requirements and constraints of the application.

Investigating the effects of surface water recharge on groundwater quality using hydrochemistry and ANFIS model: A case study Minia Governorate, Egypt

Monitoring and assessing groundwater quality and quantity lays the basis for sustainable management. Therefore, this research aims to investigate various factors that affect groundwater quality, emphasizing its distance to the primary source of recharge, the Nile River. To this end, two separate study areas have been considered, including the West and West-West of Minia, Egypt, located around 30 and 80 km from the Nile River. The chosen areas rely on the same aquifer as groundwater source (Eocene aquifer). Groundwater quality has been assessed in the two studied regions to investigate the difference in quality parameters due to the river's distance. The power of machine learning to associate different variables and generate beneficial relationships has been utilized to mitigate the cost consumed in chemical analysis and alleviate the calculation complexity. Two adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) models were developed to predict the water quality index (WQI) and the irrigation water quality index (IWQI) using EC and the distance to the river. The findings of the assessment of groundwater quality revealed that the groundwater in the west of Minia exhibits suitability for agricultural utilization and partially meets the criteria for potable drinking water. Conversely, the findings strongly recommend the implementation of treatment processes for groundwater sourced from the West-West of Minia before its usage for various purposes. These outcomes underscore the significant influence of surface water recharge on the overall quality of groundwater. Also, the results revealed the uncertainty of using sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), Sodium Percentage (Na%), and Permeability Index (PI) techniques in assessing groundwater for irrigation and recommended using IWQI. The developed ANFIS models depicted perfect accuracy during the training and validation stages, reporting a coefficient of correlation (R) equal to 0.97 and 0.99 in the case of WQI and 0.96 and 0.98 in the case of IWQI. The research findings could incentivize decision-makers to monitor, manage, and sustain groundwater.

Feasibility of integrated numerical and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System models in predicting the thermophysical properties of unsteady coupled micropolar–Casson hybrid nanofluids

This article aims to probe postulated phenomena using a paired micropolar and Casson hybrid fluid over a rotating disk. The intension to design a numerical technique (Runge–Kutta fourth-order along with shooting technique) integrated Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) envisioned with a thermal and exponentially space-dependent heat source, nonlinear thermal radiation and entropy production is developed in this phase of work. To ensure that, a nonlinear partial differential equation set of equations has been transformed into an ordinary differential equation by using the proper self-similarity variables. The model's research results, with a few notable outliers, are mostly consistent with those from prior research that was merged into the dataset used to train the ANFIS model. With the impact of active factors, the results are esthetically exhibited for numerous profiles. This displays that with the rise in magnetic field and radiation, the velocity and temperature profiles increase sharply, resulting in a contradiction phenomenon with the decreasing electric field inputs. Also, tilting of vortex viscosity, spin gradient viscosity and microinertia density on the various microrotation components displays inclination. Moreover, ANFIS training was exploited to analyze the approximate solutions for specific scenarios, and the developed ANFIS was evaluated against a testing dataset to emphasize its performance. Due to their longer render, the nanoparticles exploited here are deemed suitable for use in bone implants, iodinated agents for blood imaging and red blood cell stimulation. Thus, the results of this study may be applied to therapeutic anemia therapies.

Investigating the influence of clustering techniques and parameters on a hybrid PSO-driven ANFIS model for electricity prediction

The availability of reliable electrical power, which is essential for a comfortable lifestyle worldwide, requires realistic power usage projections for electric utilities and policymakers, leading to the adoption of machine learning-based modelling tools due to the limitations of traditional power usage projection approaches. However, successful modeling of power usage in neuro-fuzzy models depends on the optimal selection of hyper-parameters. Consequently, this research looked at the major impact clustering methods and hyper-parameter modifications on a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model. The study examined two distinct clustering methods and other key hyperparameters such as the number of clusters and cluster radius, resulting in a total of 10 sub-models. The performance of the developed models was assessed using four widely recognized performance indicators: root mean square error, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean absolute error (MAE), and coefficient of variation of the root mean square error (CVRMSE). Additionally, the robustness of the optimal sub-model was evaluated by comparing it with other hybrid models based on three different PSO variants. The results revealed that the combination of the ANFIS approach and PSO, specifically with two clusters, yielded the most accurate forecasting scheme with the optimal values for MAPE (7.7778%), MAE (712.6094), CVRMSE (9.5464), and RMSE (909.4998).
