In this paper, ARIMA(1,1,1) model and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models like Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP), Functional-link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN) and Legendre Polynomial Equation ( LPE) were used to predict the time series data. MLP, FLANN and LPE gave very accurate results for complex time series model. All the Artificial Neural Network model results matched closely with the ARIMA(1,1,1) model with minimum Absolute Average Percentage Error(AAPE). Comparing the different ANN models for time series analysis, it was found that FLANN gives better prediction results as compared to ARIMA model with less Absolute Average Percentage Error (AAPE) for the measured rainfall data

The present study demonstrates a novel computational approach for Indian Traditional Medicine (ITM) for the effective antidiabetic drug. Indian traditional practitioners are using many natural Herbals for the cure of diabetes. Though many diabetes patients are getting temporarily cured still its cause and effects are unknown due to lack of proper scientific investigation. Individual plant bioactivities have been already investigated by many researchers but the combined plant bioactivity effects have not been studied yet because it requires more number of experiments which is time consuming and expensive. Regular diabetic medicines available in the market still not based on the optimal plant bioactivity database and as a result of which the effectiveness of the medicine also reduced. To overcome the above drawback a novel computational approach was proposed for multiple antidiabetic plants in appropriate proportions for its optimization. Since the process is stochastic in nature Genetic Algorithm (GA) tool was selected for the design. The actual and predicted results have been compared in this study.
