An experimental study on the comparative analysis of the effect of the number of data on the error rates of artificial neural networks

Abstract

In this study, the effect of the amount of data used in the design of artificial neural networks (ANNs) on the predictive accuracy of ANNs was investigated. Five different ANNs were designed using the experimentally measured specific heat data of the Al 2 O 3 /water nanofluid prepared at volumetric concentrations of 0.0125, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 using the Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle. The developed ANN is a multi-layer perceptron, feedforward and backpropagation model. In each ANN with 15 neurons in the hidden layer, the volumetric concentration (φ) and temperature (T) values were nominated as input layer factors and the specific heat value was estimated as the output value. With the aim of survey the effect of the amount of data on the predicted results of the ANN, a different amount of datasets were used in each developed ANN. In this context, in total 260 data were used in the Model 1 ANN. Subsequently, the total amount of data was reduced by 20% in each developed neural network and 55 data were used in the ANN named Model#5. The results obtained show that ANNs are highly talented of predicting the specific heat values of Al 2 O 3 /water nanofluid. However, in the comparisons, it was evaluated that the amount of data used had a share on the prediction performance of the ANN and that the decrease in the amount of data with the prediction performance of the ANN decreased.

Estimation of unsteady hydromagnetic Williamson fluid flow in a radiative surface through numerical and artificial neural network modeling

“…Optimizing the data to be used in training of ANN is one of the important parameters affecting the prediction accuracy of ANN. For this reason, the data used in ANN models should be grouped and optimized ideally 47 . In this study, two different ANN models have been designed in order to predict SFC and NN.…”

Experimental study for artificial neural network (ANN) based prediction of electric energy production of diesel engine based cogeneration power plant

“…In the developed ANN model, the sum of hidden layers and neurons are the most imperative factors that unswervingly affect the predictive performance [59]. The presence of a small number of hidden layers and neurons in an ANN causes the ANN to be incorrectly trained, and the accuracy of prediction is low.…”
