“…In the structure of the artificial neural network, three layers were used, since, three layers (includes input, hidden, and output layer) are suitable for the separation of any type of space, and there is never need to use more layers (Manhaj, ). The classification performances were measured based on the values of the confusion matrix, such as percentage of accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity area under the curve (AUC) as following formulas (Sokolova & Lapalme, ; Taheri‐Garavand et al, ): where N TP , N TN , N FP , and N FN are number of samples which are classified as true positive, true negative, false positive, and false negative, respectively. For ANN analysis, the data set was divided into 60, 20, and 20% for training, testing, and cross validation, respectively.…”
