Evaluation of multivariate linear regression and artificial neural networks in prediction of water quality parameters

Abstract: This paper examined the efficiency of multivariate linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) models in prediction of two major water quality parameters in a wastewater treatment plant. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) as well as indirect indicators of organic matters are representative parameters for sewer water quality. Performance of the ANN models was evaluated using coefficient of correlation (r), root mean square error (RMSE) and bias values. The computed … Show more

“…The aggregates of the ANN results obtained at each of the CTP levels-95.5%, 99.3%, 99.9% and 100%-were found by calculating the averages of the built ANN models-ANN1, ANN2, ANN3 and ANN4 (Figure 4)-at the levels. After trying between 1000 and 5000 iterations of the ANN training networks, the best networks from each CTP level was used to compute the Hit Ratio (HR), Miss Ratio (MR), Mean Square Error (MSE) and the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) of the trained and validation datasets per Equations (5)- (7) [39].…”

“…The mechanism of the single factor evaluation method is that using the classification of the worst single index of water quality to determine the classification of the comprehensive water quality; the method is simple and clear, and can directly attain the relationship between water quality and evaluation criteria, but fails to get a comprehensive evaluation, furthermore, the accuracy of the evaluation results is poor. The principal component analysis (PCA) is an integrated model for water quality assessment and it can be used to establish comprehensive evaluation index and the effect is better, but it's difficult to get a better evaluation result if the participating index is too more to reduce the contribution rate of the principal component [9] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]. Because the water quality is affected by many factors, there is a complex non-linear relationship between the evaluation index and water quality standard.…”

“…For example, the back propagation artificial neural network (BP ANN) is used to the water environment quality evaluation model; the Radial Basis Function Artificial Neural Network (RBF ANN) is adopted to evaluate water quality. The traditional neural networks have some shortcomings, including slow convergence speed, easy to trap into local extremum, so that many improved neural network models have been successfully applied to water quality evaluation [9] [14] [21].…”

“…One of the paramount features of artificial neural network is their capability in handling large and complex systems with numerous interrelated parameters (Nourani et al, 2011). Artificial neural networks have successfully been utilized in a number of research concentrating on water quality prediction in lakes (Stefan et al, 1995), rivers (Singh et al, 2009;Niroobakhsh et al, 2012),reservoirs (Kuo et al, 2007;Rankovic et al, 2010;) and wastewater treatment (Abyaneh, 2014). Sarkar and Pandey (2015) modeled the water quality of River using Artificial Neural Network system.…”
