“…On the other hand, an ANN model does not give any kind of information about the particular phenomenon, but, with an appropriate training of the network, it can predict the effects of variables, such as the speed of the shake mechanism (Shao et al, 2007;Li et al, 2011). In addition, the artificial neural network constitutes a useful tool for modelling the process of molecular distillation with great precision but it needs a great amount the experimental data and does not give information about a determined effect (Shao et al, 2007;Haykin, 2009;Lima et al, 2011).…”
