Artificial Neural Networks Allow the Prediction of Anxiety in Alzheimer's Patients

The anxiety of Alzheimer's disease (AD) contributes significantly to decreased quality of life, increased morbidity, higher levels of caregiver distress, and the decision to institutionalize a patient. However, the incidence of anxiety in AD patients hasn't been discussed. In this study, artificial neural networks were used to predict the incidence of anxiety in AD patients. A large randomized controlled clinical trial was analyzed in this study, which involved AD patients and caregivers from...

Short-Term Wind Power Prediction with Radial Basis Networks

In this paper, we propose a method to predict wind power production with radial basis function networks. In this case, the power production is the aggregated production of all wind farms of one electricity company. The method uses wind speed predictions supplied by a meteorological agency, and predicts up to several days ahead. The coarse resolution of one meter per second is overcome by combining the weather data from several meteorological stations. The wind direction is mapped on a circle,...
