Both Neural networks NN and Multivariate Data Analysis MDA techniques were used to determine mechanica[ tensile properties of steels. NN apparently proved better in dealing with non-linearity effects and complex interactions between the predictors, However, MDA was found essential in improving the quality of the prediction and providing interpretation to the results from NN modeliing. KEYWORDS: artificial neural network; mechanical properties; microalloyed steel; multiple regression; multivariate data analysis; principal components analysis. 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
