Today, Sales forecasting plays a key role for each business in this competitive environment. The forecasting of sales data in automobile industry has become a primary concern to predict the accuracy in future sales. This work addresses the problem of monthly sales forecasting in automobile industry (maruti car). The data set is based on monthly sales (past 5 year data from 2008 to 2012). Primarily, we used two forecasting methods namely Moving Average and Exponential smoothing to forecast the past data set and then we use these forecasted values as a input for ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System). Here, MA and ES forecasted values used as input variable for ANFIS to obtain the final accurate sales forecast.Finally we compare our model with two other forecasting models: ANN (Artificial Neural Network) and Linear Regression. Empirical results demonstrate that the ANFIS model gives better results out than other two models.
This main intention of this paper is to adopt a new disease detection model for plant leaves. The proposed model involves several steps such as pre‐processing, leaf segmentation, abnormality segmentation, feature extraction and detection. Image scaling and contrast enhancement are performed during the pre‐processing phase. Once the pre‐processing is done, the segmentation phase starts with leaf segmentation by binary thresholding method and abnormality segmentation by K‐means clustering. Further, the local binary pattern and grey‐level co‐occurrence matrix features are extracted and a dimensionality reduced technique called principle component analysis is determined. As the main novelty, the weighted feature extraction is performed, in which the weight functions are optimized by the self‐adaptive deer hunting optimization (SA‐DHOA). Another contribution of this paper is to implement a hybrid classifier for disease detection. Here, the extracted weighted features are subjected to a support vector machine, and the abnormality segmented image is subjected to convolutional neural network (CNN), which is a deep learning algorithm that can learn the features automatically. Here, the same SA‐DHOA is used to improve the performance of CNN, which is termed as SA‐DHOA‐SCNN. Finally, the performance analysis confirms the maximum success rate of the proposed model over other conventional methods.
