“…The comparisons of the accuracies of the old and the upgraded algorithm for the different data split methods and the different input space partitioning were made both for 40 and 60 epochs, as with the old algorithm, in some of the cases, overfits after 40 epochs and 60 epochs seemed a reasonable sublimate according the RMSE simulation results. It is well known that size reduction methods are preferred, in applications where the number of input parameters in the data set is too large [31]. In this sense, the PCA in the upgraded algorithm plays a key role, i.e.…”
