Forecasting stock indices with back propagation neural network

In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of thermal and moisture comfort prediction of underwear, a new prediction model is designed by using principal component analysis method to reduce the dimension of related variables and eliminate the multi-collinearity relationship between variables, and then inputting the converted variables into genetic algorithm (GA) and BP neural network. In order to avoid the problems of slow convergence speed and easy falling into local minimum of Back Propagation (BP) neural network, this paper adopted GA to optimize the weights and thresholds of BP neural network, and utilized MATLAB software to program, and established the prediction models of BP neural network and GA–BP neural network. To verify the superiority of the model, the predicted result of GA–BP, PCA–BP and BP are compared with GA–BP neural network. The results show that PCA could improve the accuracy and adaptability of GA–BP neural network for thermal and moisture comfort prediction. PCA–GA–BP model is obviously superior to GA–BP, PCA–BP, BP, SVM and K-means prediction models, which could accurately predict thermal and moisture comfort of underwear. The model has better accuracy prediction and simpler structure.

Stock market crashes bring about huge economic loss, so predicting the stock market crashes is extremely important for both the investors and practitioners. Back propagation (BP) neural network performed greatly in data adaptability and fitting, it has been widely used for forecasting study in various fields. However, given the low frequency and lack of periodicity of stock market crashes, the BP neural network can hardly predict the intensively fluctuated stock prices accurately during the crashes. To resolve this issue, we introduced BP neural network into Log-periodic power law model, proposed the Log-periodic power law hybrid model based on the BP neural network. This combined approach could further capture the fluctuation trend and predict the volatility during the stock market crashes better. The experimental results showed that this hybrid model could predict the stock prices in different stock markets with a slightly increased accuracy. Moreover, its performance was more stable compared with BP neural network.

Standard back propagation (BP) neural network has disadvantages such as slow convergence speed, local minimum and difficulty in definition of network structure. In this paper, an learning vector quantization (LVQ) neural network classifier is established, then it is applied in pattern classification of two-dimensional vectors on a plane. To test its classification ability, the classification results of LVQ neural network and BP neural network are compared with each other. The simulation result shows that compared with classification method based on BP neural network, the one based on LVQ neural network has a shorter learning time. Besides, its requirements for learning samples and the number of competing layers are also lower. Therefore it is an effective classification method which is powerful in classification of two-dimensional vectors on a plane.

For the purpose of analyzing the application of back propagation (BP) neural network model in retinal vascular segmentation of color fundus images, in this study, the traditional BP neural network was first improved by adopting the additional momentum method. Second, adaptive histogram, morphological background subtraction, Gauss preprocessing matching filter and Heisen matrix were used to enhance the image and extract the features. Third, the retinal vascular segmentation algorithm for color fundus images was constructed based on optimized BP neural network. Finally, the DRIVE and MESSIDOR data sets of color fundus images were introduced to compare the proposed algorithm with the convolutional neural network (CNN) and pulse-coupled neural network (PCNN) algorithms in terms of performance. In addition, the three algorithms were also compared in terms of the sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), accuracy (Ac), average operation time for each image and F1 value. The results show that the BP neural network algorithm proposed in this study shows obvious advantage over the other two algorithms in the segmentation of color fundus images. In the DRIVE data set, the Se (81.37%), Sp (90.55%) and Ac (95.82%) of BP algorithm are the highest among the three; in the MESSIDOR data set, the Se (85.22%), Sp (91.08%) and Ac (96.16%) of BP algorithm are also highest; in the DRIVE and MESSIDOR data sets, the operation time of BP algorithm is (28.46 ± 3.19 ms; 24.73 ± 4.81 ms, respectively), which are significantly less than the other two algorithms. Besides, the F1 value of the proposed algorithm is obviously higher than that the other two algorithms. As a result, it is concluded that compared with the CNN algorithm and the PCNN algorithm, the proposed algorithm is more effective in the retinal vascular segmentation of color fundus images; the capillaries have better connectivity, and the proposed algorithm can improve the segmentation Ac while reducing the operation time.

Purpose In order to analyze the text complexity of Chinese and foreign academic English writings, the artificial neural network (ANN) under deep learning (DL) is applied to the study of text complexity. Firstly, the research status and existing problems of text complexity are introduced based on DL. Secondly, based on Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithm, analyzation is made on the text complexity of Chinese and foreign academic English writings.

Predicting the harvest time of wheat in large areas is important for guiding the scheduling of wheat combine harvesters and reducing losses during harvest. In this study, Zhumadian, Zhengzhou and Anyang, the main winter-wheat-producing areas in Henan province, were selected as the observation points, and the main producing areas were from south to north. Based on Landsat 8 satellite remote sensing images, the changes in NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index), and NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) were analyzed at different growth stages of winter wheat in 2020. Multiple regression analysis and Back Propagation (BP) neural network machine learning methods were used to establish prediction models for the harvest time of winter wheat at different growth stages. The results showed that the prediction model based on a BP neural network had high accuracy. The RMSE, MAE and MAPE of the training set and the test set were 0.531 and 0.5947, 0.3001 and 0.3104, 0.0114% and 0.0119%, respectively. The prediction model of winter wheat harvest date based on BP neural network was verified in the main winter wheat producing areas of Henan province in 2020 and 2021. The average errors were 1.67 days and 2.13 days, which were less than 3 days, meeting the needs for winter wheat production and harvest. The grain water content of winter wheat at harvest time calculated by the prediction model reached the grain water standard of the wheat combine harvester. Therefore, the prediction of the winter wheat harvest time can be realized based on multiple remote sensing indicators.

ecause of the importance of dust abatement by sprayer, this paper studies the characteristic of fogdrop generated by one kind of nozzle on basis of Back Propagation (BP) Neural Network, using Marvin-3000 type laser granularity instrument in lab. It is pointed that the maximum and minimum errors of widely used BP Neural Network are 2.18% and 0.61%, when we compute the fogdrop diameter computing repeatedly. In more general case, if the nozzle diameter change, the maximum and minimum errors using BP Neural Network are 1.92% and 0.34% by comparing with other’s work, while the errors are 2.13% and 1.50% when pressure change. The experimental results show that BP neural network is an effective tool to predict the variation of the non-linear fogdrop diameter. Furthermore, it is potential to be used in other kinds of fogdrop and real industry application.
