Neural network architecture selection for efficient prediction model of gas metering system

摘要

This paper presents a comparative study and analysis of different neural network architectures of which one will be recommended towards adoption for developing a prediction model for gas metering system. Thus, the focus of this paper is to select the most suitable neural network architecture for gas metering system prediction model. A few neural networks architecture are modeled and simulated; Radial basis Function (RBF), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Elman Network, Generalized Regression Neural Networks (GRNN) and Elman Neural Network. In order to select the best architecture, the performance of the various networks considered are compared. From the results obtained, the network architecture that results in the best performance is the RBF network structure. Hence recommended for adoption for the design.
