Characterization of oil palm fruitlets using artificial neural network by Olukayode, Ojo Adedayo

“…To further validate the generalization accuracy of the LSB_ANN, its performance was compared with that of a Multi-ANFIS network as well as those of three different ANN training algorithms: Levenberg Marquardt (LM) algorithm, Resilient Backpropagation (RP) algorithm and Gradient Descent with Adaptive learning rate (GDA). Having a testing Variance-For (VAF) of 97.81 and Root Mean Square Error of 3.97, the LSB_ANN was found to possess a better post training generalization ability than the LM, RP and GDA algorithms which had VAF of 93.57, 96.26 and 94.09 respectively, and RMSE of 4.14, 4.38, and 7.98 respectively. …”
