A comparative analysis of artificial neural networks and wavelet hybrid approaches to long-term toxic heavy metal prediction

Abstract The occurrence of toxic metals in the aquatic environment is as caused by a variety of contaminations which makes difficulty in the concentration prediction. In this study, conventional methods of back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inp...
