    Neuron Modeling: Estimating the Parameters of a Neuron Model From Neural Spiking Data
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2018) Doruk, Resat Ozgur; Doruk, Ozgur
    We present a modeling study aiming at the estimation of the parameters of a single neuron model from neural spiking data. The model receives a stimulus as input and provides the firing rate of the neuron as output. The neural spiking data will be obtained from point process simulation. The resultant data will be used in parameter estimation based on the inhomogeneous Poisson maximum likelihood method. The model will be stimulated by various forms of stimuli, which are modeled by a Fourier series (FS), exponential functions, and radial basis functions (RBFs). Tabulated results presenting cases with different sample sizes (# of repeated trials), stimulus component sizes (FS and RBF), amplitudes, and frequency ranges (FS) will be presented to validate the approach and provide a means of comparison. The results showed that regardless of the stimulus type, the most effective parameter on the estimation performance appears to be the sample size. In addition, the lowest variance of the estimates is obtained when a Fourier series stimulus is applied in the estimation.

    Comparison of Three Different Learning Methods of Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network for Wind Speed Forecasting
    (Gazi Univ, 2021) Bulut, Mehmet; Tora, Hakan; Buaisha, Dr.magdi; Buaisha, Magdi
    In the world, electric power is the highest need for high prosperity and comfortable living standards. The security of energy supply is an essential concept in national energy management. Therefore, ensuring the security of electricity supply requires accurate estimates of electricity demand. The share of electricity generation from renewables is significantly growing in the world. This kind of energy types are dependent on weather conditions as the wind and solar energies. There are two vital requirements to locate and measure specific systems to utilize wind power: modelling and forecasting of the wind velocity. To this end, using only 4 years of measured meteorological data, the present research attempts to estimate the related speed of wind within the Libyan Mediterranean coast with the help of ANN (artificial neural networking) with three different learning algorithms, which are Levenberg-Marquardt, Bayesian Regularization and Scaled Conjugate Gradient. Conclusions reached in this study show that wind speed can be estimated within acceptable limits using a limited set of meteorological data. In the results obtained, it was seen that the SCG algorithm gave better results in tests in this study with less data.

    Predicting Credit Card Customer Churn Using Support Vector Machine Based on Bayesian Optimization
    (Ankara Univ, Fac Sci, 2021) Ünlü, Kamil Demirberk
    In this study, we have employed a hybrid machine learning algorithm to predict customer credit card churn. The proposed model is Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Bayesian Optimization (BO). BO is used to optimize the hyper-parameters of the SVM. Four different kernels are utilized. The hyper-parameters of the utilized kernels are calculated by the BO. The prediction power of the proposed models are compared by four different evaluation metrics. Used metrics are accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score. According to each metrics linear kernel has the highest performance. It has accuracy of %91. The worst performance achieved by sigmoid kernel which has accuracy of %84.
