New Approach of Blind Adaptive Equalizer Based on Genetic Algorithms by Caroline A. D. Silva, Marcelo A. C. Fernandes

“…Unlike traditional methods that rely on linear programming and suffer from local minima issues, this technique utilizes a stochastic linear programming cost function with GAs for robust optimization. The proposed method termed Blind Linear Equalizer based on genetic algorithm (BLE-GA) enhances performance by leveraging a GA’s ability to handle stochastic variables, offering rapid convergence and resilience against signal noise and inter-symbol interference. …”

Gross Tonnage-Based Statistical Modeling and Calculation of Shipping Emissions for the Bosphorus Strait by Kaan Ünlügençoğlu

“…These EPA-estimated values served as dependent variables in the modeling process. The modeling framework followed a three-step strategy: (1) outlier detection using Rosner’s test to reduce the influence of outliers on model accuracy, (2) curve fitting with 12 regression models representing four curve types—polynomial (e.g., linear, quadratic), concave/convex (e.g., exponential, logarithmic), sigmoidal (e.g., logistic, Gompertz, Weibull), and spline-based (e.g., cubic spline, natural spline)—to capture diverse functional relationships between GT and emissions, and (3) model comparison using difference performance metrics to ensure a comprehensive assessment of predictive accuracy, consistency, and bias. …”
