Multiple inputs artificial neural network model for the prediction of wastewater treatment plant performance

It is difficult to unveil the complicated interrelationships of wastewater parameters using linear models. A statistical modeling tool called artificial neural network (ANN) is used in this work to predict the performance of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Extensive influent and effluent param...
