Artificial neural networks (ANNs) can be used to predict energy consumption more reliably
than traditional simulation models and regression techniques. Artificial neural networks are …

Various models based on regression as well as artificial neural networks have been studied
for the estimation of monthly average global solar radiations. Most of the regression models …
