Özet

Gross calorific value (GCV) of coal was predicted by using as-received basis proximate analysis data. Twomain objectives of the study were to develop prediction models for GCV using proximate analysis variables and toreveal the distinct predictors of GCV. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and artifcial neural network (ANN) (multilayerperceptron MLP, general regression neural network GRNN, and radial basis function neural network RBFNN) methodswere applied to the developed 11 models created by different combinations of the predictor variables. By conducting 10-fold cross-validation, the prediction accuracy of the models has been tested by using R2, RMSE , MAE , and MAP E .In this study, for the first time in the literature, for a single dataset, maximum number of coal samples were utilizedand GRNN and RBFNN methods were used in GCV prediction based on proximate analysis. The results showed thatmoisture and ash are the most discriminative predictors of GCV and the developed RBFNN-based models produce highperformance for GCV prediction. Additionally, performances of the regression methods, from the best to the worst, wereRBFNN, GRNN, MLP, and MLR
