Recently, I have came across a manuscript that present the use of mathematically determined parameters into a soft computing techniques. Although, climate change is always been a topic of dispute. But the question is not about the climate change or its effect. The question is today we are focusing on the use of soft computing techniques for the model developments. However, most of literature comment on the prediction of environmental parameters that are more or less dependent on the mathematical models developed rather than complete use of measured/observed data.
What is exactly feasibility of such data produced as that may be saving time but results are same as that of mathematical/empirical work performed earlier.
What are your opinions on this issues?
Dear Mahesh,
The question should include specific details about the problem to solve related to climate change. But, let us assume you are mitigating climate change through decreasing CO2 emission then it is really an NP problem? In that case the objective is to reduce CO2 and the parameters are different issues (number of electric cars, size of forest area...etc) then soft computing can be used to obtain an optimal global solution to reduce CO2. In that case we are not creating a mathematical model instead we are solving an NP problem. The outcome will be verified later by measuring the CO2 emission after implementing the solution. But in case of a mathematical model we are fitting a polynomial equation to measured data in order to use this model to predict the outcome if specific data are given. Example given recorded data of specific wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum to a created mathematical model we can obtain salinity of the sea. Or providing values of variables for a mathematical model such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature...etc we can predict if it is going to rain or not. I hope I clarified the idea.
Dear Mr.Awad sir,
I agree that the question raised herein has broad scope. We use soft computing for NP problem and also with some assumptions mathematical equations.
In cases use of mathematical equations 'for getting parametric values' to use in soft computing. I don't find acceptable. In case whenever we can't measure direct data then mathematically determined data can be used.
Thanks you.
