According to your experiences please explain ANN benefits and drawbacks compared to other soft computing methods, such as ANFIS, GP, SVM, GMDH, RBF, etc. in case that predicting a parameter is needed.
On my experiments SVM has better accuracy tan ANN in Natural Language Processing.
The classification model is not the most important part, if you have a good training dataset you can obtain good accuary. (sometimes the same accuracy).
If you want to increase accuracy ,you can try with 'Variable and Feature Selection'. Maybe this introduction paper Will be useful https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=944968
In what field you want applied ANN or others similar technique? You must answer on this question before choosing a best intelligent technique. The choose will depend of application arry.
I know, It is very difficult to know which soft computing methods and training algorithm will be the fastest for a given problem. It depends on many factors, including the complexity of the problem, the number of data points in the training set, the number of weights and biases in the network, the error goal, and whether the network is being used for pattern recognition (discriminant analysis) or function approximation (regression). 1"
Function approximation (nonlinear regression) is the field that I would like to learn more. If datasets are available which soft computing methods could show better performance? Though one method should be chosen. How this selection done. Could propose a rational algorithm for this choice.
I think in this case the Neuro-fuzzy based system is able to approximate the non-linear function with more precision. For more assurance and credibility i suggest you to see links and attached files in subject.

My project is to predict life cycle. I have done it in mathematially and I have done in anfis I got answer but is in like if answer is 45886 I am getting like 45000
The performance depends on the size of data sets being used. For example according to my experience in small data sets (500 data) ANFIS has better accuracy than ANN.

Based on the theory, all the method have advantage and disadvantage. But in the practical we can not judge what method is the best. It depends your case and you should be tested.
