Multilayer perceptron-genetic algorithm as a promising tool for modeling cultivation substrate of Auricularia cornea Native to Iran
Table 5
Importance (according to the sensitivity analysis) of the different input variables including different concentration levels of beech (BS) and hornbeam sawdust (HS), and wheat (WB) and rice brans (RB) for achieving maximum yield and biological efficiency (BE), and also minimum spawn run period (SRP), days for pinhead formation (DPHF), days for the first harvest (DFFH), and total cultivation period (TCP) of Auricularia cornea using multilayer perceptron-genetics algorithm models (MLP-GA), and also hidden neuron numbers in each developed model.
