Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the development and evaluation of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based on the model for predicting the salinity of the Warta River. The study focused on the prediction of river water salinity, expressed in terms of electrical conductivity (EC), using the proposed ANN structure of 7-10-1. The network showed a satisfactory ability to capture the interrelationships between the input data: sulphates, chlorides, calcium, magnesium, total hardness, pH, and total dissolved solids. The correlation coefficient (R) values for the training, validation and test sets were 0.99444, 0.96988 and 0.97174, respectively. From the results, it can be concluded that the developed model is suitable for predicting the EC of the river.
