The performance measure is based on Mean Square Error (MSE), Sum of Squares Error (SSE) and coefficient of determination (R2). The MLP-NN network produced better and superior results with low MSE of 1.13e-7, SSE of 0.00017 and higher R2 of 99.35. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. %C Danang %O cited By 2; Conference of 5th FTRA International Conference on Computer Science and its Applications, CSA 2013 ; Conference Date: 18 December 2013 Through 21 December 2013; Conference Code:104420
