Abstract: International audience; In this study, four different mathematical models were considered to predict the coagulant dose in view of turbidity removal: response surface methodology (RSM), artificial neural networks (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The results showed that all models accurately fitted the experimental data, even if the ANN model was slightly above the other models. The SVM model led to almost similar results as the ANN model; the only difference was in the validation phase, sin...
