Viability of two adaptive fuzzy systems based on fuzzy c means and subtractive clustering methods for modeling Cadmium in groundwater resources

of 0.983. The performance of the implemented ANFIS-FCM model was compared with the ANFIS-SUB model and it is found that the ANFIS-FCM provided slightly higher accuracy than the ANFIS-SUB model. Also, the results obtained from the comparison between the predicted and the actual data indicated that the ANFIS-FCM and ANFIS-SUB have a strong potential in estimating the heavy metals in the groundwater with a high degree of accuracy.
