Numerical Performance of the Fractional Direct Spreading Cholera Disease Model: An Artificial Neural Network Approach

Abstract

The current investigation examines the numerical performance of the fractional-order endemic disease model based on the direct spreading of cholera by applying the neuro-computing Bayesian regularization (BR) neural network process. The purpose is to present the numerical solutions of the fractional-order model, which provides more precise solutions as compared to the integer-order one. Real values based on the parameters can be obtained and one can achieve better results by utilizing these values. The mathematical form of the fractional direct spreading cholera disease is categorized as susceptible, infected, treatment, and recovered, which represents a nonlinear model. The construction of the dataset is performed through the implicit Runge–Kutta method, which is used to lessen the mean square error by taking 74% of the data for training, while 8% is used for both validation and testing. Twenty-two neurons and the log-sigmoid fitness function in the hidden layer are used in the stochastic neural network process. The optimization of BR is performed in order to solve the direct spreading cholera disease problem. The accuracy of the stochastic process is authenticated through the valuation of the outputs, whereas the negligible calculated absolute error values demonstrate the approach’s correctness. Furthermore, the statistical operator performance establishes the reliability of the proposed scheme.
