A hybrid PSO optimized SVM-based method for predicting of the cyanotoxin content from experimental cyanobacteria concentrations in the Trasona reservoir: A case study in Northern Spain

作者:

Highlights:

• A hybrid PSO–SVM-based model is built as a predictive model of the cyanotoxin content.

• Chlorophyll is a relevant parameter used to estimate the biomass production.

• The biological and physical–chemical variables in this process are studied in depth.

• The obtained regression accuracy of the hybrid PSO–RBF–SVM-based model is about 95%.

• The results show that PSO–SVM-based models can assist in the diagnosis of the cyanotoxin presence.
