A hybrid PSO optimized SVM-based model for predicting a successful growth cycle of the Spirulina platensis from raceway experiments data

作者:

Highlights:

• A hybrid PSO–SVM-based model is built as a predictive model of the S. platensis growth cycle.

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

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

• The obtained regression accuracy of the hybrid PSO–SVM–RBF-based model is about 99%.

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