Artificial neural networks and used of waiting time estimation

In recent years, artificial neural networks have been applied in many areas and it is one of the most commonly researched methods. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) techniques are effective for the complex and non-linear models. ANN research techniques are applied to various fields such as classification, optimization, forecasting, recognition, modeling and learning.This paper introduces basic structure and working architecture of artificial neural networks. Patient?s waiting time has been estimated by the help of artificial neural networks for the application part. The various statistical normalization techniques used with by combination of learning techniques. The results showed that, the estimated performance of waiting time depends on normalization techniques, which is used in the neural networks. As a conclusion, it has been shown that artificial neural networks can be used successfully to forecast future by using normalization and learning techniques.
