Extending One-Way ANOVA to Neutrosophic Sets: A Method for Uncertainty-Based Decision Making

Classical statistical methods assume that data are precise and free from uncertainty, which may not hold in many real-world applications. Neutrosophic statistics provides a flexible framework for handling indeterminacy, vagueness, and inconsistency in data. In this paper, we propose a new formulation of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) within the neutrosophic framework. The method treats membership, indeterminacy, and non-membership components separately, with explicit F -tests for each, and employs a maximum-based decision rule to determine significance. We also compare the proposed method with the classical one-way ANOVA. The results demonstrate that the neutrosophic ANOVA is more sensitive in detecting group differences, particularly in cases where the classical approach yields smaller F -values and may fail to reject the null hypothesis. These findings highlight the potential of neutrosophic ANOVA as a more robust alternative to classical ANOVA for analyzing data with inherent uncertainty and indeterminacy.

Predictability of Stock Price Fluctuations with an Application of Agricultural Companies Data

The research aimed to predict the fluctuations in closing Stock Price of four agricultural companies listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange using daily closing Stock Price data from 11/3/2015 to 15/3/2025. The symmetric and asymmetric ARCH model was applied to the research data. The results of the GARCH models showed that the closing price behavior of the companies (Al-Ahliyah for Agricultural Production, Middle East for Fish, Iraqi for Meat Production and Marketing) achieved a GARCH (1,1) rank, indicating that the effect of past error variance (ARCH) was of rank 1, in addition to the conditional variance element GARCH also being of rank 1. Meanwhile, the results showed that the closing prices for the Iraqi Seed Production Company were of rank GARCH (1,2). The results indicated that the first-order variance parameter was greater than one for all agricultural companies, suggesting that the fluctuations in stock closing prices exhibit a slight upward trend, which aligns with the logic of financial behavior in financial markets.

Irrigation Iot Sensor Data Analytics Using Bio-Inspired Data Mining Techniques

Recently, irrigation management has been considered one of the most significant areas of research in smart vertical farming. Hence, it is essential to optimize freshwater usage for smart vertical farming management due to the lack of freshwater sources. It is observed that the soil moisture level and temperature data need to be appropriately examined and analyzed to predict the water irrigation level in a smart farming platform. Hence, in this work, the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors have been utilized to collect and monitor the soil moisture level, ambient temperature level, and humidity level data effectively. Besides, the collected sensor information has been analyzed and predicted to recognize the appropriate utilization of the optimum level of freshwater using Grey Wolf optimizer integrated recurrent network models. Therefore, this approach successfully analyzes the sensors' data and predicts the required level of irrigation based on motor ON and OFF conditions. The generated data from the sensor has been evaluated using the Keras model using the python language, and the performance is assessed based on the accuracy ratio. This model obtained a maximum of (0.995%) accuracy in forecasting the optimum irrigation level. The proposed system will utilize less voltage to minimize the power consumption ratio up to 35% in the irrigation process with 99.5% accuracy in forecasting the optimum irrigation level.

An Optimized Artificial Neural Network Model Using JAYA Algorithm for Energy Consumption Forecasting in Oman

The Accurate energy forecasting is vital for strategic planning, particularly in de-veloping economies with rapidly evolving demand patterns. This study pro-poses a hybrid Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model optimized using a modified JAYA algorithm to forecast energy consumption in Oman. The JAYA algorithm’s parameter-free, metaheuristic search improves ANN train-ing by enhancing convergence speed and reducing the risk of local minima. Historical data from 2017–2021—comprising GDP, population, and oil and gas production—were used as inputs. Model performance was benchmarked against an ANN trained with the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm using mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), relative error (RE), and root mean square error (RMSE) as evaluation metrics. Results show that ANN–JAYA consistently outperformed ANN–ABC, achieving lower error rates and greater robustness. The proposed approach offers a reliable deci-sion-support tool for policymakers and energy authorities, enabling more ef-fective resource allocation and long-term planning. Future research will ex-tend the framework to integrate renewable energy indicators and real-time data for adaptive, sustainable forecasting.

A Secure Biometric Passkey Pipeline Combining Continuous Thinking Machine Models with Post-Quantum and Neuro-Symbolic Cryptography

The generation of cryptographic keys from biometric traits offers a secure alternative to password-based authentication, but is hindered by challenges related to entropy, reproducibility, and adversarial resistance. This work presents a dual-path framework in which a Continuous Thinking Machine Model (CTMM) extracts multimodal embeddings from iris and fingerprint data. Feature vectors undergo projection through principal component analysis and graph-based distance encoding, followed by chaotic sequence modeling with Lorenz-like dynamics and an error-correcting routine to stabilize bitstreams. A secure mixing function consolidates the outputs, while SHA3-512 ensures deterministic expansion. Final passkeys are generated using the Kyber512 post-quantum key encapsulation mechanism (KEM), with neuro-symbolic reasoning applied as a validation layer to enforce entropy, avalanche properties, and inter-user separation. Evaluation confirmed compliance with NIST statistical tests, including monobit, runs, and longest-run assessments, while the system maintained a near-zero false acceptance rate. The originality of this work lies in combining CTMM-driven multimodal feature extraction with a quantum-safe cryptographic pipeline, augmented by neuro-symbolic validation, to establish a reproducible and secure method for biometric passkey generation in high-assurance authentication contexts.

A Reinforcement Learning Framework for Adaptive Detection of Phishing Attack

Phishing is one of the most dominant forms of cybercrime, with over half a billion incidents occurring annually. It remains one of the most insidious forms of fraud due to its effectiveness. Phishing attacks are on the rise with increasingly deceptive tactics, often leading unwitting victims to divulge personal information. Phishing frauds also involve website phishing, which mimics legitimate sites. Despite the best user training and practices, people still fall for these frauds. The methodology of detecting phishing attacks using the blacklisting approach was not very effective since these URLs are active for a limited period. Hence, Machine Learning methods were used for detecting the phishing attempt. Machine learning solutions are not adaptive to changes in the approach and are biased towards the developed solution. In addition, there is a need to develop a solution to this constantly evolving phishing attack. The proposed system is an attempt to use reinforcement-learning methodology as the solution to detect phishing. It has trained an adaptive intelligent learning system based on previous experiences using the Q-learning algorithm. The system focuses on dynamically selecting the relevant features and the classification model. The agent is trained to select optimal features and classification models dynamically based on Q-learning algorithm. In contrast to static methods, the proposed system continuously adapts its strategy of combinations feature subsets and classification models as defense against the rapidly evolving attacks. The system aims to supplement existing cybersecurity measures with an adaptable tool capable of countering sophisticated phishing schemes. The experimental analysis shows that the proposed methodology attained an accuracy of 99.25%, demonstrating its high performance in phishing detection.
