In this paper, we propose another paradigm(QNBP) to be capable of overcoming Limitations of the traditional backpropagation(SDBP). QNBPis based on the method of Quasi -Newton(variable metric) with the nomalized direction vectors and computes step size through the linear search. Simulation results showed that QNBP was definitely superior to both the stochasitc SDBP and the deterministic SDBP in terms of accuracy and rate of convergence and might sumount the problem of local minima. and there was no different between DFP+SR1 and BFGS+SR1 combined algrothms in QNBP.

Spatial-Stochastic Neural Networks Model(SSNNM) is used to estimate long-term streamflow in the parallel reservoir groups. SSNNM employs two kinds of backpropagation algorithms, based on LMBP and BFGS-QNBP separately. SSNNM has three layers, input, hidden, and output layer, in the structure and network configuration consists of 8-8-2 nodes one by one. Nodes in input layer are composed of streamflow, precipitation, pan evaporation, and temperature with the monthly average values collected from Andong and Imha reservoir. But some temporal differences apparently exist in their time series. For the SSNNM training procedure, the training sets in input layer are generated by the PARMA(1,1) stochastic model and they covers insufficient time series. Generated data series are used to train SSNNM and the model parameters, optimal connection weights and biases, are estimated during training procedure. They are applied to evaluate model validation using observed data sets. In this study, the new approaches give outstanding results by the comparison of statistical analysis and hydrographs in the model validation. SSNNM will help to manage and control water distribution and give basic data to develop long-term coupled operation system in parallel reservoir groups of the Upper Nakdong River.
