RETRACTED: Application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy technique to determine the most relevant variables for daily soil temperature prediction at different depths

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief.The article duplicates significant parts of a paper that had already appeared in App. Therm. Eng., 96 (2015) 311–319 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2015.11.081), entitled “Using ANFIS for selection of more relevant parameters to predict dew point temperature” and various other papers. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that the paper is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents an abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
