Hybrid approach to design optimisation: preserve accuracy, reduce dimensionality

Mariusz Kamola (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper proposes a design procedure for the creation of a robust and effective hybrid algorithm, tailored to and capable of carrying out a given design optimisation task. In the course of algorithm creation, a small set of simple optimisation methods is chosen, out of which those performing best will constitute the hybrid algorithm. The simplicity of the method allows implementing ad-hoc modifications if unexpected adverse features of the optimisation problem are found. It is postulated...

Automatic risk control based on FSA methodology adaptation for safety assessment in intelligent buildings

Jerzy Mikulik, Mirosław Zajdel (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The main area which Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) methodology was created for is maritime safety. Its model presents quantitative risk estimation and takes detailed information about accident characteristics into account. Nowadays, it is broadly used in shipping navigation around the world. It has already been shown that FSA can be widely used for the assessment of pilotage safety. On the basis of analysis and conclusion on the FSA approach, this paper attempts to show that the adaptation...

Learning from imprecise examples with GA-P algorithms.

Luciano Sánchez, Inés Couso (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

GA-P algorithms combine genetic programming and genetic algorithms to solve symbolic regression problems. In this work, we will learn a model by means of an interval GA-P procedure which can use precise or imprecise examples. This method provides us with an analytic expression that shows the dependence between input and output variables, using interval arithmetic. The method also provides us with interval estimations of the parameters on which this expression depends. The...

Relative Measurement and Its Generalization in Decision Making. Why Pairwise Comparisons are Central in Mathematics for the Measurement of Intangible Factors. The Analytic Hierarchy/Network Process.

Thomas L. Saaty (2008)

RACSAM

Similarity:

According to the great mathematician Henri Lebesgue, making direct comparisons of objects with regard to a property is a fundamental mathematical process for deriving measurements. Measuring objects by using a known scale first then comparing the measurements works well for properties for which scales of measurement exist. The theme of this paper is that direct comparisons are necessary to establish measurements for intangible properties that have no scales of measurement. In that case...

Canonical non-symmetrical correspondence analysis: an alternative in constrained ordination.

Priscila Willems, M. Purificación Galindo Villardon (2008)

SORT

Similarity:

Canonical non-symmetrical correspondence analysis is developed as an alternative method for constrained ordination, relating external information (e.g., environmental variables) with ecological data, considering species abundance as dependant on sites. Ordination axes are restricted to be linear combinations of the environmental variables, based on the information of the most abundant species. This extension and its associated unconstrained ordination method are terms of a global model...
