Quantitative functions for size and distance judgments

Reasoning and intuiting the standards for judgments

  What is the extension to which the act of reasoning and the standards of judgments are interrelated? The author, proposing Muslim scholars` views in the field and relying on traditions, ahadith, has concluded that firstly one has to answer the question: does the standard and expediency of Divine judgment lies in the judgment or in its object? The latter is signified, however, with view to so...

Preferences, Utilities, and Quantitative Judgments

This paper is concerned with a major hiatus in prescriptive decision analysis, which of course includes portions of the AI preferences field when used in interactions with human beings. In such settings, all multi-attribute decision aids must elicit some sort of preference ordering, and this entails quantitative judgments. Therein lies the rub: since all quantitative judgments involve cognitive...

Natural pseudo-distance and optimal matching between reduced size functions

We study a dissimilarity measure between shapes, expressed by the natural pseudodistance between size pairs, where a shape is viewed as a topological space endowed with a real-valued continuous function. Measuring dissimilarity amounts to minimizing the change in the functions due to the application of homeomorphisms between topological spaces, with respect to the L∞-norm. A new class of shape ...

A Variety of Size and Distance Judgments under Monocular Observation: Instructions and Individual Differences

Corona Ring Optimization for Different Cases of Polymer Insulators Based on its Size and Distance

This paper describes the impact of the distance and the size of the corona ring, on the magnitude anddistribution of electrical potential across the polymer insulators. The procedure is based on finiteelement method numerical analysis and stochastic optimization algorithm of differential evolution(DE). The optimal selection of corona ring has a significant impact on the control of potential and...
