Tree-Based Analysis

Tree-Based Response Surface Analysis

Computer-simulated experiments have become a cost effective way for engineers to replace real experiments in the area of product development. However, one single computer-simulated experiment can still take a significant amount of time. Hence, in order to minimize the amount of simulations needed to investigate a certain design space, different approaches within the design of experiments area a...

Overcoming the uncertainty in a research reactor LOCA in level-1 PSA; Fuzzy based fault-tree/event-tree analysis

Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) which plays a crucial role in risk evaluation is a quantitative approach intended to demonstrate how a nuclear reactor meets the safety margins as part of the licensing process. Despite PSA merits, some shortcomings associated with the final results exist. Conventional PSA uses crisp values to represent the failure probabilities of basic events. This causes...

Fuzzy Decision-Tree-Based Analysis of Databases

The 1960s included the earliest discussion on an inductive approach towards the construction of a decision tree for the classification of objects that are described by attributes (Hunt, Marin, & Stone, 1966). It is not until over a decade later that the popularization of the decision tree method was materialized with the introduction of what developed into the Interactive Dichotomizer 3 (Quinla...

Homological Tree-Based Strategies for Image Analysis

Homological characteristics of digital objects can be obtained in a straightforward manner computing an algebraic map φ over a finite cell complex K (with coefficients in the finite field F2 = {0, 1}) which represents the digital object [9]. Computable homological information includes the Euler characteristic, homology generators and representative cycles, higher (co)homology operations, etc. T...
