In this paper, presenting two simple methods for ranking of efficient DMUs in DEA models that included to add one virtual DMU as ideal DMU and is using the additive model. Note that, we use an ideal point just for comparing efficient DMUs with. Although these methods are simple, they have ability for ranking all efficient DMUs, extreme points and the others, also they are capable of ranking t...

An adaptation process is described to adapt a ranking model constructed for a broad-based search engine for use with a domain-specific ranking model. It’s difficult to applying the broad-based ranking model directly to different domains due to domain differences, to build a unique ranking model for each domain it time-consuming for training models. In this paper,we address these difficulties by...

A novel ranking method based on multi-time information fusion is proposed for intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and applied to the threat assessment problem, a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) one. This method integrates a designed intuitionistic fuzzy entropy (IFE), the closeness degree of technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), the decision maker¡¯s (DM¡¯...

this paper introduces a new method for incorporating the performance of alternatives into their ultimate ranking in a linear assignment method. this method is one of multi-criteria decision-making methods, in which the weight of criteria is incorporated in ranking the alternatives, and the distance between the performances of alternatives do not affect in ranking the alternatives. in order to m...

Ranking documents in terms of their relevance to a given query is fundamental to many real-life applications such as document retrieval and recommendation systems. Extensive studies in this area have focused on developing efficient ranking models. While ranking models are usually trained based on given training datasets, besides model training algorithms, the quality of the document features se...

Agrostopoa Davidse, Soreng & P. M. Peterson, a new genus endemic to the páramos of Colombia, is proposed. The genus includes two new species, A. barclayae Davidse, Soreng & P. M. Peterson and A. woodii Soreng, P. M. Peterson & Davidse, and a third species transferred from Muhlenbergia Schreber, A. wallisii (Mez) P. M. Peterson, Soreng & Davidse (lectotype designated here). A key for determining...
