Policy capturing is a decision analysis technique normally using linear statistical models to infer the basis of expert judgments. The purpose of the present work was to test if the C4.5 decision tree (DT) algorithm (a non-linear machine learning method) is more effective at capturing individual’s decision policies than the standard linear technique. Human classification behavior was measured i...

In this paper, two different ways of introducing alternation for lattice-valued (referred to as {L}valued)  regular tree grammars and {L}valued top-down tree automata are compared. One is the way which defines the alternating regular tree grammar, i.e., alternation is governed by the non-terminals of the grammar and the other is the way which combines state with alternation. The first way is ta...

OBJECTIVES The importance of the prediction of coronary heart disease (CHD) has been recognized in Korea; however, few studies have been conducted in this area. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for the prediction and classification of CHD in Koreans. METHODS A model for CHD prediction must be designed according to rule-based guidelines. In this study, a fuzzy logic and decision ...

background : breast cancer survival has been analyzed by many standard data mining algorithms. a group of these algorithms belonged to the decision tree category. ability of the decision tree algorithms in terms of visualizing and formulating of hidden patterns among study variables were main reasons to apply an algorithm from the decision tree category in the current study that has not studied...

Structural integrity is a crucial aspect of engineering components, particularly in the field additive manufacturing (AM). Surface roughness vital parameter that significantly influences structural additively manufactured parts. This research work focuses on prediction surface additive-manufactured polylactic acid (PLA) specimens using eight different supervised machine learning regression-base...

Associating certain forms and designs in Islamic Arts with the promised Heaven may be widely observed in the works of many historians and critics of the field. It is believed that Islamic Art has been derived from the imagination of the Paradise as depicted in Holy Quran. To express this meaning in technical words it should be said that the main concept in Islamic Arts has been the gardens of h...
