A large experiment on combining classifiers is reported and discussed. It includes, both, the combination of different classifiers on the same feature set and the combination of classifiers on different feature sets. Various fixed and trained combining rules are used. It is shown that there is no overall winning combining rule and that bad classifiers as well as bad feature sets may contain val...

In classifier combining, one tries to fuse the information that is given by a set of base classifiers. In such a process, one of the difficulties is how to deal with the variability between classifiers. Although various measures and many combining rules have been suggested in the past, the problem of constructing optimal combiners is still heavily studied. In this paper, we discuss and illustra...

A comparison among two forms of half-diallel analysis was made. The different half-diallel techniques used were Griffing's model I, method 2 and 4. These methods of diallel analysis were found to be interrelated. However, as Griffing's model I, method 4 partitioned heterosis into different components as well as gave information about combining ability and this method had certainly some advantag...

The relative magnitude of general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) effects in three generations (years), viz. Seedling (SG), first clonal generation (FCG) and second clonal generation (SCG) for tuber yield, tuber number, average tuber weight and tuber dry matter of potato in a line x tester mating design (10 × 4) was studied. There were marked differences in the gca ...

Improvement in leaf hydraulics is directly related to the improvement of plant tolerance to drought stress. Therefore, a field and pot experiment was carried out to determine the type of genetic variability and selection of parental types on the basis of combining ability for leaf hydraulics. Genotypes showed similar performance in both experiments; higher values were shown by drought tolerant ...

although inter-variety variability for salt tolerance has been reported in bread wheat plants, little information is available on the genetic control of ion contents and biomass yield under saline conditions. a diallel cross, including reciprocals of two salt tolerant, two moderately tolerant and two sensitive iranian and exotic bread wheat varieties, was analyzed to investigate the inheritance...
