in this research, the decision on belief (dob) approach was employed to analyze and classify the states of uni-variate quality control systems. the concept of dob and its application in decision making problems were introduced, and then a methodology for modeling a statistical quality control problem by dob approach was discussed. for this iterative approach, the belief for a system being out-o...

potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. this paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on genetic algorithm (ga) optimization and morphological operators. the proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

An in-house developed computer program system Belief SEEKER, capable to generate belief networks and to convert them into respective sets of belief rules, was applied in mining the melanoma database. The obtained belief rules were compared with production rules generated by LERS system. It was found, that belief rules can be presumably treated as a generalization of standard IF...THEN rules.

We demonstrate a density projection approximation method for solving resource management problems with imperfect state information. The method expands the set of partiallyobserved Markov decision process (POMDP) problems that can be solved with standard dynamic programming tools by addressing dimensionality problems in the decision maker's belief state. Density projection is suitable for uncert...

Recent evolutionary accounts seek to explain religious belief and behavior in terms of native cognitive dispositions and culturally transmitted innovations that have persisted because they have adaptive value. Despite the often vitriolic evolutionreligion debate, new evolutionary theories typically avoid challenging the truth of religious beliefs. In this paper we do three things. (1) We descri...

The main aim of this paper is to visualize the historical development and belief system Confucianism. Confucianism a term used in Western literature as name for philosophy religion based on teachings its founder Confucius.). Confucius believed that political order can be restored if ideals, standards, rites found ancient classics were put into practice. This practice developed from an ethico-po...
