Abstract Quantile regression is a field with steadily growing importance in statistical modeling. It complementary method to linear regression, since computing range of conditional quantile functions provides more accurate modeling the stochastic relationship among variables, especially tails. We introduce nonrestrictive and highly flexible nonparametric approach based on C- D-vine copulas. Vin...

Ripple Down Rules (RDR) have a longstanding (and successful) history in the field of biomedical engineering. RDR are a knowledge acquisition and representation technique that allow knowledge to be rapidly acquired and maintained by the domain expert. A key feature of RDR, and the reason why maintenance is easily managed, is that rules are never modified or deleted but they are locally patched. ...
