Semiparametric procedures for prediction of total genetic value for quantitative traits, which make use of phenotypic and genomic data simultaneously, are presented. The methods focus on the treatment of massive information provided by, e.g., single-nucleotide polymorphisms. It is argued that standard parametric methods for quantitative genetic analysis cannot handle the multiplicity of potenti...

The main goal of this paper is to compare the performance which can be achieved by five different approaches analyzing their applications’ potentiality on real world paradigms. We compare the performance obtained with (1) Multi-network RBF/LVQ structure (2) Discrete Hidden Markov Models (HMM) (3) Hybrid HMM/MLP system using a Multi LayerPerceptron (MLP) to estimate the HMM emission probabilitie...

This paper focuses on the non-fragile guaranteed cost control problem for a class of T-S fuzzy time-varying delay systems with local bilinear models. The objective is to design a non-fragile guaranteed cost state feedback controller via the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) approach such that the closed-loop system is delay-dependent asymptotically stable and the closed-loop performance i...

Introduction A classical question in the theory of functional equations is “when is it true that a mapping, which approximately satisfies a functional equation, must be somehow close to an exact solution of the equation?”. Such a problem, called a stability problem of the functional equation, was formulated by Ulam [1] in 1940. In the next year, Hyers [2] gave a partial solution of Ulam’s probl...

Properties of fuzzy complementary preference relation have been studied. Based on the transformation between fuzzy complementary preference relation and reciprocal fuzzy preference relation, this paper proposes definitions of additive consistency for fuzzy complementary preference relation, gives the concepts of restricted max-min transitivity, restricted max-max transitivity and weak monotonic...
