The selection of most relevant features can significantly reduce the resource requirement associated with fuzzy ARTMAP neural networks for the classification of high-dimensional data extracted from satellite imagery. This paper introduces a variant of a wrapper-type feature ranking technique that was previously proposed for ARTMAP neural networks by Parsons and Carpenter. As with the originally...

banks are one of the most important financial sectors in order to the economic development of each country. certainly, efficiency scores and ranks of banks are significant and effective aspects towards future planning. sometimes the performance of banks must be measured in the presence of undesirable and vague factors. for these reasons in the current paper a procedure based on data envelopment...

Two families of metrics in space of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are considered. A method of ranking intuitionistic fuzzy numbers based on these metrics is also suggested and invesigated.

This paper compares two multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches based on linguistic label assessment. The first approach consists of a modified fuzzy TOPSIS methodology introduced by Kaya and Kahraman in 2011. The second approach, introduced by Agell et al. in 2012, is based on qualitative reasoning techniques for ranking multi-attribute alternatives in group decision-making with lingu...

Regarding the fact that getting a suitable combination of the human resources and service stations is one of the important issues in the most service and manufacturing environments, In this paper, we have studied the two models of planning queuing systems and its effect on the cost of the each system by using two fuzzy queuing models of M/M/1 and M/E2/1. In the first section, we have compar...

In prediction modeling, the choice of features chosen from original feature set is crucial for accuracy and model interpretability. Feature ranking techniques rank by its importance but there no consensus on number to be cut-off. Thus, it becomes important identify a threshold value or range, so as remove redundant features. this work, an empirical study conducted identification benchmark algor...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a technique used to compare efficiency in various sectors such as hospitals, chain stores, and dealerships. it represents a set of linear programming techniques and uses deter-ministic data (inputs and outputs), in stable conditions. the dea technique cannot be used when there is data with indeterministic nature, or when there is an environment with dynamic co...
