We formulate a general Association rule mining model for extracting useful information from very large databases. An interactive Association rule mining system is designed using a combination of genetic algorithms and a modified a-priori based algorithm. The association rule mining problem is modeled as a multi-objective combinatorial problem which is solved using genetic algorithms. The combin...

We present SLUG, a method that uses genetic algorithms as wrapper for programming (GP), to perform feature selection while inducing models. This is first tested on four regular binary classification datasets, and then 10 synthetic datasets produced by GAMETES, tool embedding epistatic gene-gene interactions into noisy datasets. compare the results of SLUG with ones obtained other GP-based metho...

Preventive healthcare aims at reducing the likelihood and severity of potentially life-threatening illnesses by protection and early detection. In this paper, a bi-objective mathematical model is proposed to design a network of preventive healthcare facilities so as to minimize total travel and waiting time as well as establishment and staffing cost. Moreover, each facility acts as M/M/1 queuin...

this paper presents a genetic algorithm (ga) for solving a generalized model of single-item resource-constrained aggregate production planning (app) with linear cost functions. app belongs to a class of pro-duction planning problems in which there is a single production variable representing the total production of all products. we linearize a linear mixed-integer model of app subject to hiring...

a new integrated model is developed for information systems planning. in this model, entitled hisspm, a combination of the strengths of critical success factors (csf) method, analytic hierarchy process (ahp) technique and genetic algorithms (ga) is used to identify and prioritize the required information systems. this model considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, as well as the imp...

Color visualization of the DNA diverse living beings can help in exploration issue chromatic differentiation functional mappings nucleotide composition molecules. By “chromatic differentiation”, we mean coloring these mappings. Algorithms for genetic representations improve perception complex information using color. Methodologically, to build DNA, employed system Walsh functions and Chaos Game...

We study the problem of computing the diameter of a  set of $n$ points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space for a fixed dimension $d$, and propose a new $(1+varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm with $O(n+ 1/varepsilon^{d-1})$ time and $O(n)$ space, where $0 < varepsilonleqslant 1$. We also show that the proposed algorithm can be modified to a $(1+O(varepsilon))$-approximation algorithm with $O(n+...
