assembly lines are special kinds of production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity commodities. in many practical manufacturing systems, configuration of assembly lines is fixed and designing a new line may be incurred huge amount of costs and thereby it is not desirable for practitioners. when some changes related to market demand occur, it is wo...

Globally, over the past ten years, computer networks and Internet of Things (IoT) have grown significantly due to increasing amount data that has been collected, ranging from zettabytes petabytes. As a result, as network expanded, security problems also emerged. The large sets involved in these types attacks can make detection difficult. developing are being used for multitude sophisticated pur...

A stepwise regression tree (SRT) algorithm was developed for approximating complex nonlinear relationships. Based on the regression tree of Breiman et al. (BRT) and a stepwise linear regression (SLR) method, this algorithm represents an improvement over SLR in that it can approximate nonlinear relationships and over BRT in that it gives more realistic predictions. The applicability of this meth...
