Graphical log-linear models are effective for representing complex structures that emerge from high-dimensional data. It is challenging to fit an appropriate model in the setting and many existing methods rely on a convenient class of models, called decomposable which lend well stepwise approach. However, these restrict pool candidate they can search, difficult scale. be shown non-decomposable ...

Management and measurement of risk is an important issue in almost all areas that require decisions to be made under uncertain information. Chance Constrained Programming (CCP) have been used for modelling and analysis of risks in a number of application domains. However, the resulting mathematical problems are non-trivial to represent using algebraic modelling languages and pose significant co...

under an intensive competitive environment, the construction industry is facing pressure to meet the higher customer expectations under a tighter budget. on the other hand, construction is one of the main sectors generating greenhouse gases. according to published statistics, construction industry is one of the most important resources of greenhouse emissions in the world. therefore, based on t...

Background: Regarding the importance of right diagnosis in medical applications, various methods have been exploited for processing medical images solar. The method of segmentation is used to analyze anal to miscall structures in medical imaging.Objective: This study describes a new method for brain Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) segmentation via a novel algorithm based on genetic and regiona...

The clustering problem under the criterion of minimum sum of squares is a non-convex and non-linear program, which possesses many locally optimal values, resulting that its solution often being stuck at locally optimal values and therefore cannot converge to global optima solution. In this paper, we introduce several new variation operators for the proposed hybrid genetic algorithm for the clus...

Abstract – This paper suggests the techniques in determining the values of the steady-state equivalent circuit parameters of a three-phase induction machine using genetic algorithm. The parameter estimation procedure is based on the steady-state phase current versus slip and input power versus slip characteristics. The propose estimation algorithm is of non-linear kind based on selection in gen...

A new performance and area optimization algorithm for complex VLSI systems is presented. It is widely believed within the VLSI CAD community that the relationship between delay and silicon area of a VLSI chip is convex. This conclusion is based on a simpliied linear RC model to predict gate delays. In the proposed optimization algorithm, a nonlinear, non-RC based transistor delay model was used...
