This paper proposes a feature selection method that combines various feature selection techniques. Feature selection has been realized as one of the most important processes in various applications, especially pattern classification problems. When too many attributes are involved, training a machine to classify patterns into their respective classes is seemingly impossible. Hence, selecting goo...

We present a proof procedure that combines backward reasoning with logic programs and forward reasoning with integrity constraints. We illustrate the use of the proof procedure as the inference engine underlying agents. Roughly speaking, the backward reasoning component of the proof procedure is responsible for the deliberative behaviour of agents, whereas the forward reasoning component is res...

Finite perfect information extensive (FPIE) games are quite well-understood: backward induction yields all of the pure strategy subgame perfect equilibria of such games. Iterative elimination of weakly dominated strategies (IEWDS), which can be hazardous in general games due to orderdependence of outcomes, can be much better behaved. In fact, for a large class of FPIE games, the outcomes of IEW...

The growth factor plays an important role in the error analysis of Gaussian elimination. It is well known that when partial pivoting or complete pivoting is used the growth factor is usually small, but it can be large. The examples of large growth usually quoted involve contrived matrices that are unlikely to occur in practice. We present real and complex n n matrices arising from practical app...

Standard decision theory assumes that the choice set is given. In contrast, I develop a model called ‘extended elimination by aspects’ in which decision-makers discover and analyse alternatives sequentially and choose according to a boundedly rational procedure that is based on three heuristics: ‘satisficing’, lexicographic, and elimination by aspects. I show that the proposed choice procedure ...

Procedures are the basic units of compilation in traditional optimization frameworks. This presents problems to compilers targeting EPIC architectures, since the limited scope of a single procedure is usually insufficient for extracting ILP and identifying enough optimization opportunities. Although inlining can expand the scope of optimization routines, it is not applicable to all call sites a...

Given an acyclic digraph D, the phylogeny graph P (D) is defined to be the undirected graph with V (D) as its vertex set and with adjacencies as follows: two vertices x and y are adjacent if one of the arcs (x, y) or (y, x) is present in D, or if there exists another vertex z such that the arcs (x, z) and (y, z) are both present in D. Phylogeny graphs were introduced by Roberts and Sheng [6] fr...

Spoilage of sweet potato could be enormous when inadequate methods storage are used. This research investigated impact on spoilage in three major markets Plateau State Nigeria. Data for the study were obtained from sellers Yan Doya market, New market and Farin Gada through administration questionnaires. Analysis data was carried out using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlati...
