Commonly used GIS combination operators such as Boolean conjunction/disjunction and weighted linear combination can be generalized to the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) family of operators. This multicriteria evaluation method allows decision-makers to define a decision strategy on a continuum between pessimistic and optimistic strategies. Recently, OWA has been introduced to GIS-based decisi...

The County of Khorram-Abad enjoys a high potential for ecotourism because of its mountains, forests, natural mineral springs, natural waterfalls and diversity in folks and cultures. But, un-planned and uncontrolled ecotourism can have negative effects on environment, economy, culture and even the security of eco-tourists. The main purpose of this study is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decis...

Abstract. Sparse sums of Lorentzians can give good approximations to functions consisting of linear combination of piecewise continuous functions. To each Lorentzian, two parameters are assigned: translation and scale. These parameters can be found by using a method for complex frequency detection in the frequency domain. This method is based on an alternating projection scheme between Hankel m...

An ensemble of multiple classifiers is widely considered to be an effective technique for improving accuracy and stability of a single classifier. This paper proposes a framework of sparse ensembles and deals with new linear weighted combination methods for sparse ensembles. Sparse ensemble is to sparsely combine the outputs of multiple classifiers by using a sparse weight vector. When the cont...

in this article, we characterize the involutiveness of the linear combination of the forma1a1 +a2a2 when a1, a2 are nonzero complex numbers, a1 is a quadratic or tripotent matrix,and a2 is arbitrary, under certain properties imposed on a1 and a2.

We test hypotheses concerning human cue combination in a slant estimation task. Observers repeatedly adjusted the slant of a plane to 75 degrees. Feedback was provided after each setting and the observers trained extensively until their setting error stabilized. The slant of the plane was defined by either linear perspective alone (a grid of lines) or texture gradient alone (diamond-shaped text...
