This paper describes a real application proven web mining approach. The approach performs with integrated data comprised of web logs and customer information involved in e-commerce web sites. The objective is to acquire behavior patterns of visitors on web sites. The mining tasks include the customer clustering, association rules among the web pages of visitor traffic, buying patterns of custom...

Previous research has demonstrated an increased rate of clinical coronary heart disease (CHD) events among people who exhibit a "coronary prone" (Type A) behavior pattern. This study was undertaken to determine whether the association between behavior pattern Type A and CHD might be extended beyond clinical CHD events to include also the coronary atherosclerotic process. In addition to usual cl...

Mining the underlying patterns in gigantic and complex data is of great importance to data analysts. In this paper, we propose a motion pattern approach to mine frequent behaviors in trajectory data. Motion patterns, defined by a set of highly similar flow vector groups in a spatial locality, have been shown to be very effective in extracting dominant motion behaviors in video sequences. Inspir...

Abstract: Previous analyses of pattern search algorithms for unconstrained and linearly constrained minimization have focused on proving convergence of a subsequence of iterates to a limit point satisfying either directional or first-order necessary conditions for optimality, depending on the smoothness of the objective function in a neighborhood of the limit point. Even though pattern search m...

The behavior pattern and the situation. — The paper refers to four standpoints which may he employed in the investigation of behavior problems: (1) the attitudes, (2) the values, (3) the forms of adaptation, (4) the total situation, and indicates the interaction of these factors in any concrete process. The situational procedure is emphasized and illustrated from the fields of child study, psyc...

We propose a research plan to further the understanding of design pattern evolution. Current research into design pattern evolution focuses on the structural elements of decay, which is realized as structural grime. We plan to expand the current state of research by introducing the notion of behavioral grime, or unwanted artifacts that appear at run-time in a pattern. This form of grime may be ...

Language change has recently come to be seen as a complex dynamical system, along the lines of evolutionary biology and economics, as opposed to previous conceptions as a linear or cyclical system. We model the change of a particular phenomenon, vowel harmony, and look at the conditions under which the trajectory of change matches theoretical and empirical predictions. Our experimental work sho...

In this study, constant-ductility optimization algorithm under a family of earthquake ground motions is utilized to achieve uniform damage distribution over the height of steel moment resisting frames (SMRFs). SMRF structures with stiffness-degrading hysteric behavior are modeled as single-bay generic frame in which the plastic hinge is confined only at the beam ends and the bottom of the first...
