Recently, cost-based Autonomous Response System (ARS) proposals are based on intrusion detection analysis. However, the implementation of the analysis in multiclass classification-based ARS potentially leads to a wrong response action set decision. This is because the analysis may produces irrelevant response value, as it is not considering the false possibility in a true positive condition. In...

1. INTRODUCTION. It has become a truism, at least among statisticians, that while statistics is a mathematical science, it is not a subfield of mathematics. We even have apho-risms to express some ways in which our science differs from mathematics. George Box: " All models are wrong, but some are useful. " George Cobb: " In mathematics, context obscures structure. In data analysis, context prov...

Species identification is essentially a decision-making process comprising steps in which the user makes a selection of characters, figures or photographs, or provides an input, that restricts other choices, until reaching one species. In some identification methods such decisions should have a specific order. Consequently, a wrong decision at the beginning of the process, could exclude a big s...

In “Modern Moral Philosophy,” Anscombe argued that the moral vocabulary does not correspond to any concept in Aristotelian ethics, it derives from a confused response ethics of divine command, and is literally meaningless.
