The selection of the best irrigation system is examined in the multiobjective context for a case study of Sri Ram Sagar Project, Andhra Pradesh, India. Eight performance criteria, on farm development works, environmental impact, supply of inputs, conjunctive use of water resources, productivity, farmers' participation, economic impact and social impact are evaluated for thirteen irrigation syst...

In fMRI, time courses with similar temporal "activation" patterns may belong to different brain regions (i.e., these regions are functionally connected, coactivated). A group of time courses (TCs) corresponding to a particular type of temporal activation pattern should be maximally self-consistent (homogeneous). We demonstrate that ordering a group of multidimensional fMRI time courses by a min...

It is significant to assign reputation scores users and identify spammers in the bipartite rating networks. In this paper, we propose an Iterative Group-based Difference Ranking (IGDR) method, which based on original (IGR) method. The IGR method considers grouping behaviors, but it ignores characteristics of individual ratings. discovered that could also contribute redistribution users. user wi...

One-class collaborative filtering or collaborative ranking with implicit feedback has been steadily receiving more attention, mostly due to the “oneclass” characteristics of data in various services, e.g., “like” in Facebook and “bought” in Amazon. Previous works for solving this problem include pointwise regression methods based on absolute rating assumptions and pairwise ranking methods with ...

Abstract. We consider the classic problem of establishing a statistical ranking of a set of n items given a set of inconsistent and incomplete pairwise comparisons between such items. Instantiations of this problem occur in numerous applications in data analysis (e.g., ranking teams in sports data), computer vision, and machine learning. We formulate the above problem of ranking with incomplete...
