nowadays, managing the relations between customers is a fundamental necessity in activities leading to the promotion in the chain of an organization. in fact, customers satisfaction and quality of services are considered as the vital issues in most industries and services. after-sales services will also become more important in near future in iran and the survival of domestic automobile industr...

In fitting the process-dissociation model (L. L. Jacoby, 1991) to observed data, researchers aggregate outcomes across participant, items, or both. T. Curran and D. L. Hintzman (1995) demonstrated how biases from aggregation may lead to artifactual support for the model. The authors develop a hierarchical process-dissociation model that does not require aggregation for analysis. Most importantl...

In this work, we focus on the analysis of process schemas in order to extract common substructures. In particular, we represent processes as graphs, and we apply a graph-based hierarchical clustering technique to group similar sub-processes together at different levels of abstraction. We discuss different representation choices of process schemas that lead to different outcomes.

We consider the problem for which K different types of data are collected to characterize an associated inference task, with this performed for M distinct tasks. It is assumed that the parameters associated with the model for data type (modality) k may be represented in the form of a mixture model, with the M tasks representing M draws from the mixture. We wish to simultaneously infer mixture m...

Machine Learning techniques have been used quite widely for the task of predicting cognitive processes from fMRI data. However, these models do not describe well the fMRI signal when it is generated by multiple cognitive processes that are simultaneously active. In this paper we consider the problem of accurately modeling the fMRI signal of a human subject who is performing a task involving mul...

Eden is a parallel functional language which extends Haskell with new expressions to define and instantiate processes. These extensions allow the easy definition of parallel process topologies as higher order functions. Unfortunately, by only using process abstractions and instantiations it is not possible to implement non-hierarchical topologies, as processes can only communicate with its pare...

using analytical hierarchical process (ahp), this research was done with aim of prioritizing alternatives and criteria of integrating entrepreneurship education in higher agricultural education. at first, respecting these alternatives and criteria, a three-level decision making tree was outlined. required data was collected through pair wise comparison through 27 questionnaires filled by sample...
