We describe a polynomial network technique developed for learning to classify clinical electroencephalograms (EEGs) presented by noisy features. Using an evolutionary strategy implemented within Group Method of Data Handling, we learn classification models which are comprehensively described by sets of short-term polynomials. The polynomial models were learnt to classify the EEGs recorded from ...

this paper compared the efficacy of these two methods on retention, understanding and problem solving in the biology keeping in the mind the fact that student's learning style has a role as a moderator variable. the intervening effects on retention, understanding and problem solving were measured by two academic achievement tests that those have the confirmable validity and reliability indexes....
