Abstract. In this article, we report on sixth-order and seventh-order iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations. In particular sixth-order derivative-based and derivative-free iterative families are constructed in such a way that they comprise a wide class of sixth-order methods which were developed in the past years. Weighting functions are introduced to enhance the algorithmic efficie...

It is possible to use different methods to weight National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Typically when weighting NHANES data we use a weighting class approach of predefined cells based on a limited number of variables. However, there are model based alternatives that allow for more flexibility in calculating the statistical weights. This flexibility is important becaus...

The text classification problem for natural language call routing was considered in the paper. Seven different term weighting methods were applied. As dimensionality reduction methods, the feature selection based on self-adaptive GA is considered. k-NN, linear SVM and ANN were used as classification algorithms. The tasks of the research are the following: perform research of text classification...

In order to achieve relevant scholarly information from the biomedical databases, researchers generally use technical terms as queries such as proteins, genes, diseases, and other biomedical descriptors. However, the technical terms have limits as query terms because there are so many indirect and conceptual expressions denoting them in scientific literatures. Combinatorial weighting schemes ar...

A new method called ‘‘edge-preserving 8-directional two-layered weighting interpolation’’ is proposed for interpolating unfilled pixels in a perspective-view or panoramic image resulting from unwarping an omni-image taken by a non-single-view-point hypercatadioptric camera. This method can solve the problem of edge preserving in interpolating the input image which has many irregularly-distribut...

OBJECTIVE Methods exist to appropriately perform association analyses in pedigrees. However, for genome-wide association analysis, these methods are computationally impractical. It is therefore important to determine alternate methods that can be efficiently used genome-wide. Here, we introduce a new algorithm that considers all relationships simultaneously in arbitrary-structured pedigrees and...

Approaches for solving the timing-driven placement problem have traditionally been either net-based or path-based; see, e.g., [7] for an overview. Net weighting methods, which fall in the latter category, have been a popular tool in analytical placers [16, 8, 9] for handling timing-driven placement. They enjoy a number of advantages, including very low computational complexity, high flexibility...

In the realm of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems, selection a weighting method holds critical role. Researchers from diverse fields have consistently employed MCDM techniques, utilizing both traditional and novel methods to enhance discipline. Acknowledging significance staying abreast such methodological developments, this study endeavors contribute field through comprehensive re...
