structural repetitive subsequences are most important portion of biological sequences, which play crucial roles on corresponding sequence’s fold and functionality. biggest class of the repetitive subsequences is “transposable elements” which has its own sub-classes upon contexts’ structures. many researches have been performed to criticality determine the structure and function of repetitive su...

recently, tuning the weights of the rules in fuzzy rule-base classification systems is researched in order to improve the accuracy of classification. in this paper, a margin-based optimization model, inspired by support vector machine classifiers, is proposed to compute these fuzzy rule weights. this approach not only  considers both accuracy and generalization criteria in a single objective fu...

A support vector machine (SVM) learns the decision surface from two distinct classes of the input points. In many applications, each input point may not be fully assigned to one of these two classes. In this paper, we apply a fuzzy membership to each input point and reformulate the SVMs such that different input points can make different contributions to the learning of decision surface. We cal...

background: prediction of interaction sites within the membrane protein complexes using the sequence data is of a great importance, because it would find applications in modification of molecules transport through membrane, signaling pathways and drug targets of many diseases. nevertheless, it has gained little attention from the protein structural bioinformatics community. methods: in this stu...

Since support vector machines for pattern classification are based on two-class classification problems, unclassifiable regions exist when extended to problems with more than two classes. In our previous work, to solve this problem, we developed fuzzy support vector machines for one-against-all and pairwise classifications, introducing membership functions. In this paper, for one-against-all cl...

in this paper a novel fuzzy scheme for medical x-ray image classification is presented. in this method, any image is partitioned in to 25 overlapping subimages and then shape-texture features are extracted from shape and directional information extracted from any subimage. in the classification stage, we apply a fuzzy membership to any subimage with respect to euclidean distance between feature...

various statistical methods have been proposed in terms of predicting the outcomes of facing special factors. in the classical approaches,  making the probability distribution or known probability density functions is ordinarily necessary to predict the desired outcome. however, most of the times enough information about the probability distribution of studied variables is not available to the ...
