This study is aimed to propose a prediction method of election results using discrimination of non-respondents. CHAID algorithm is used for the purpose. We use the 1997 Korea presidential election forecasting survey data for the example.

In this paper we extend the practical range of simulations of parallel executions by what we call \func-tional algorithm simulation," that is, simulation without actually performing most of the numerical computations involved. We achieve this by introducing a new approach for generating and collecting communication and computation characteristics for a class of parallel scientiic algorithms. We...

It is desirable for a parser to be able to extend a phrase even after it has been combined into a larger syntactic unit. This paper presents an algorithm that does this in two ways, one dealing with "right extension" and the other with "left recursion". A brief comparison with other parsing algorithms shows it to be related to the left corner parsing algorithm, but it is more flexible in the or...

The BFGS method is one of the most famous quasi-Newton algorithms for unconstrained optimization. In 1984, Powell presented an example of a function of two variables that shows that the Polak–Ribière–Polyak (PRP) conjugate gradient method and the BFGS quasi-Newton method may cycle around eight nonstationary points if each line search picks a local minimum that provides a reduction in the object...

Cuvinte cheie. Managementul cozilor de aşteptare, filtru median, probabilitate de rejectare, întârziere. Rezumat. Articolul evaluază performanţele unui algoritm RED (random early detection) modificat care utilizează un filtru median în locul unui filtru liniar pentru calculul probabilităţii de rejectare a pachetelor. Simulările ilustrează faptul că performanţa reţelei creşte prin utilizarea fil...

In this paper we discuss layout generation of on-chip matched capacitors with accurate capacitance ratios. Capacitor sizing and placement suitable for design of error insensitive capacitance ratios are discussed including a proposed algoritm for common-centriod placement. Also, a regular layout structure is proposed that is suitable for implementation of capacitors with well matched capacitance...

The rapid growing of information technology (IT) motivates and makes competitive advantages in health care industry. Nowadays, many hospitals try to build a successful customer relationship management (CRM) to recognize target and potential patients, increase patient loyalty and satisfaction and finally maximize their profitability. Many hospitals have large data warehouses containing customer ...

Previous algoritms for the construction of belief networks structures from data are mainly based either on independence criteria or on scoring metrics. The aim of this paper is to present a hybrid methodology that is a combination of these two approaches, which benefits from characteristics of each one, and to introduce an operative algoritm based on this methodology. We dedicate a special atte...

this paper considers the generation of some interpretable fuzzy rules for assigning an amino acid sequence into the appropriate protein superfamily. since the main objective of this classifier is the interpretability of rules, we have used the distribution of amino acids in the sequences of proteins as features. these features are the occurrence probabilities of six exchange groups in the seque...
