A New Cluster Isolation Criterion Based on Dissimilarity Increments

This paper addresses the problem of cluster defining criteria by proposing a model-based characterization of interpattern relationships. Taking a dissimilarity matrix between patterns as the basic measure for extracting group structure, dissimilarity increments between neighboring patterns within a cluster are analyzed. Empirical evidence suggests modeling the statistical distribution of these ...

A Novel Data Representation Based on Dissimilarity Increments

task-based language teaching in iran: a mixed study through constructing and validating a new questionnaire based on theoretical, sociocultural, and educational frameworks

جنبه های گوناگونی از زندگی در ایران را از جمله سبک زندگی، علم و امکانات فنی و تکنولوژیکی می توان کم یا بیش وارداتی در نظر گرفت. زبان انگلیسی و روش تدریس آن نیز از این قاعده مثتسنی نیست. با این حال گاهی سوال پیش می آید که آیا یک روش خاص با زیر ساخت های نظری، فرهنگی اجتماعی و آموزشی جامعه ایرانی سازگاری دارد یا خیر. این تحقیق بر اساس روش های ترکیبی انجام شده است.پرسش نامه ای نیز برای زبان آموزان ...

A New Asymmetric Criterion for Cluster Validation

In this paper a new criterion for clusters validation is proposed. Many stability measures to validate a cluster have been proposed such as Normalized Mutual Information. We propose a new criterion for clusters validation. The drawback of the common approach is discussed in this paper and then a new asymmetric criterion is proposed to assess the association between a cluster and a partition whi...

Cluster increments for macropolyhedral boranes.

Cluster increments derived for individual cluster fragments reproduce the DFT computed relative stabilities of macropolyhedral boranes usually within +/-6 kcal mol(-1). A simple summation procedure helps to select the best partner for a given cluster fragment in order to construct the thermodynamically most stable macropolyhedral borane. Cluster increments are considerably smaller for nido-clus...
