A TEST FOR COPE'S RULE

A Fast Randomisation Test for Rule Significance

Randomisation is a method to test the statistical significance of a symbolic rule; it is, however, very expensive. In this paper we present a sequential randomisation test which dramatically reduces the number of steps needed for a conclusion.

Context-based Semantic Annotations in Copes: an Ontological and Rule-based Approach

Knowledge capitalization is one of many problems facing online communities of practice (CoPs). Knowledge accumulated through the participation in the community must be capitalized for future reuse. Most of proposals are specific and focus on knowledge modeling disregarding the reuse of that knowledge. In this paper, we are particularly interested on CoPs of e-learning (CoPEs) and we propose a k...

A Margin-based Model with a Fast Local Searchnewline for Rule Weighting and Reduction in Fuzzynewline Rule-based Classification Systems

Fuzzy Rule-Based Classification Systems (FRBCS) are highly investigated by researchers due to their noise-stability and  interpretability. Unfortunately, generating a rule-base which is sufficiently both accurate and interpretable, is a hard process. Rule weighting is one of the approaches to improve the accuracy of a pre-generated rule-base without modifying the original rules. Most of the pro...

A New Mixing Rule for Mixtures of Hard Spheres

A mixing rule for the mixtures of hard-spheres is presented which can be reduced to the standard van der Waals mixing rule at low densities. The effectiveness of the mixing rule for the size and energy parameters of lennard-Jones fluid are examined by combining them with an equation of state to calculate thermodynamic properties. The results of calculation are compared with the molecular dy...
