Midlife women's symptom cluster heuristics

Menopause Knowledge, Attitude, Symptom and Management among Midlife Employed Women

OBJECTIVES Midlife women's knowledge, positive attitudes and management toward menopause may improve the quality of peri and post-menopause life. This study was to identify correlations of the knowledge, attitude, symptoms and management toward menopause in middle-aged women. METHODS We used a cross-sectional questionnaire study applying to 231 perimenopausal and menopausal women aged from 40...

Diversifying Heuristics for Cluster Ensembles

Cluster ensembles are deemed to be better than single clustering algorithms for discovering complex or noisy structures in data. We consider different heuristics to introduce diversity in cluster ensembles and study their individual and combined effect on the ensemble accuracy. Our experiments with three artificial and three real data sets, and 12 ensemble types, showed that the most successful...

Selecting Diversifying Heuristics for Cluster Ensembles

Cluster ensembles are deemed to be better than single clustering algorithms for discovering complex or noisy structures in data. Various heuristics for constructing such ensembles have been examined in the literature, e.g., random feature selection, weak clusterers, random projections, etc. Typically, one heuristic is picked at a time to construct the ensemble. To increase diversity of the ense...

Cluster-Specific Heuristics for Constraint Solving

In Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP), variable ordering heuristics help to increase efficiency. Applying an appropriate heuristic can increase the performance of CSP solvers. On the other hand, if we apply specific heuristics for similar CSPs, CSP solver performance could be further improved. Similar CSPs can be grouped into same clusters. For each cluster, appropriate heuristics can be fo...
