Municipal Rating System—A Municipality Compliance Index

Municipal credit rating modelling by neural networks

The functional rating index.

The Functional Rating Index (FRI) (Feise and Michael Menke 2001) is a 10-item region-specific Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) measure developed by combining the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). It is designed to reflect status for disorders that involve several or any spine area as a single kinetic chain. The 10 FRI items fall within four constructs – pain, sleep,...

Sherborn's influence on Systema Dipterorum.

Flies make up more than 10% of the planetary biota and our well-being depends on how we manage our coexistence with flies. Storing and accessing relevant knowledge about flies is intimately connected with using correct names, and Systema Dipterorum provides a single authoritative classification for flies developed by consensus among contributors. The 160,000 species of flies currently known are...

Modelling Municipal Rating by Cluster Analysis and Neural Networks

The paper presents the design of the parameters for long-term municipal rating. Modelling of the rating is realized by means of unsupervised methods, because the rating classes are not known a priori. The model design based on statistical methods (neural networks) is represented by cluster analysis (self-organizing feature maps). Key-Words: Credit risk, rating, unsupervised learning, cluster an...

Using life cycle assessment for municipal solid waste management in Tehran Municipality Region 20

Background: Due to the lack of a proper waste management system, Tehran Municipality Region 20 is facing economic and environmental problems such as the high costs of a disposal system and source pollution. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method for collecting and evaluating the inputs, outputs, and potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle. The current stud...
