Robust Design and Reliability-based Design Optimization

A large number of problems in manufacturing processes, production planning, finance and engineering design require an understanding of potential sources of variations and quantification of the effect of variations on product behavior and performance. Traditionally, in engineering problems uncertainties have been formulated only through coarse safety factors. Such methods often lead to overdesig...

Robust and Reliability-Based Design

The idea behind this special supplement came out of discussions with the Editor, Dr. Michael McCarthy, about the need to present some recent advances in the area of risk-based and robust design. We felt, and still feel, that there is an ever increasing need to design mechanical and structural systems that are risk tolerant and robust. It was our belief that it would be useful if, by way of a de...

Robust Ensemble Learning for Data

Classifier Ensemble Framework: a Diversity Based Approach

Pattern recognition systems are widely used in a host of different fields. Due to some reasons such as lack of knowledge about a method based on which the best classifier is detected for any arbitrary problem, and thanks to significant improvement in accuracy, researchers turn to ensemble methods in almost every task of pattern recognition. Classification as a major task in pattern recognition,...
