چکیده

Consumer Price Index (CPI) of a particular region is primarily calculated through aggregation of individual household observations. This aggregation is done following two schemes, plutocratic and democratic. While both of them are useful for certain purposes, none of them actually give proper attention to poor households. In this study, we have shown that weighting scheme with certain mathematical characteristics can actually produce CPI, which can represent poor households better and thus can be more useful for development-oriented policymaking.

A Novel Scheme for Improving Accuracy of KNN Classification Algorithm Based on the New Weighting Technique and Stepwise Feature Selection

K nearest neighbor algorithm is one of the most frequently used techniques in data mining for its integrity and performance. Though the KNN algorithm is highly effective in many cases, it has some essential deficiencies, which affects the classification accuracy of the algorithm. First, the effectiveness of the algorithm is affected by redundant and irrelevant features. Furthermore, this algori...

Activity Recognition Based on a Multi-sensor Meta-classifier

Ensuring ubiquity, robustness and continuity of monitoring is of key importance in activity recognition. To that end, multiple sensor configurations and fusion techniques are ever more used. In this paper we present a multi-sensor meta-classifier that aggregates the knowledge of several sensor-based decision entities to provide a unique and reliable activity classification. This model introduce...

Generalized mixture operators using weighting functions: A comparative study with WA and OWA

In the context of multiple attribute decision making, we present an aggregation scheme based on generalized mixture operators using weighting functions and we compare it with two standard aggregation methods: weighted averaging (WA) and ordered weighted averaging (OWA). Specifically, we consider linear and quadratic weight generating functions that penalize bad attribute performances and reward...
