Boolean Function Evaluation Over a Sample
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of minimizing expected prediction cost, when there are costs associated with determining attribute values. Given a Boolean hypothesis function and a sample of this function, we seek to minimize the average prediction cost over the sample (Sample-BFE problem). We define and explore two different versions of this problem and show how existing work can be used to yield approximation algorithms for k-of-n and CDNF formulas.

Several fuzzy connectives, including those proposed by Lotfi Zadeh, can be seen as linear extensions of the Boolean connectives from the scale ${0,1}$ into the scale $[0,1]$. We discuss these extensions, in particular, we focus on the dualities arising from the Boolean dualities. These dualities allow to transfer the results from some particular class of extended Boolean functions, e.g., from c...

Information retrieval can be achieved through computerized processes by generating a list of relevant responses to a query. The document processor, matching function and query analyzer are the main components of an information retrieval system. Document retrieval system is fundamentally based on: Boolean, vector-space, probabilistic, and language models. In this paper, a new methodology for mat...

متن کاملExtension of Logic regression to Longitudinal data: Transition Logic Regression
Logic regression is a generalized regression and classification method that is able to make Boolean combinations as new predictive variables from the original binary variables. Logic regression was introduced for case control or cohort study with independent observations. Although in various studies, correlated observations occur due to different reasons, logic regression have not been studi...
