چکیده

The selection of a proper auditor is driven by several factors. Here, we use three data mining classification techniques to predict the auditor choice. The methods used are Decision Trees, Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines. The developed models are compared in term of their performances. The wrapper feature selection technique is used for the Decision Tree model. Two models reveal that the level of debt is a factor that influences the auditor choice decision. This study has implications for auditors, investors, company decision makers and researchers.

Application of Artificial Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines for carbonate pores size estimation from 3D seismic data

This paper proposes a method for the prediction of pore size values in hydrocarbon reservoirs using 3D seismic data. To this end, an actual carbonate oil field in the south-western part ofIranwas selected. Taking real geological conditions into account, different models of reservoir were constructed for a range of viable pore size values.  Seismic surveying was performed next on these models. F...

Support vector machines for spam categorization

We study the use of support vector machines (SVM's) in classifying e-mail as spam or nonspam by comparing it to three other classification algorithms: Ripper, Rocchio, and boosting decision trees. These four algorithms were tested on two different data sets: one data set where the number of features were constrained to the 1000 best features and another data set where the dimensionality was ove...
