Extended MULTIMOORA method based on Shannon entropy weight for materials selection
Selection of appropriate material is a crucial step in engineering design and manufacturing process. Without a systematic technique, many useful engineering materials may be ignored for selection. The category of multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) methods is an effective set of structured techniques. Having uncomplicated assumptions and mathematics, the MULTIMOORA method as an MADM appro...
متن کاملNetwork transfer entropy and metric space for causality inference.
A measure is derived to quantify directed information transfer between pairs of vertices in a weighted network, over paths of a specified maximal length. Our approach employs a general, probabilistic model of network traffic, from which the informational distance between dynamics on two weighted networks can be naturally expressed as a Jensen Shannon divergence. Our network transfer entropy mea...
متن کاملBayesian Inference Featuring Entropic Priors
The subject of this work is the parametric inference problem, i.e. how to infer from data on the parameters of the data likelihood of a random process whose parametric form is known a priori. The assumption that Bayes’ theorem has to be used to add new data samples reduces the problem to the question of how to specify a prior before having seen any data. For this subproblem three theorems are s...
متن کاملEstimating Potency in High-Throughput Screening Experiments by Maximizing the Rate of Change in Weighted Shannon Entropy
High-throughput in vitro screening experiments can be used to generate concentration-response data for large chemical libraries. It is often desirable to estimate the concentration needed to achieve a particular effect, or potency, for each chemical tested in an assay. Potency estimates can be used to directly compare chemical profiles and prioritize compounds for confirmation studies, or emplo...
متن کاملStructure Inference of Bayesian Networks from Data: A New Approach Based on Generalized Conditional Entropy
We propose a novel algorithm for extracting the structure of a Bayesian network from a dataset. Our approach is based on generalized conditional entropies, a parametric family of entropies that extends the usual Shannon conditional entropy. Our results indicate that with an appropriate choice of a generalized conditional entropy we obtain Bayesian networks that have superior scores compared to ...
