A Game Theoretic Neighbourhood-Based Relevance Index

چکیده
Centrality measures are used in network analysis to identify the relevant elements in a network. Recently, several centrality measures based on coalitional game theory have been successfully applied to different kinds of biological networks, such as brain networks, gene networks, and metabolic networks. We propose an approach, using coalitional games, to the problem of identifying relevant genes in a biological network. Our model generalizes the notion of degree centrality, whose correlationwith the relevance of genes for different biological functions is supported by several practical evidences in the literature. The new relevance index we propose is characterized by a set of axioms defined on gene networks and a formula for its computation is provided. Furthermore, an application to the analysis of a large co-expression network is shortly presented.

NGTSOM: A Novel Data Clustering Algorithm Based on Game Theoretic and Self- Organizing Map
Identifying clusters is an important aspect of data analysis. This paper proposes a noveldata clustering algorithm to increase the clustering accuracy. A novel game theoretic self-organizingmap (NGTSOM ) and neural gas (NG) are used in combination with Competitive Hebbian Learning(CHL) to improve the quality of the map and provide a better vector quantization (VQ) for clusteringdata. Different ...
متن کاملA Game Theoretic Approach for Sustainable Power Systems Planning in Transition
Intensified industrialization in developing countries has recently resulted in huge electric power demand growth; however, electricity generation in these countries is still heavily reliant on inefficient and traditional non-renewable technologies. In this paper, we develop an integrated game-theoretic model for effective power systems planning thorough balancing between supply and demand for e...
متن کاملGame-Theoretic Approach for Pricing Decisions in Dual-Channel Supply Chain
In the current study, a dual-channel supply chain is considered containing one manufacturer and two retailers. It is assumed that the manufacturer and retailers have the same decision powers. A game-theoretic approach is developed to analyze pricing decisions under the centralized and decentralized scenarios. First, the Nash model is established to obtain the equilibrium decisions in the decent...

In this study, the social welfare impacts of the interaction of Iranian rice import policies and Thai export policies are analyzed using a game theoretic approach in conjunction with econometric supply and demand models. The joint impacts of increasing the world price of rice, resulting from the export policies in Thailand along with changes in tariff rates in Iran, on social welfare are analyz...
متن کاملCoordinating a decentralized supply chain with a stochastic demand using quantity flexibility contract: a game-theoretic approach
Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...
