چکیده

Evolution means different things at different stages of development. Higher stage explanations for it are downward assimilated at lower stages. Different scientific explanations for evolution also reflect different stages of development. Hierarchical complexity of tasks in evolution is a behavioral analytic explanation. It is selection processes of various kinds in tandem with changes in selection tasks’ orders of hierarchical complexity. There is neither teleology nor evolutionary favoring of the highest stages of performance. Selection tasks at higher orders of complexity increasingly decenter at all scales of behaviors from thought to history’s social periods. These processes account for sociopolitical conflicts over evolution.

Graph Clustering by Hierarchical Singular Value Decomposition with Selectable Range for Number of Clusters Members

Graphs have so many applications in real world problems. When we deal with huge volume of data, analyzing data is difficult or sometimes impossible. In big data problems, clustering data is a useful tool for data analysis. Singular value decomposition(SVD) is one of the best algorithms for clustering graph but we do not have any choice to select the number of clusters and the number of members ...
