Selective Value Difference Metric

چکیده
Value Difference Metric (VDM) is one of the widely used distance functions to define the distance between a pair of instances with nominal attributes only. Many approaches have been proposed to improve the performance of VDM. In this paper, we focus on the attribute selection approach and propose another improved Value Difference Metric. We call it Selective Value Difference Metric (SVDM). In order to learn SVDM, we investigate the attribute independence assumption held by VDM and then single out two effective attribute selection methods for SVDM. The experimental results on 36 UCI benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed SVDM.

Solutions of initial and boundary value problems via F-contraction mappings in metric-like space
We present sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of second-order two-point boundary value and fractional order functional differential equation problems in a space where self distance is not necessarily zero. For this, first we introduce a Ciric type generalized F-contraction and F- Suzuki contraction in a metric-like space and give relevance to fixed point results. To illustrate...
متن کاملK Nearest Neighbor Classification with Local Induction of the Simple Value Difference Metric
The classical k nearest neighbor (k-nn) classification assumes that a fixed global metric is defined and searching for nearest neighbors is always based on this global metric. In the paper we present a model with local induction of a metric. Any test object induces a local metric from the neighborhood of this object and selects k nearest neighbors according to this locally induced metric. To in...
متن کاملThe mean value of the squared path-difference distance for rooted phylogenetic trees
The path-difference metric is one of the oldest distances for the comparison of fully resolved phylogenetic trees, but its statistical properties are still quite unknown. In this paper we compute the mean value of the square of the path-difference metric between two fully resolved rooted phylogenetic trees with n leaves, under the uniform distribution. This complements previous work by Steel an...
متن کاملImproved Heterogeneous Distance Functions
Instance-based learning techniques typically handle continuous and linear input values well, but often do not handle nominal input attributes appropriately. The Value Difference Metric (VDM) was designed to find reasonable distance values between nominal attribute values, but it largely ignores continuous attributes, requiring discretization to map continuous values into nominal values. This pa...
متن کاملEffect of Donepezil on Cognitive Disorders Due to the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors in the Patients with Major Depressive Disorder
Introduction: Many factors cause cognitive impairment, including medication, such as selective serotonine reuptake inhibitor drugs use. On the other hand, many drugs are used in cognitive impairment therapy, including donepezil, which act by inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme and increase brain acetylcholine. Methods: This study was a double-blind controlled randomized controlled clinical tr...
