An Efficient Predictive Model for Probability of Genetic Diseases Transmission Using a Combined Model

In this article, a new combined approach of a decision tree and clustering is presented to predict the transmission of genetic diseases. In this article, the performance of these algorithms is compared for more accurate prediction of disease transmission under the same condition and based on a series of measures like the positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy, sensitivit...

Consolidated Technique of Response Surface Methodology and Data Envelopment Analysis for setting the parameters of meta-heuristic algorithms - Case study: Production Scheduling Problem

    In this study, given the sequence dependent setup times, we attempt using the technique of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to set the parameters of the genetic algorithm (GA), which is used to optimize the scheduling problem of n job on 1 machine (n/1). It aims at finding the most suitable parameters for increasing the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. At first, a central composite d...

Economic Design of T2 −V SSC Chart Using Genetic Algorithms

The principal function of a control chart is to help management distinguish different sources of variation in a process. Control charts are widely used as a graphical tool to monitor a process in order to improve the quality of the product. Chen and Hsieh (2007) have designed a T2 control chart using a Variable Sampling Size and Control limits (V SSC) scheme. They have shown that using the V SSC...

Using Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms for Modelling and Multi-objective Optimal Heat Exchange through a Tube Bank

In this study, by using a multi-objective optimization technique, the optimal design points of forced convective heat transfer in tubular arrangements were predicted upon the size, pitch and geometric configurations of a tube bank. In this way, the main concern of the study is focused on calculating the most favorable geometric characters which may gain to a maximum heat exchange as well as a m...
