Equivalence: A Novel Basis for Model Analysis

نویسنده

چکیده

As cognitive models are developed that are meant to apply to a broad range of phenomena, it is necessary to evaluate how successfully they do so. This is commonly done by measures such as the Mean Squared Error. We propose and demonstrate an alternate approach based on a measure of statistical equivalence. Instead of using sample means, this method uses confidence intervals, and places an upper bound on how wrong the model may be, given the uncertainties in the data. We apply this to the RELACS model in various different repeated binary choice tasks. We show that the equivalence measure identifies ranges of canonical parameter settings that are equally equivalent. It also identifies experimental conditions that are not yet modelled well.

Novel Radial Basis Function Neural Networks based on Probabilistic Evolutionary and Gaussian Mixture Model for Satellites Optimum Selection

In this study, two novel learning algorithms have been applied on Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) to approximate the functions with high non-linear order. The Probabilistic Evolutionary (PE) and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) techniques are proposed to significantly minimize the error functions. The main idea is concerning the various strategies to optimize the procedure of Gradient ...

Development of a novel lot sizing model with variable lead time in supply chain environment

Supply chain management (SCM) addresses the management of materials and information across the entire chain from suppliers to producers, distributors, retailers, and customer. The theory of supply chain management suggests that lead time reduction is a pioneer to the use of market mediation to reduce transaction uncertainty in the chain, which can be conceptualized as the primary goal of supply...

Recovery of oil products in Iran by substitution and production effects: A two-stage approach in the form of a general equivalence model

In the energy economics literature, one of the most important approaches to managing energy demand is to improve energy efficiency, which is associated with a concept called a rebound effect. The rebound effect causes the energy saving (due to improved efficiency) to be less than expected. Considering the importance of using oil products in the Iranian economy, the present paper tries to track ...

Optimal intelligent control for glucose regulation

This paper introduces a novel control methodology based on fuzzy controller for a glucose-insulin regulatory system of type I diabetes patient. First, in order to incorporate knowledge about patient treatment, a fuzzy logic controller is employed for regulating the gains of the basis Proportional-Integral (PI) as a self-tuning controller. Then, to overcome the key drawback of fuzzy logic contro...
