In Dempster–Shafer evidence theory (DST) based classifier design, Dempster’s combination (DC) rule is commonly used as a multi-attribute classifier to combine evidence collected from different attributes. The main aim of this paper is to present a classification method using a novel combination rule i.e., the evidence reasoning (ER) rule. As an improvement of the DC rule, the newly proposed ER ...

In this study, an on-line tuning method is proposed for fuzzy PID controllers via rule weighing. The rule weighing mechanism is a fuzzy rule base with two inputs namely; ‘‘error’’ and ‘‘normalized acceleration’’. Here, the normalized acceleration provides relative information on the fastness or slowness of the system response. In deriving the fuzzy rules of the weighing mechanism, the transient...

A form of Gauss-Quadrature rule over [0,1] has been investigated that involves the derivative of the integrand at the pre-assigned left or right end node. This situation arises when the underlying polynomials are orthogonal with respect to the weight function (): 1 x x ω = − over [0,1]. Along the lines of Golub's work, the nodes and weights of the quadrature rule are computed from a Jacobi-type...

ABSTRACT In the present paper, an effort has been made to compare and analyze the performance for pattern recalling with conventional hebbian learning rule and with evolutionary algorithm in Hopfield Model of feedback Neural Networks. A set of ten objects has been considered as the pattern set. In the Hopfield type of neural networks of associative memory, the weighted code of input patterns pr...

Abstract Institutions can be strong or weak. But what does this mean? Equilibrium theories equate institutions with behavioural regularities. In contrast, rule explicate them in terms of a standard that people are supposed to meet. I propose that, when an institution is weak, discrepancy exists between the regularity and rule. To capture discrepancy, present hybrid theory, Rules-and-Equilibria ...

Introduction The balance scale task has become a benchmark task in cognitive developmental psychology. Development on the balance scale task is characterized as a progression through a series of increasingly complex rules (Rule I, II, III, IV). Children using Rule IV understand the multiplicative relation between the two task features, weight and distance information of blocks placed at both si...

A detailed calculation of the real part of the finite temperature dynamic susceptibility of the free Bose gas is presented. After a short discussion on the different ways in which it can be calculated for temperatures above and below the Bose–Einstein transition temperature, its main properties and its evolution with q and T are analyzed. Finally, expressions for the lowest order energy weighte...

We give a new formula for the branching rule from ${\rm GL}_n$ to O}_n$ generalizing Littlewood's restriction formula. The is given in terms of Littlewood-Richardson tableaux with certain flag conditions which vanish stable range. As an application, we combinatorial Lusztig $t$-weight multiplicity $K_{\mu 0}(t)$ type $B_n$ and $D_n$ highest weight $\mu$ $0$.

The objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of 10% body mass reduction on simulated taekwondo match performance. Thirty-one male taekwondo athletes were randomly distributed in two groups: weight loss group (n= 15) - athletes in this group reduced 5% body mass per week during two successive weeks, totaling 10% body mass reduction; control group (n= 16) - athletes in this group ...
