In this study, a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) is utilized to extract interpretable and compact fuzzy rule bases for modeling nonlinear Multi-input Multi-output (MIMO) systems. In the process of non- linear system identi cation, structure selection, parameter estimation, model performance and model validation are important objectives. Furthermore, se- curing low-level and high-level ...

nitrogen components of yoghurt milk samples and resulting probiotic set yoghurt weredetermined. analyses included total nitrogen (tn), non-casein nitrogen (ncn), non-proteinnitrogen (npn), casein nitrogen (cn) and proteolysis index (pi). yoghurt samples wereanalyzed 1, 7, 14 and 21days after production and storage at 5±1°c. tn, cn and pi contentsof yoghurt milk samples with high somatic cell sc...

Tri-level optimization problems are optimization problems with three nested hierarchical structures, where in most cases conflicting objectives are set at each level of hierarchy. Such problems are common in management, engineering designs and in decision making situations in general, and are known to be strongly NP-hard. Existing solution methods lack universality in solving these types of pro...

in descriptive statistics, there are two computational algorithms for determining the variance s2, of a set of observations : algorithm 1: s2= - , algorithm 2: s2= , where . it is interesting to discuss, which of the above formulas is numerically more trustworthy in machine numbers sets. i this paper, based on total effect of rounding error, we prove that the second algorithm is better than ...

Rough surfaces pose a challenging shape extraction problem. Images of rough surfaces are often characterized by high frequency intensity variations, and it is difficult to perceive the shapes of these surfaces from their images. The shape-from-focur method described in this paper uses different focus levels to obtain a sequence of object images. The sum-modified-Laplacian (SML) operator is deve...

We present and analyze in 2D an algorithm for extracting selfconsistent sets of boundary representations of interfaces from level set representations of many phase systems. The conformal voxel algorithm which is presented requires the use of a mesh generator and is found to be robust and effective in producing the extractions in the presence of higher order junctions.

The only way to test the ability of concrete plants to produce high quality concrete is to test their final products. Also, the process of testing and controlling concrete quality is time consuming and expensive. In this regard, having a quick, cheap and efficient way to predict the readiness of concrete plants to produce high quality concrete is very valuable. In this paper, a probabilistic mu...
