this study provides an alternative approach to decisionmaking and its application in selecting the best attack helicopter. in thisway, principal component analysis (pca) is used to find the weights ofthe criteria after identifying the effective criteria for the evaluation andselection of attack helicopters. these weights, then, applied in theobjective function of goal programming (gp) model. fi...

The aim of this paper is to study the use of cross-correlation for radargrammetric applications. Two other criteria derived from Mean Square Error analysis are proposed. These three criteria are studied using two sets of tests on real data (high resolution, one-look image of a semi-urban area). The £rst test is based on the analysis of the heights of a set of buildings (the heights being obtain...

Clinical entities in the seronegative spondyloarthropathies329 are difficult to delineate and overlap considerably. Classifying Reiter's syndrome (RS) in particular is handicapped by the sporadic occurrence of the endemic disease, the transient nature of the disease in many cases, and the need for relatively long follow-up to establish the presence of x-ray changes. The presence of HLA-B27 has ...

In this paper a set of comprehensive evaluation criteria for affect-annotated databases is proposed. These criteria can be used for evaluation of the quality of a database on the stage of its creation as well as for evaluation and comparison of existing databases. The usefulness of these criteria is demonstrated on several databases selected from affect computing domain. The databases contain d...

E-learning is a type of learning supported by information communication technology that improves the quality of teaching and learning. This paper explores how a group of 95 respondents consisted of administrative and academic staff, and post graduate students evaluated five elearning approaches by using multi-criteria methods. They were asked to assess the relative importance of five e-learning...

There has been little basis on which to standardise a diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), and so 11 rheumatology units in the south and west of Great Britain have collaborated in a study to evaluate possible criteria. Symptoms and laboratory findings claimed to be of diagnostic value in PMR were included in an analysis of the features of 236 patients considered to have unequivocal PMR an...

The problem of technology management is presented on example of Radio Frequency Identification. Research questions were formulated and methodology for assessment of RFID was presented. Paper is focused on strategic aspects of assessment of RFID technology. Therefore, application of portfolio method was proposed. Original set of questions for evaluation criteria was proposed and tailored to supp...

When evaluating data mining algorithms that are applied to solve real-world problems there are often several, conflicting criteria that need to be considered. We investigate the concept of generic multi-criteria (MC) classifier and algorithm evaluation and perform a comparison of existing methods. This comparison makes explicit some of the important characteristics of MC analysis and focuses on...

Epilepsy surgery has benefited from major advances during the last 20 years, thanks to the development of neuroimaging and long-term video-electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring. However, it remains the case that only a small minority of potential epilepsy surgery candidates will have access to a comprehensive presurgical evaluation. Furthermore, this subset of patients are operated on after ...
