This study aims to incorporate Artificial Neural Networks into a Marketing Decision Support System (MDSS), specifically, by discovering important variables that influence sales performance of colour television (CTV) sets in the Singapore market using neural networks. Three kinds of variables, expert knowledge, marketing information and environmental data, are examined. The information about the...

It is very important to get financial supporting for Small and Medium Business(SMB) from the banks, which can set up a effective credit assessing system so that it can dispel misgiving of bank in the cause of the loaning to SMB. According to the credit grade assessment for SMB in practice and the related theories, a set of index system which assesses a SMB’s credit grade is established. Basing ...

The concept of drug-likeness, an important characteristic for any compound in a screening library, is nevertheless difficult to pin down. Based on our belief that this concept is implicit within the collective experience of working chemists, we devised a data set to capture an intuitive human understanding of both this characteristic and ease of synthesis, a second key characteristic. Five chem...

In view of the difficulty in diagnosing the early small faults of front-end controlled wind generator (FSCWG), this paper proposes a small fault diagnosis methods based on deep learning. The method adopts a deep learning method, uses vibration data under several different small fault patterns of FSCWG as input of the model and gets deep learning diagnosis model by learning complicated implicit ...

This chapter presents a software simulator called LOSIMOPU. LOSIMOPU allows users to build a supply chain model and analyze the sensitivity of logistics on assigned policy and capacity under uncertainty. LOSIMOPU consists of five kinds of participants (endcustomer, intermediate supplier, end-supplier, transportation server, and electronic payment server) and an e-marketplace for the supply chai...

The ISM band is an extremely over utilized communications medium. Wireless LAN technology, Bluetooth, and landline wireless devices all make use of the ISM band. The support vector machine is proposed as a tool for predicting channel availability and thus using the band more efficiently. Data processing, feature extraction, and results are presented. Suggestions for future work in this area are...
