Churn prediction is a useful tool to predict customer at churn risk. By accurate prediction of churners and non-churners, a company can use the limited marketing resource efficiently to target the churner customers in a retention marketing campaign. Accuracy is not the only important aspect in evaluating a churn prediction models. Churn prediction models should be both accurate and comprehensib...

some applications are critical and must designed fault tolerant system. usually voting algorithm is one of the principle elements of a fault tolerant system. two kinds of voting algorithm are used in most applications, they are majority voting algorithm and weighted average algorithm these algorithms have some problems. majority confronts with the problem of threshold limits and voter of weight...

In this paper, a comparative study of classification of the analog modulated communication signals using clustering techniques is introduced. Four different clustering algorithms are implemented for classifying the analog signals. These clustering techniques are K-means clustering, fuzzy c-means clustering, mountain clustering and subtractive clustering. Two key features are used for characteri...

This paper presents clustering techniques (K-means, Fuzzy K-means, Subtractive) applied on specific databases (Flower Classification and Mackey-Glass time series) , to automatically process large volumes of raw data, to identify the most relevant and significative patterns in pattern recognition, to extract production rules using Mamdani and Takagi-SugenoKang fuzzy logic inference system types.

Fuzzy C-means (FCM) is a popular algorithm using the partitioning approach to solve problems in data clustering. A drawback to FCM, however, is that it requires the number of clusters and the clustering partition matrix to be set a priori. Typically, the former is set by the user and the latter is initialized randomly. This approach may cause the algorithm get stuck in a local optimum because F...

Traffic monitoring and managing in urban intelligent transportation systems (ITS) can be carried out based on vehicular sensor networks. In a vehicular sensor network, vehicles equipped with sensors such as GPS, can act as mobile sensors for sensing the urban traffic and sending the reports to a traffic monitoring center (TMC) for traffic estimation. The energy consumption by the sensor nodes i...
