In exciting new work, Bertsimas et al. (2016) showed that the classical best subset selection problem in regression modeling can be formulated as a mixed integer optimization (MIO) problem. Using recent advances in MIO algorithms, they demonstrated that best subset selection can now be solved at much larger problem sizes that what was thought possible in the statistics community. They presented...

Cooperative system is a tendency in the future communications because it provides a spatial diversity to improve the system performance. Three strategies including Amplify-and-Forward (AF) mode, Decode-and-Forward (DF) mode and Compress and Forward (CF) mode could be candidate to be employed in the system. This work considers the cooperative communication systems in DF Mode. The scenario includ...

In order to accurately measure the gene expression levels in microarray experiments, it is crucial to design unique, highly specific and highly sensitive oligonucleotide probes for the identification of biological agents such as genes in a sample. Unique probes are difficult to obtain for closely related genes such as the known strains of HIV genes. The non-unique probe selection problem is to ...

Preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease is greatly facilitated by the availability of biomarkers. Recent improvements in bioinformatics technology have facilitated large-scale screening of DNA arrays for candidate biomarkers. Here we discuss a gene analysis method that we call the LEAve-one-out Forward selection method (LEAF) for discovering informative genes embedded in expression data, a...

The selection of suppliers had always been a key point of the supply chain management, directly impact the operation of supply chain. In this context, firstly introduced the study situation of supplier selection, established the evaluation index system based on the research and then puts forward a new method for supplier selection based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Finally, using an example to...

An opportunistic relay selection based on instantaneous knowledge of channels is considered to increase security against eavesdroppers. The closed-form expressions are derived for the average secrecy rates and the outage probability when the cooperative networks use Decode-and-Forward (DF) or Amplifyand-Forward (AF) strategy. These techniques are demonstrated analytically and with simulation re...

An efficient model identification algorithm for a large class of linear-in-the-parameters models is introduced that simultaneously optimises the model approximation ability, sparsity and robustness. The derived model parameters in each forward regression step are initially estimated via the orthogonal least squares (OLS), followed by being tuned with a new gradient-descent learning algorithm ba...
