Feature selection is often an essential data processing step prior to applying a learning algorithm. The removal of irrelevant and redundant information often improves the performance of machine learning algorithms. There are two common approaches: a wrapper uses the intended learning algorithm itself to evaluate the usefulness of features, while a filter evaluates features according to heurist...

The beta of a stock is important in a variety of contexts, ranging from the cost of capital, asset pricing theory, to hedging using index derivatives. It is common to measure betas by estimating the market model using straight ols in obtaining beta estimates. This assumes that betas are constant, despite strong economic arguments in favour of time–varying betas. In this paper, we test for time–...

This paper presents a novel feature selection approach to deal with issues of high dimensionality in biomedical data classification. Extensive research has been performed in the field of pattern recognition and machine learning. Dozens of feature selection methods have been developed in the literature, which can be classified into three main categories: filter, wrapper and hybrid approaches. Fi...

The notion of ultrametrics can be considered as a zero-dimensional analogue ordinary metrics, and it is expected to prove ultrametric versions theorems on metric spaces. In this paper, we provide the Arens-Eells isometric embedding theorem spaces, Hausdorff extension Niemytzki-Tychonoff characterization compactness, author’s interpolation metrics dense subsets spaces metrics.

‎three infinite families of finite abelian groups will be‎ ‎described such that each member of these families has‎ ‎the r'edei $k$-property for many non-trivial values of $k$‎.

In this paper the problems of state estimation, tracking control and shape control in a micro-cantilever beam with nonlinear electrostatic actuation are investigated. The system’s partial differential equation of motion is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations by projection method. Observabillity of the system is proven and a state estimation system is designed using extended ...

human brucellosis is a major health problem in developing countries. a number of patients with human brucellosis do not recover from the acute stage of the disease and pass into the chronic form. since the pathophysiology of this change is not well understood, we studied the t-cell subsets during the acute, subacute and chronic forms of human brucellosis. in this study we found alterations in t...

In this paper, we introduce a new generation of perfect-reconstruction filter banks that can be obtained from classical critically sampled filter banks by means of frequency transformations. The novel filters are Laguerre type IIR filters that can be directly derived and designed from ordinary orthogonal or biorthogonal filter banks. Generalized downsampling and upsampling operators based on di...
