Fuzzy rule-based classification system (FRBCS) is a popular machine learning technique for classification purposes. One of the major issues when applying it on imbalanced data sets is its biased to the majority class, such that, it performs poorly in respect to the minority class. However many cases the minority classes are more important than the majority ones. In this paper, we have extended ...

    Human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus which is associated with adult T cells leukaemia (ATL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) in a minority of HTLV-I-infected individuals. It is not clear why a minority of HTLV-I-infected individuals develop HAM/TSP and majority remains lifelong carriers. It seems that the interaction between the v...

Socially, the word"elite" is broadly used to refer to a superior group of peopleregarding skills or privileges and associates with other terms such aspolitical systems, "authorities", "minority favorite".Elites are cautious and opportunistic people. They are in every way and situationregarded as people's favorites. Focusing on concept of “elite” and “elitism”, theauthor in this paper, attempts ...

BACKGROUND Although it has been established that minority physicians tend to see more minority and more poor or uninsured patients, pediatrics as a specialty has not been studied in this regard. OBJECTIVE To determine if minority pediatricians disproportionately provide care to minority children and to poor and uninsured children, relative to nonminority pediatricians, while controlling for p...

Conformant planning is the problem of finding a sequence of actions that is guaranteed to achieve the goal for any possible initial state and nondeterministic behavior of the planning domain. In this paper we present a new algorithm for conformant planning, returning conformant plans of minimal length if the problem admits a solution, otherwise returning with failure. This work extends previous...

The role of systematic errors induced by thermal fluctuations is analyzed for the SPOrt experiment with the aim at estimating their impact on the measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization (CMBP). The transfer functions of the antenna devices from temperature to data fluctuations are computed, by writing them in terms of both instrument and thermal environment parameters. In ad...

Planning in nondeterministic domains has gained more and more importance. Conformant planning is the problem of finding a sequential plan that guarantees the achievement of a goal regardless of the initial uncertainty and of nondeterministic action effects. In this paper, we present a new and efficient approach to conformant planning. The search paradigm, called heuristic-symbolic search, relie...
