forecasting of municipal waste generation is a critical challenge for decision making and planning,because proper planning and operation of a solid waste management system is intensively affected by municipal solid waste (msw) streams analysis and accurate predictions of solid waste quantities generated. due to dynamic and complexity of solid waste management system, models by artificial intell...

objective: international diabetes organization estimates that there are 285 million people worldwide who suffer from diabetes, and this figure is expected to increase to 450 million in next 20 years. according to statistics issued by the world health organization, diabetes is considered among ten leading causes of death in world and its prevalence in the population is growing.this paper deals w...

microarray data have an important role in identification and classification of the cancer tissues. having a few samples of microarrays in cancer researches is always one of the most concerns which lead to some problems in designing the classifiers. for this matter, preprocessing gene selection techniques should be utilized before classification to remove the noninformative genes from the microa...

background: numerous studies used microarray gene expression data to extract metastasis-driving gene signatures for the prediction of breast cancer relapse. however, the accuracy and generality of the previously introduced biomarkers are not acceptable for reliable usage in independent datasets. this inadequacy is attributed to ignoring gene interactions by simple feature selection methods, due...

We propose a new support vector machine (SVM) based method that improves the time series classification in magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We exploit the robust anisotropic diffusion (RAD) technique to increase the classification performance of the one class support vector machine by taking into account the hypothesis of spatial relationship between active voxels. The proposed method was cal...

This paper proposes a Multiclass Least Squares Twin Support Vector Machine (MLSTSVM) classifier for multi-class classification problems. The formulation of MLSTSVM is obtained by extending the formulation of recently proposed binary Least Squares Twin Support Vector Machine (LSTSVM) classifier. For M-class classification problem, the proposed classifier seeks M-non parallel hyper-planes, one fo...

In this paper, we apply a new machine learning method which is called support vector machine to approach the prediction of protein structural class. The support vector machine method is performed based on the database derived from SCOP which is based upon domains of known structure and the evolutionary relationships and the principles that govern their 3D structure. As a result, high rates of b...

monitoring and controlling air quality parameters form an important subject of atmospheric and environmental research today due to the health impacts caused by the different pollutants present in the urban areas. the support vector machine (svm), as a supervised learning analysis method, is considered an effective statistical tool for the prediction and analysis of air quality. the work present...
