strategic selection problem is a multi-criteria problem which includes conflicting tangible and intangible criteria. in order to select the most appropriate strategic alternative it is necessary to make tradeoffs between these criteria as well as taking into account the resource limitations which may exist. available methods neglect the distance concept which exists between the alternatives wei...

much research hasn’t been done in the area of project selection in the public sector. in this paper, we tried to choose projects in the public sector, and a linear programming model is presented. in an effort to build the model, the decision criteria were identified using the delphi method and then the criteria were reviewed at conceptual combining. the model was constructed in a linear, goal a...

In recent years, various model selection procedures (criteria) that can be used for the selection of the best possible model have been proposed. The AIC criterion (Akaike, 1973) is considered the most popular tool for model selection although many competitors have been introduced over the years. One of the main drawbacks of AIC is its tendency to favor high dimensional models namely to overesti...

Comparisons are made for the amount of agreement of the composite likelihood information criteria and their full likelihood counterparts when making decisions among the fits of different models, and some properties of penalty term for composite likelihood information criteria are obtained. Asymptotic theory is given for the case when a simpler model is nested within a bigger model, and the bigg...

Robust acoustic segmentation has become a critical issue in order to apply speech recognition to audio streams with variable acoustic content, e.g. radio programs. Many techniques in the literature base segmentation on statistical model selection, by applying the Bayesian Information Criterion. This work reviews alternative model selection criteria and presents comparative experiments both unde...
