Variable selection via penalized estimation is appealing for dimension reduction. For penalized linear regression, Efron, et al. (2004) introduced the LARS algorithm. Recently, the coordinate descent (CD) algorithm was developed by Friedman, et al. (2007) for penalized linear regression and penalized logistic regression and was shown to gain computational superiority. This paper explores...

Bipolar-valued fuzzification of the notion of implicative hyper BCK-ideals is considered. Using the concepts of positive and negative lever sets, a characterization of a bipolar fuzzy implicative hyper BCK-ideal is provided. A relation between a bipolar fuzzy hyper BCK-ideal and a bipolar fuzzy implicative hyper BCK-ideal is established. A condition for a bipolar fuzzy hyper BCK-ideal to be a b...

In this paper we introduce the concepts of hyper P -semisimple Ialgebra and Abelian hyper I-algebra and we state and prove some related results. The hyper p-semi simple I-algebras is a generalization of p-semisimple BCI-algebras and a subclass of hyper I-algebras. Specially we show that every Abelian hyper I-algebra is a hyper psemisimple I-algebra and a commutative canonical hypergroup. In fol...

We present a simple explicit construction of hyper-Kähler and hyper-symplectic (also known as neutral hyper-Kähler or hyper-parakähler) metrics in 4D using the Bianchi type groups of class A. The construction underlies a correspondence between hyper-Kähler and hyper-symplectic structures in dimension four.

‎Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge‎ ‎set E(G)‎. ‎The (first) edge-hyper Wiener index of the graph G is defined as‎: ‎$$WW_{e}(G)=sum_{{f,g}subseteq E(G)}(d_{e}(f,g|G)+d_{e}^{2}(f,g|G))=frac{1}{2}sum_{fin E(G)}(d_{e}(f|G)+d^{2}_{e}(f|G)),$$‎ ‎where de(f,g|G) denotes the distance between the edges f=xy and g=uv in E(G) and de(f|G)=∑g€(G)de(f,g|G). ‎In thi...

It has become increasingly apparent that the extracellular matrix (ECM), which in plants corresponds to the cell wall, can influence intracellular activities in ways that go far beyond their supposedly passive mechanical support. In plants, growing cells use mechanisms sensing cell wall integrity to coordinate cell wall performance with the internal growth machinery to avoid growth cessation or...

The six-degree equations of flight in their classic form do not provide a proper physical perception due to a number of interferences. Nor do they render visible the important role of attack angles. In this study, attempts have been made to develop a complete set of 3D acceleration equations from the equations of normal and tangential acceleration αN=vωv, αt=v ̇. For this purpose, a coordinate s...

Optimization of the structures of large molecules by quantum chemical methods requires stable, efficient, and therefore, elaborate optimization algorithms, usually in the framework of an over-complete, redundant internal coordinate system. Since the derivatives of the energy are calculated with respect to the Cartesian coordinates of the nuclei, they must be transformed into the internal coordi...
