this paper presents a deterministic approach for performance assessment of different province’s road safety level at iran. a data envelopment analysis (dea) model considering undesirable input and output indices and a multivariate statistical method, principle component analysis (pca) are used in this paper, while previous studies do not use composite pca-dea method and undesirable input and ou...

Development in Human Computer Interactions (HCI) helps in budding user friendly systems to communicate with computers. One of the fundamental techniques that aid Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is face recognition. Face recognition is one of the most successful applications of image analysis and pattern recognition. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is considered as the first real time face r...

background: fetal electrocardiography is a developing field that provides valuable information on the fetal health during pregnancy. by early diagnosis and treatment of fetal heart problems, more survival chance is given to the infant. objective: here, we extract fetal ecg from maternal abdominal recordings and detect r-peaks in order to recognize fetal heart rate. on the next step, we find a b...

the brain – computer interface (bci) provides a communicational channel between human and machine. most of these systems are based on brain activities. brain computer-interfacing is a methodology that provides a way for communication with the outside environment using the brain thoughts. the success of this methodology depends on the selection of methods to process the brain signals in each pha...

We propose a simple yet efficient feature-selection method — based on principle component analysis (PCA) — for SVM-based classifiers. The idea is to select features whose corresponding axes are closest to the principle components computed from a data distribution by PCA. Experimental results show that our proposed method reduces dimensionality similar to PCA, but maintains the original measurem...
