Classifier systems are machine learning systems incotporating a genetic algorithm as the learning mechanism. Although they respond to inputs that neural networks can respond to, their internal structure, representation fonnalisms, and learning mechanisms differ marlcedly from those employed by neural network researchers in the same sorts of domains. As a result, one might conclude that these tw...

The integration of different existing tools, each of them not covering the whole life cycle, to a SEE (Software Engineering Environment) is an actual task. There are two main mechanisms of integration. The fIrst one is the vertical integration, that means, that a common user interface and a common data base are available for the tools to be assembled into a CASE Environment. ( The second one is...

We consider two approaches to robust estimation for the Box-Cox power transfonnation "model. one approach maximizes weighted, modified likelihoods. A second approach bounds the self-standardized gross-error sensitivity, a measure of the potential influence of outliers pIoneered by KrasKer and Welsch (JASA, 1982). Among our primary concerns is the performance of these estimators on actual data. ...

Some researchers in pattem recognition theory claim thal for pattem recognition and classification dustering Iransfonnations are needed which reduce the intra-class entropy. This is implemented for Gaussian sources by a linear transfonnation using the eigenvectors with the smallest eigenvalues. This paper shows thal using ru basic building block a linear neuron with an Anti-Hebb rule and restri...

the insulin-like growth factor i receptor (igf-ir) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. interference with the igf-ir pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. we stably transfected the pc-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an igf-ir antisense rna expression plasmid. the numbe...

For demonstration of cell-mediated immunity and its role in the process of dermatophytosis, 98 patients with acute dermatophytosis (group I) and 131 chronic dermatophytosis patients (group 2) were chosen. In ail patients, lymphocyte transfonnation and skin test were used. 96 members of group I (98%) had positive delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to trichophytin, whereas only 43 ...

Optimal space trajectory problems and the necessaly and sufficient conditions that define their solutions are stated most compactly in terms of position and velocity vectors. To obtain analytical or numerical solutions, however, the problems are expressed using a particular set of coordinates. Each set of coordinates has advantages and disadvantages depending on the application. Thus, it may be...

The purpose of the }i-'ork presented here is to convert the design documentation of procedural application systems into an object-oriented design for the purpose of populating an object-oriented repository, The prerequisite is to have a single design representation -the object model as specified in the OMG Unified Modeling Language, That entails transforming procedural programs into class hiera...

A straightforward isolated word recognition system has been used to test different auditory models in acoustic front end processing. The models include BARK, PHON, and SONE. The PHONTEMP model is based on PHON but also includes temporal forward masking. We also introduce a model, DOMIN, whieh is intended to measure the dominating frequency at each point along the 'basilar membrane.' A11 the abo...
