Despite their importance in biology and biomedicine, genetic mapping of binary traits that change over time has not been well explored. In this article, we develop a statistical model for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that govern longitudinal responses of binary traits. The model is...

This paper investigates the effects of the provision of traffic information on toll road usage based on a stated preference survey conducted in central Texas. Although many researchers have studied congestion pricing and traffic information dissemination extensively, most of them focused on the...

The minimum weighted dominating set (MWDS) problem is one of the classic NP-hard optimization problems in graph theory with applications in many fields such as wireless communication networks. MWDS in general graphs has been showed not to have polynomial-time constant-approximation if <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource...</equationsource></inlineequation>

In this paper we develop a measure for calculating the association coefficient between Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs), and show its desirable axiomatic properties. Then we present an algorithm for clustering A-IFSs. The algorithm first utilizes the association coefficient of...

Admissible consensus analysis and design problems for high-order linear time-invariant singular swarm systems with time delays and external disturbances are investigated. Firstly, by the state space decomposition, a necessary and sufficient condition for admissible consensus is given and an...
