Since two of the most important disadvantages of the classical nonlinear regression methods, such as Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), are to calculate error derivative function and use an initial point to get the results, PSO algorithm, which lies in the category of population based meta-heuristic...

This paper discusses development and application of a decomposition neural network rule extraction algorithm for nonlinear regression problems. The algorithm is called the piece-wise linear artificial neural network or PWL-ANN algorithm. The objective of the algorithm is to “open up” the...

This article describes how simplifying production-planning approaches for demand responsiveness has been well recognized as an operative means of accomplishing production efficiency. To support an effective decision making in manufacturing environments, this study will focus on adopting time...

The need of faster life has caused the exponential growth in No. of vehicles on streets. The adverse effects include frequent traffic congestion, less time efficiency, unnecessary fuel consumption, pollution, accidents, etc. One of most important solution for resolving these problems is...

Research in neurophysiology and neuropsychology have established a strong dependence between emotion, subjectivity and decision-making. Otherwise, medical observations are used as one of the main inputs of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) which are designed to support patients with...

Economic growth is indispensable for the development of a country and welfare of its citizens. Economic activities can be improved with the enhancement of business sectors within its structure. Furthermore, exportation is a substantial means of reinforcing economic growth. In this research, the...

Academic Entrepreneurship in the last three decades has risen to greater heights. There are various reasons too. Indian's education sector has been undergoing sea changes in these decades. Every state has been opening up and there has been a plethora of institutions established. In the process,...

The current study systematically and thoroughly reviewed the extant literature on e-service quality research to examine 1) how e-service is defined by researchers, 2) how e-service quality is defined by researchers, 3) what e-service quality scales and dimensions have been identified, 4) what...
