paper, a new evolving network model with the concept of physical position neighbourhood connectivity is proposed and studied … distances and degree distributions for different evolving parameters of this model are presented. The dynamical behaviour of … each node on the consensus problem is also studied. It is found that the degree distribution of this new model represents a …

We provide new evidence on the extent to which the demand for cigarettes is derived from the demand for weight control … (i.e. weight loss or avoidance of weight gain). We utilize nationally representative data that provide the most direct … evidence to date on this question: individuals are directly asked whether they smoke to control their weight. We find that …

KNN algorithm is a simple and efficient algorithm developed to solve classification problems. However, it encounters problems when classifying datasets with non-uniform density distributions. The existing KNN voting mechanism may lose essential information by considering majority only and get...

A decision-making problem diffused in various practical contexts is that of aggregating multi-agent judgements into a consensus ordering, in the case the agents' importance is expressed through a set of weights. A crucial point in this aggregation is that the consensus ordering well reflects the...
