The main models of machine learning are briefly reviewed and considered for building a classifier to identify the Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). We have analyzed 172 patients potentially affected by FXS in Andalusia (Spain) and, by means of a DNA test, each member of the data set is known to belong...

Management Information Systems are meant to create methods for data management, leading to better decision making. By designing, implementing and using business information systems in innovative ways, the effectiveness and efficiency of every-day activities significantly increases. In the...

This paper introduces support vector machines (SVM), the latest neural network algorithm, to wind speed prediction and compares their performance with the multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural networks. Mean daily wind speed data from Madina city, Saudi Arabia, is used for building and testing both...

In this work, a neural network-based solution to BSIM3v3 MOSFET model is developed to find the most suitable channel parameters to improve the production yield and operation accuracy of submicron integrated circuits. By means of the proposed solution the channel parameters of each transistor can...

There are several challenges confronting energy production nowadays, such as increasing the efficiency of combustion processes and at the same time reducing harmful emissions. The latter, however, often necessitates process improvement, which requires knowledge of the behavior of the process. It...
